Indianapolis Colts (6-3) @ Tennessee Titans (4-5)
Both teams are coming off of embarrassing losses. The Colts had a complete breakdown and were blown out 38-8 by the Rams What happened to the Colts team that beat the Broncos, Seahawks and 49ers? I don't know, but their inconsistency is starting to scare Colts fans. Trent Richardson produced a total of two yards on 5 carries. I'm starting to see why Cleveland traded him earlier in the season. Since the trade, Richardson has just 145 yards and 2 TDs in seven games. One thing that Richardson did well with the Browns was catch passes and for whatever reason he hasn't caught a pass since becoming a Colt. Beyond Richardson, the running game is nonexistent. You have Donald Brown who has less yards than Richardson. Luck has been playing well enough to where he isn't hurting his team. If there is an opportunity, he will succeed. But, without a running game they will have problems.
The Titans let the Jaguars get their first win on the season as they had an all around bad game. What's worse than the loss in the injury to Jake Locker leaving the game in the first half. Back up Ryan Fitzpatrick is not necessarily the QB that is going to take the Titans to the Promised Lands. If he didn't turn the ball over so much, he'd be alright. Chris Johnson is effective at times but inconsistent. The defense is good enough to hold the team together but the offense has to move the ball in order to keep them rested.
Thursday night might just be an ugly game. The Colts will make fewer mistakes and should take advantage of the Titans injury woes. If the Colts can get any spark in the running game, then it will help very much. I like the Colts to bounce back and win on the road.
My final: Indianapolis 24 Tennessee 20
