(271) Tennessee Titans at (272) Indianapolis Colts: Spread

1:00pm EDT - Oct 18/2026

THE PLAY: Indianapolis Colts -6.5 (-120)

Off a 26-3 loss to Houston, the Titans are 0-5. Struggling on both sides of the ball, they've now lost 33 of their last 39 games. This figures to be another tough matchup for them. The Colts also lost their last game. However, they'd won two in a row before that. With back-to-back tough road contests following this one, Indianapolis needs to take advantage of this winnable game. The Colts have beaten the Texans six straight times. This season, the Titans are last in total offense (31st in passing and 27th in rushing) and they're also last in terms of average time of possession. They average just 11.6 ppg. Indianapolis averages 24.8 ppg. Last season's two games were both blowouts, the Colts winning by scores of 38-14 and 41-20. They should be able to win this one by at least a touchdown. *good at -7 or better

(155) Kent State at (156) South Florida: Spread

7:00pm EDT - Oct 17/2026

THE PLAY: South Florida -20.5 (-112)

The Golden Flashes are in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Off b2b losses, the Bulls will be looking to take out their anger on someone. Kent State represents the perfect victim. Kent State has played three road games and is 0-3 losing by a combined score of 154-10. Granted, those were some very tough venues. However, this is another one. The American Conference is much stronger than the MAC and the Bulls are (at least) a mid tier team from the American Conference while the Flashes are among the weaker teams in the MAC. That makes them one of the weaker teams in the entire country. I've got an angry and superior USF team winning by more than three touchdowns. *good at -21 or better
