Tennessee at Indianapolis

Guys, this spread couldn't be high enough. The Colts are super-hot right now, making it almost impossible to bet against them. They are scoring 34.5 points per game this year and it's only going north. Over their last three, they are averaging nearly 44 per game! They are absolutely crushing everything in their path. The Titans, meanwhile, are out of the playoffs and I'm thinking - out of steam. What do they have to play for this week? Nada. Zero. Nothing. This team is deflated and defeated. Steve McNair this week admitted he can't play with these injuries. He hinted at retirement. Do you do that and then come out and play your best game of the season? Not likely. And unless all the Titans play their best game, they have no shot here. As I mentioned last week, the much maligned Indy defense actually has been playing very good against poor offenses. While giving up 33 per game against offenses ranked in the top half of th league, they are allowing just 15.4 vs. teams in the bottom half. They beat Tennessee 31-17 in week two and they've just gotten much better since then. Peyton Manning and the league's top ranked offense is going to tee off on Tennesse, who is rife with injuries in the secondary. They are without their starting free safety and one or both cornerbacks. While the Colts could fall unexpectedly before the end of this season, it won't be this week. I expect a big time blowout in this one as the Colts could cover the 55 point O/U by themselves. Three stars on Indy.
