The AFC South rivalry will get its new chapter on Sunday when the Colts visit the Titans. Indianapolis is the better team at the moment and won both games last year, but that does not guarantee anything. The Titans won their first game of the season, took a week off, and now are ready for the upcoming challenge.
The Tennesse Titans and the Indianapolis Colts meet on 13.10.2024, in a AFC South matchup. The game takes place at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, TN on Sunday afternoon.

Tennessee Titans – Indianapolis Colts: Initial situation
Both the Tennesse Titans and the Indianapolis Colts were banged up with key injuries in their last games. The injury report will definitely make the difference in this game as the odds are so close that no team can be labeled as favorite. The Titans are coming off their first win with the new coach and the home crowd have every reason to be excited about this game.
Tennessee Titans Stats & Form
The Tennessee Titans were signed off by many after a 0-3 start of the season, but the last game they played speak for itself. The Titans were with their backs against the wall but responded when needed and won 31-12 in Miami against the Dolphins. Things didn’t start well for the Titans who lost their starting quarterback Will Lewis with an injury. Mason Rudolph was ready for the opportunity and took over the game from the moment he stepped onto the field. He led seven scoring drives, and threw for 85 yards and completed 9 of 17 passes. Nick Folk helped the Titans with five field goals made and Brian Callahan won his first game as the Titans head coach. Now Tennessee is third in the AFC South with a 1-3 record.
Indianapolis Colts Stats & Form
The Indianapolis Colts have been through so much in the first five weeks of the season. They are second in the AFC South with a 2-3 record, and it is safe to say that every single game could have gone either way as all of them finished with a 3.2-point differential. The Colts had to bring back the time and start Joe Flacco after starting quarterback Anthony Richardson was injured. Flacco led the Colts to a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4 but his amazing performance was not enough to avoid a 37-34 loss to Jacksonville Jaguars in the last one. Flacco completed 33 of 44 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns. Right guard Will Fries broke his right leg in the third quarter and was carted off the field.
Tennessee Titans – Indianapolis Colts: Head to Head
The Indianapolis Colts lead the all-time series against the Tennessee Titans 37-21. After the Titans were on a five-game winning streak in the head-to-head matchups, the Colts won the last two last season. In Indianapolis the score was 23-16 while in Nashville, the game went to overtime for a final 31-28 Colts win. Three of the last four games have ended under the total point line.

Betting tip and prediction: Tennessee Titans – Indianapolis Colts (13.10.2024)
The Tennessee Titans have many reasons to be excited about the near future. They are coming off their bye week after giving first-year coach Brian Callahan his first NFL victory. The Titans came out strong and won 31-12 on the road against the Miami Dolphins. What makes that win even more impressive is the fact that they were without star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and lost quarterback Will Levis in the opening quarter. After they had an extra week to recover, the Titans will most likely have them both back for their game against the Colts, as Simmons was able to participate in Wednesday practice in a limited role, while Levis was a full participant and made it clear that he intends to play. The Indianapolis Colts were also hit by injuries as they played without quarterback Anthony Richardson and running back Jonathan Taylor, but unlike the Titans stars, these two will probably miss the upcoming game. The Titans defense has been their main asset despite the slow start of the team. Tennessee leads the league in total defense (243.8 yards allowed per game) and pass defense (124.0 yards per game). On the other hand, the Colts are last in total defense (419.2 yards allowed per game), second-to-last against the run (157.0 yards per game), and 29th against the pass (262.2 yards per game). Given all that, it makes sense to go with the Titans to win this one.
