The Colts have won several close games recently, and now they have to face the hottest team in the NFL. The Titans are a bad match-up for the Colts in this spot for two main reasons. Tennessee has been one of the best and most physical running teams over the last few weeks. Indianapolis is banged up on defense, and they struggle against good running teams. Also, the Titans have a big revenge angle here after getting embarrassed by the Colts at home earlier in the season. Their secondary was severely banged up in that game though, which allowed Peyton Manning to move the ball at will through the air. The Titans pass defense has been much better lately, as their secondary is finally fully healthy. The Colts know that they essentially have home field advantage wrapped up for the playoffs, so they won’t be playing with a sense of urgency like Tennessee is. Look for this game to be very close with the Titans having a chance to win outright.
