Tennessee Titans (5-5) vs. Indianapolis Colts (4-5)
Neither the Titans or Colts are over .500 for the season, but they are still in the AFC South race. They both trail the 6-3 Houston Texans, who have a tough game this Monday night facing the Oakland Raiders in Mexico City. Tennessee is coming off a big win over the Green Bay Packers where their offense blew up and scored 47 points. They have won two of their last three games and in that span they are averaging 39.3 ppg.
The Colts are coming off a bye and they have also won two of their last three games with their last win against the Packers as well. That game was in Green Bay and they are the slight home favorite in this game. They already beat the Titans at home this season 34-26. The Colts do not have one win this season facing a team that currently has a winning record.
In their last games the Titans beat the Green Bay Packers 47-25 and the Colts also beat the Packers 31-26 and they are coming off a bye.

The Titans lit up the Packers in their last game where they had a balanced contest with 284 passing yards, 162 rushing yards, and their defense forced three turnovers. Marcus Mariota passed for 295 yards with four TD and no picks in the game with Delane Walker being his main target with 124 receiving yards and a TD. In the backfield DeMarco Murray had another solid game rushing for 123 yards with a TD and he ranks 2nd in the league in rushing yards.

Luck has had to do most of the work on offense and protecting him will be key. The Indy offensive line has a tall task in this game facing a Tennessee pass rush that ranks 4th in the league in sacks and took down Aaron Rodgers five times in last week’s win over the Packers. Tennessee only ranks 16th in the league in run defense, but facing Luck their main worry is their 29th ranked pass defense. In the earlier win this season against the Titans Luck passed for 353 yards with three TD and no INT.
