Tennessee Titans Vs Indianapolis Colts: Las Vegas Line & Pick Against the Spread

Tennessee Titans & Chris Johnson Can Ruin Peyton Manning & Indianapolis Colts Year

Todd Jacobs
The Tennessee Titans have only one objective when they travel to Indianapolis to take on the Indianapolis Colts on January 2nd. Beat The Colts and end their season. The last week of the NFL season is always fun and divisional games like this AFC South battle make it worth the price of admission.

Tennessee Titans Offense vs Indianapolis Colts Defense

The Tennessee Titans have dedicated themselves to their running back Chris Johnson and now they have found their winning ways once again. Randy Moss is still non existent on this offense but Kenny Britt has quickly established himself back into the offensive scheme. This begs the question. What is wrong with Randy Moss?

Moss is not running his routes correctly and he has not shown a willingness to play at the level he is capable for three NFL teams this season. The window of opportunity for Randy Moss is quickly closing and it is apparent he done as an NFL wide receiver.

The Indianapolis Colts defense will have to prove they can stop Chris Johnson in this game. They failed in their last game against Johnson and it will be critical for them to stuff the run and Johnson early in this game. The secondary of the Indianapolis Colts has been strongest unit on defense as well as their pass rush. They are giving up 209 yards per game through the air and have contained some of the best wide receivers in the NFL this season. The Tennessee Titans offense has the edge over the Indianapolis Colts defense.

Tennessee Titans Defense vs Indianapolis Colts Offense

Defense has been the Tennessee Titans strong suit this season but their secondary has weakened as the year has wound down. Their blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend is proof there is an issue with the secondary. Courtland Finnegan has been smoked several times this season. Coming into the season he was rated as a top five NFL corner but his antics are wearing thin with officials and his own teammates.

Up front the Tennessee Titans have performed well. Jason Babin is an excellent pass rusher that has strong back up with linebackers such as Stephen Tulloch. The Titans are giving up 114 yards on the ground which is a decline over their numbers to begin the season.

Peyton Manning is near impossible to stop on offense. His Indianapolis Colts offense has been decimated by injuries and the loss of Austin Collie last week was a devastating loss for this offense once again. Manning has created some new receiver connections such as a Jacob Tamme but he has not been as consistent as the man he replaced, Dallas Clark.

The return of Joseph Addai could be a huge boost to this team if the Indianapolis Colts can establish a running game. They have not had a running back be consistent in this offense all season long and if they can get a running game they can win this game. The Indianapolis Colts offense has the edge over the Tennessee Titans defense,
