Why Bet The Tennessee Titans
Because the Colts are down to their third-string quarterback! The Tennessee Titans have had a strange season but the good news is that they can still double their win mark from a season ago by beating the Colts in this contest. Unfortunately, the Titans have lost three straight and six of their last seven games overall, including their 34-6 beatdown at the hands of Houston last weekend. The Titans also won’t have gifted rookie signal-caller Marcus Mariota under center in this contest and will turn to backup Zach Mettenberger. The good news is that Mettenberger has tossed three touchdown passes in his last two games after Mariota suffered a sprained MCL. “This was the third day we’ve worked with him and we’re going to rule him out. It’s not worth the risk. He’s not as far along as we thought he would be, and we’re going to rule him out,” head coach Mike Mularkey said. Unfortunately, the Titans average just 18.3 points per game to rank 28th while allowing 26.2 points per game defensively (27th).
