The official Titans will beat the Colts thread (1 Viewer)

Get on while there still room. Fisher and his staff know how to play the Colts. They should have beaten them twice last year and their running game is as potent as last year. The Titans will have another 200 yard rushing game next week.

Who's on board? If you are a betting man, if the line is over 6...take it

 
I think they will, besides the Pats, no team in the NFL plays better against the Colts than the Tennessee Titans.

 
2006..The Colts SuperBowl year

Week 5 in INDY- Colts 14- Titans 13 (Colts rallied to win in 4th QTR)

Week 13 in TN - Colts 17- Titans 20

There were only 5 games last year where the Colts scored under 21 points... 2 of them were against the Titans. Fisher knows how to play the Colts

 
As a Colts fan, I'm willing to make a sig bet with all Titans fans of this weekend's game.

I win, you put "What was I thinking when I bet and lost my sig to Pizzatyme by thinking this average Titans team could beat the World Champs"

You win, name your sig...

 
If the Colts play like they played the second half against the Saints ... they'll beat the Titans A++ game.

Did the Titans have PacMan last year in both Colts' games?

 
Fast stat...

The Colts are 7-1 in the last 8 with the Titans! The lone win for the Titans came on a 60 yard FG.

I see the cause for the optimism!

 
This game will tell me where the Colts really are more than the Saints game will. If the Colts win and look impressive this Sunday, they will be scary good this season I think.

 
One thing we know about Fisher. He will not screw around with his offense. He will run right at Indy's D. If they could do it vs. Jack, they have to believe they can do it vs. Indy. That alone should keep this game closer than most expect IMO. Still, it probably won't be enough. Tenn will need a turn over or 2. I don't think that happens.

Colts 27, Titans 20

:nerd: but I see the score as 21-17 TitansTitans will play Cover 2 and make INDY drive the length of the field. They should be able to..but they will settle for more field goals than they would like in the redzone

I don't know much about the Tenn D. I would have to bet they are better than NO. Still, NO is a NFL D and they tried to sit back in cover 2 a good amount and the Indy Oline was opening some gashing holes in the run game because of it. Do you feel Tenn has a strong enough interior to prevent this? Again, I really have no idea. If they do, then I agree Tenn can and likely will win this game.

With the addition of Simon...their middle is pretty strong. Fowler at MLB and Haynesworth is pretty formidable at DT also. They were getting alot of pressure on Garrard with only 4 pass rushersThe other thing is that they are so familiar with INDY because they play them twice a year and not much has changed in their offense in 5 years. Harper has faced Wayne and Harrison in practice for years...Simon and Thornton have faced their O-Line in practice.
 
You have to be joking to think that Fisher or the Titans have Indy's number ... If anyone has had Indy's number, it has been Jacksonville! Consistently over the last 4 years, Jacksonville has made Peyton and Co. work the hardest they have to all season. In the last 4 years against Jacksonville, Indy is 5-3. Last year Del Rio and Co. trounced the World Champions by 27 points in Week #14 ...

If the Indy team that played New Orleans shows up, then I anticipate that they will easily hold C. Brown, L. White and V. Young to under 100 yards rushing, and Tennessee has no chance of coming within 17 points of the Colts.

 
Please delete this thread immediately. We all know how these predictions go (e.g. Bet the mortgage on the Jets beating the Pats). I face Manning and Harrison next week and don't need any Ms. Cleo on crack predictions further hurting my cause.

 
The Colts will not be able to consistently stay in a Cover 2 and stop the Titans running game. Are you saying that the JAGS Run D even equals the INDY Run D this year?? The difference between the Saints running game and the Titans is that one is a finesse running attack and the other is power football

 
As ridiculous as it sounds, I am actually considering starting Brown over LJ this week (completely ridiculous, I know). The Bears held LT to 30 yards rushing and the Chargers are light years ahead of the Chiefs on offense. The only thing that will probably keep me from doing it is the fact that the Bears are horrible on offense so the Chiefs may actually hang in the game and LJ will get the carries. Brown will split with White, but you know Fischer is going to call his game. Between the 2 backs and Young, the Titans may try and run the ball 40-45 times to where down a small Indy defense and keep Manning off the field.

 
Didn't take time to read every post but when I see that kind of post........if you're serious, let's make a Sig Bet.

I'm on the Indy side. To me it's not much of a risk but then again I wasn't the one who made the initial post.

 
As a Colts fan I am very concerned about this game. As I've said before, this game, much more than the Saints game, will tell me how good the Colts really are.

I think the key stat will be the number of Titans rushing yards. If the Colts hold the Titans to under 160 yards, Colts win easily. 160 to 200 - tight game (between 3 to 10 points). 200+ - Titans win. This isn't all on the Colts rushing defense, either - the Colts offense needs to score early and often if possible to force the Titans to pass.

The Titans are going to be fired up for this one, and at home. They have the edge in the "Want to" factor this week IMO, this is a bigger game for the Titans than it is for Indy. It would shock me more to see the Titans lose by 17 or more (as one poster claimed) than it would to see the Titans pull out a close win. In the end, I think the Titans will run it down their throats, but their defense will come up short despite a decent showing. Indy 27, Titans 20.
 
How many points do you think this Tenny offense can put up on Indy? They seem to be a whole different beast with sanders protecting the secondary.

 
Colts -7

I took the points. They been playing that Manning comercial. The one where he's blowing out the Titans.

Look for the Titans to be uber upset and chugging down the "No respect" kool-aid.

 
Indy is a better team then they were last year. Tennessee will challenge them. but the Colts will win by 10 points. The Colts and Pats are the class of the NFL. Both will lose only two games this year and it won't be against Tennessee.

 
I'm curious to find out if the New Orleans secondary is really as bad as they looked last week Vs Colts.

And to see if Fisher can bring the Colts D back down to earth. Comes down to Vince being able to make some simple throws to free up things a little for Chris Brown and then pound the middle.

Edited to add that I'll take the Colts straight up, but if I gambled I would consider working Tenn into a couple parlay options. There is magic in Tennessee right now, and has been for about half a season.
