Titans-Colts Official Betting Preview: Spread Picks Info

While baseball bettors are checking the Denver weather for the Rockies hosting the Phillies, it’s time for the official betting preview of the Colts and Titans.

The NBC Sunday night football game sees Indianapolis -4.5 at Bodog yet 3.5 at SportsBook so there are serious line movement and middling opportunities for line shoppers.  

It’s a battle of an undefeated straight up team at a winless one. The Colts are 4-0 straight up and 3-1 against the spread. Tennessee is 0-4 straight up, 1-3 against the spread going over 3-of-4.

The Colts are averaging a stunning 9.6 yards per pass attempt to teams that normally allow just 7.5. Even without Bob Sanders, who may play tonight, the Colts are allowing 4.0 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.4 and 5.0 yards per pass to 6.0. Overall they are holding opponents to .7 yards per play below their normal average.

The Titans are greatly outplaying their record. They average 5.5 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.4 and 5.7 yards per play to 5.4.

On defense they allow a miniscule 2.8 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.0 and hold foes to .2 yards per play below their normal average.

The Titans are expected to use the wildcat formation with Vince Young. While elite handicappers warn that rankings are not as important as ratings, note that the Titans are ranked dead last in the NFL in pass defense and they face the offense ranked first.

This production is despite losing No. 2 receiver Anthony Gonzalez in the opening week. Revenge could be on the mind of the Colts as they’ve won 13 straight games in the regular season. Their last loss was at Nashville.

Tennessee has won 3-of-5 straight up in the series and the Colts last win was in last season’s finale, a game that meant as much as a preseason contest to each team.

Against the spread records: The Colts are 5-12 to the AFC South and 1-6 off an straight up win of 14 or more and 1-6 after allowing 90 yards rushing last game.

The Titans are 8-0 as an underdog of 3.5-10, but 2-10 when getting more than 250 yards passing last game. The Titans are 5-1 in the series.
