NFL picks and predictions, Titans vs. Colts: Indianapolis appears a safe bet

Trying to get back to .500, the Colts face their second divisional foe in as many weeks with Tennessee coming to town.

The Indianapolis Colts(1-2) enter Week 4 with few doubters for Sunday's home game against the Tennessee Titans (1-2), as many are predicting the Colts to come out victorious. The Colts began the season with two consecutive losses but bounced back last Sunday with a resounding win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Meanwhile, the Titans looked fantastic in their season opener, pounding the Kansas City Chiefs 26-10 before dropping ugly games to the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals.

Indianapolis was expected by most pundits to win the AFC South for the second straight year, but it has suffered a bevy of injuries. Middle linebacker Jerrell Freeman has missed time with a hamstring injury, while outside linebacker Robert Mathis is out for the season after tearing his Achilles tendon.

Tennessee might be without starting quarterback Jake Locker, who was injured in the Titans' blowout loss to the Bengals. Locker has a wrist injury above his throwing hand, which means rookie Zach Mettenberger might get the call.

It was tough to find anybody who believes the Titans can go into Lucas Oil Stadium and pull off a victory. Over at USA Today, all seven experts are going with the home team. Of the eight analysts at CBS Sports, only Josh Katzowitz believes the Titans will cover the spread of 7.5 points. However, Katzowitz does pick the Colts to win the game.

The same can be said with the men of SB Nation, who all believe the Colts will continue their climb from the basement.
