Regardless of what the records and standings state, this is going to be a physical matchup. It always is. The Titans should be relying on Derrick Henry more, especially since Grover Stewart has one game remaining on his suspension.
The Colts have played well on the road this season with a 4-1 record away from Lucas Oil Stadium while averaging 24 points per game in those matchups. The Titans have mirrored that success at home with a 4-1 record while averaging 23 points per game in those games.
It should be a fun matchup and one that is crucial for the AFC playoff race and just as the spread states, this could be a coin flip.
