Tennessee Titans

Week 1Sun, Sep 13 vs. New York Jets Opp. rank #21Group D
L 10-23 Line -1.5 ATS: Did not cover (-14.5)

Jets 23, TITANS 10 (TEN -1.5). The Jets moved the ball well on the Titans, who barely did anything offensively until garbage time. Their only touchdown came very late. 367-195 NYJ, 5.8-4.0 NYJ

Week 2Sun, Sep 20 vs. Philadelphia Eagles Opp. rank #11Group B
L 20-24 Line +7 ATS: Covered (+3)

Eagles 24, TITANS 20 (TEN +7). The Eagles nearly gave this game away with an effective pick-six on the first drive and some big plays surrendered by the defense in a very hot game. The Titans went up 20-17, but Jalen Hurts led a game-winning drive in the final minutes. 341-291 PHI, 5.7-4.7 TEN

Week 3Sun, Sep 27 at New York Giants Opp. rank #15Group C
L 7-12 Line +2.5 ATS: Did not cover (-2.5)

GIANTS 12, Titans 7 (NYG -2.5). The Giants kept the chains moving with tough runs from Cam Skattebo and Najee Harris, but could never score touchdowns. The Titans had three red zone opportunities late but could score only once with a turnover on downs and an interception. 262-238 TEN, 4.6-4.1 TEN

Week 4Sun, Oct 4 at Baltimore Ravens Opp. rank #4Group A
L 18-24 Line +11.5 ATS: Covered (+5.5)

RAVENS 24, Titans 18 (BAL -11.5). The Ravens were up 24-7 at halftime, as the Titans had no answer for Lamar Jackson.

Week 5Sun, Oct 11 vs. Houston Texans Opp. rank #18Group C
L 3-26 Line +7.5 ATS: Did not cover (-15.5)

Texans 26, TITANS 3 (TEN +7.5). The Titans kicked an early field goal and then the Texans outscored them 26-0 the rest of the way. Their defensive line gave Cam Ward no chance. 329-187 HOU, 5.2-3.2 HOU

Indianapolis Colts

Week 1Sun, Sep 13 vs. Baltimore Ravens Opp. rank #11Group B
L 23-41 Line +3.5 ATS: Did not cover (-14.5)

Ravens 41, COLTS 23 (IND +3.5). The Ravens dominated this game with so many big plays from the three primary players. This was a 28-6 game when the Colts did stuff in garbage time. 506-251 BAL, 7.9-4.7 BAL

Week 2Sun, Sep 20 at Kansas City Chiefs Opp. rank #14Group C
L 30-33 Line +6.5 ATS: Covered (+3.5)

Week 3Sun, Sep 27 vs. Houston Texans Opp. rank #7Group B
W 19-17 Line +1.5 ATS: Covered (+3.5)

COLTS 19, Texans 17 (IND +1.5). The Texans strip-sacked Daniel Jones twice in this game, but Jones otherwise shredded Houston's secondary, while C.J. Stroud couldn't get anything going on offensive. The Texans once again blew a scoring opportunity on a fourth-down stuff. 300-223 IND, 4.4-4.2 HOU

Week 4Sun, Oct 4 vs. Washington Redskins (neutral) Opp. rank #29Group F
W 30-13 Line -3.5 ATS: Covered (+13.5)

L 22-34 Line +2.5 ATS: Did not cover (-9.5)

STEELERS 34, Colts 22 (PIT -2.5). This was a close game for most of the afternoon before the Steelers pulled away late. The Colts couldn't run the ball and constantly kicked in the red zone. Their defense looked tired from travel. 352-332 PIT, 6.5-4.8 PIT
