Tennessee Titans: A Challenging Road Ahead Against the Colts
Team Overview
The Tennessee Titans have had a difficult 2025 season, currently holding a 1-2 record over their last three games. Their offense has struggled, ranking 25th in scoring and 26th in passing yards during the 2024 season. With a challenging matchup against the Indianapolis Colts on the horizon, the Titans face a crucial test.
Offensively, the Titans have relied heavily on Cameron Ward, who has thrown for 1,356 yards in seven games. However, his performance has been hindered by interceptions, ranking 33rd with five thrown this season. The team will need him to limit turnovers if they hope to compete against the Colts.
Offensive Players to Watch
Tony Pollard has been a key contributor in the backfield, rushing for 380 yards and scoring two touchdowns this season. Despite his efforts, the Titans’ rushing attack ranks only 19th, putting more pressure on Pollard to perform against a stout Colts defense.
Calvin Ridley leads the Titans’ receiving corps with 290 yards, despite missing one game. His status is questionable due to a hamstring injury, and his availability could significantly impact the Titans’ passing game.
Defensive Challenges
The Titans’ defense ranks 27th in opponent scoring, allowing 460 points last season. Although they have been effective at creating turnovers, with 11 interceptions and six fumbles recovered, their inability to consistently stop opponents has been costly.
Jeffery Simmons, a key defensive lineman, is questionable for the upcoming game due to a hamstring injury. His presence on the field is crucial for Tennessee’s pass rush, which ranks 16th with 32 sacks last season.

Will Levis and Mike Brown are confirmed out, further impacting the Titans’ roster depth. As they head into Week 8, the Titans need to find ways to compensate for these absences.
Colts vs Titans Prediction: Colts -14.0
The Indianapolis Colts have been dominant at home this season with a perfect 4-0 record. Against a struggling Tennessee Titans team, who are 1-6 overall and 1-3 on the road, the Colts have a significant advantage. The Colts have also covered the spread in five of their last six home games, showcasing their consistency in performing against the spread (ATS).
Despite the Titans’ interim head coach Mike McCoy’s efforts, the team has faced challenges, evident in their poor season record. With the Colts’ strong offensive showing, ranking 16th in scoring last season, they are well-positioned to exploit the Titans’ defensive weaknesses. The Titans’ defense ranked 27th in opponent scoring last season, which could spell trouble against the Colts’ efficient offense.
The head-to-head history favors Indianapolis, having won their last three encounters against the Titans. The Colts’ robust performance in divisional games, including a recent 41-20 victory over the Titans, further solidifies their chances of covering the spread. Given the Colts’ strong performance metrics and historical dominance, taking them at -14.0 appears a sound choice.
While the total is set at 47.0, the Colts’ offensive might and the Titans’ defensive struggles could push the game towards a higher total. The Colts are expected to score efficiently while limiting the Titans’ offensive opportunities. Projecting a final score of Colts 38 – Titans 17 aligns with this analysis.
- Colts vs Titans Prediction: Colts -14.0
- Colts vs Titans Score: Colts 38 – Titans 17
