Titans vs. Colts betting picks
Both Ryan Tannehill and Carson Wentz have been highly efficient more often than not this season. The Titans star has thrown a touchdown pass in five out of his seven outings this season, while the Colts quarterback has failed to find the endzone only once this season. Expect both to get at least one touchdown pass on Sunday.
Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor have had outstanding seasons so far in 2021. Both running backs are in tremendous form and their teams will want to take full advantage on Sunday. While both teams are good against the run, Henry and Taylor should log over 80 rushing yards on Sunday.

Titans vs. Colts Prediction
The Titans have emerged as the force in the AFC after beating the Buffalo Bills in Week 6 and blowing out the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7. The Colts have two on the bounce, but those victories came against the relatively poor Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers. The Titans are carrying plenty of momentum into the game, which gives them the edge.
Prediction: The Titans win a close game to sweep the season series against the Colts.
