The Indianapolis Colts are a perfect 7-0 straight up and against the spread in their last seven games against the Tennessee Titans. The Colts hope that stretch of dominance continues when they visit the Titans this Sunday afternoon in Tennessee.
Indianapolis is a 3-point road favorite on Sunday according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Six of the Colts’ last seven games against the Titans have been won by Indianapolis by four points or more.
Through the first two games of the season, the Colts offense is not working. Frank Gore has rushed for only 88 yards, Andrew Luck has thrown five interceptions and the team has scored only 21 points in losses to the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets.
Most of the Colts’ problems stem from the offensive line, which hasn’t been able to open up holes for the running game or protect Luck.
This is the second straight year that the Colts have started off the season 0-2 SU; last year, they bounced back with a 5-0 SU and ATS run over their next five games. Indianapolis is 13-0 SU and 12-0-1 ATS in its last 13 divisional games per the OddsShark NFL Database.
One week after a lopsided 42-14 blowout win on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Titans were on the other side of a lopsided game in a 28-14 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
Marcus Mariota played well in the loss, passing for 257 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, but the rookie quarterback also had three fumbles in the game. Tennessee is just 1-7 SU and ATS over its last eight games.
The UNDER is 6-0 in Indianapolis’ last six games on the road. Sunday’s total is currently set at 45 points.
While Indianapolis’ offensive struggles may be a cause for concern, it is worth pointing out that they have come against two excellent defenses. Against Tennessee’s defense and avoiding a potentially season-crushing 0-3 start, the Colts should be able to turn things around on offense and get a much needed win and cover on the road against the Titans.
