(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
