.The 1st divisional competition of the Brian Callahan time for the Tennessee Titans figures to be an odd one.The Titans (1-3) multitude the Indianapolis Colts (2-3) in an AFC South showdown at Nissan Arena on Sunday (noontime CT, CBS). Neither group enters into the activity totally worked out in its quarterback condition, along with Titans passer Will certainly Levis working through a shoulder injury and also Colts passer Anthony Richardson coping with a skew accident. Each have actually been actually given ballots of peace of mind coming from their instructors to come back as starters when well-balanced, however it wouldn't be a shock to find either of the particular experienced back-ups Builder Rudolph and Joe Flacco as the 2 kids heal.For the Titans, Sunday is a possibility to put together a two-game winning touch as well as begin 1-0 in department action. Doing this will mean making the most of a Colts protection that has struggled by eventually getting Callahan's passing outburst to hit, along with benefiting from a turnover-prone Colts offense.Here are The Tennessean's hunting record and also predictions for Sunday's game.ESTES|Levis acquires cooked like a star. Can he play like one? Titans offense vs Colts protection: Will certainly Levis, pace control as well as the boom-or-bust attackTurnovers will certainly continue to be the concern until there's factor to assume or else. The Colts ranking No. 6 in the NFL in takeaways, paced by a league-leading five fumbles recuperated, and the Titans are still matched for last in free gifts and rank dead last in free offers every game.But reduce the takeaways and the Colts' protection has actually been just one of the circle's worst via five weeks. It has made it possible for one of the most lawns per activity in the NFL as well as rankings in all-time low 10 in points permitted per video game (25th), backyards made it possible for every play (29th), rush yards permitted every activity (31st), pass yards enabled per game (29th), pass yards permitted every effort (31st), very first downs enabled per video game (31st), third-down transformation cost allowed (28th) as well as red area touchdown price enabled (24th). The Titans' passing attack has actually disappointed so far. Levis will have extra chances to increase the outburst vertically against the Colts than he possesses previously, yet the Titans have not specifically proven they can capitalizing on those opportunities. There is actually a pathway to the Titans regulating the beat with a stable dosage of Tony Pollard and also Tyjae Spears runs, but provided the Colts' struggles against the successfully pass, this week needs to have to embody a progression for Levis and his receivers.Advantage: TitansTitans defense vs Indianapolis Colts outburst: Do not allow Joe Flacco beat youLet's certainly not discount Flacco's potential. Feel it or otherwise, he leads the NFL in passer ranking this period. He is actually still obtained an arm at 39 years of ages, and he has actually forged a connection along with recipients Alec Pierce as well as Josh Downs. But he is actually also restricted in his flexibility and also has actually been actually sacked 6 attend 2 games. Combine those limitations along with the Colts' injuries in advance and also running back Jonathan Taylor being limited through an ankle injury and also there must be actually an odds for the Titans to affix their ears back as well as rush.If Flacco starts, that is. Richardson might be back which might alter the game plan. Richardson and also Flacco both really love to examine defenses vertically, so the stress and anxiety on the Titans' safeties shouldn't be actually various. But Richardson' dual-threat talent puts a lot more tension on the Titans' linebackers to stay home and also edge protectors to include. The flip side, certainly, is actually that Richardson has actually been actually intercepted six opportunities to Flacco's zero. Creating turn overs hasn't precisely been a Titans durability this season, however Richardson's mistake-prone tendencies could possibly offer the Titans help.Advantage: TitansTitans vs Colts betting linePer BetMGM, the Colts are actually 1-point preferences to succeed. The Colts' moneyline is -115 and the Titans' moneyline is -105. The over-under points tot is actually 42.5. Offensive Titan of the Activity-- Is Going To Levis: It is actually opportunity for the quarterback to burst out. He still might switch the sphere over once or twice, but he'll also permit it loose.Defensive Titan of the Video Game-- Harold Landry III: This activity is actually a perfect option for the edge rushes to create some plays. Expect Landry to lead the charge.Surprise Titan of the Game-- Treylon Burks: Whether it's baffling to the fans or otherwise, the Titans maintain going back to Burks on deeper gos. This time, a couple of will hook up for a critical play.Score prophecy: Titans 24, Colts 20It's tough to place way too much religion in an unproven Titans' outburst. But the Colts' protection is actually battling a small amount way too much at the moment. Levis and also his teammates appear like they have with the sky considering that his launching as well as the Titans' self defense makes merely good enough plays to follow away with an AFC South win.Nick Suss is actually the Titans defeated writer for The Tennessean.
