Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts rebounded last week from their first loss of the season and thrashed the Philadelphia Eagles 45-21. The Titans have won two games in a row and might be riding a wave of emotion after their unbelievable comeback win last week against the Giants.

Look for the Colts to run the ball at the start of the game. Joseph Addai (789 yards rushing) and Dominic Rhodes (482 yards rushing) should have no problem racking up yards against the porous Titans run defense. The Titans are allowing 147.7 yards rushing per game and 4.6 yards per carry. Peyton Manning will take his shots down the field against the Titans defense that is allowing 220.1 net yards passing per game. Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne could both have huge games this week.

The Titans rushed for 214 yards as a team the last time the Colts and Titans hooked up. Look for the Titans to have a similar gameplan this week. The Colts allow 154.5 yards rushing per game and 4.9 yards per carry, so Travis Henry (756 yards rushing) and Vince Young (295 yards rushing) could each have big days as the Titans try to play keep away from the Colts offense.

I think this game will be a close one like the first one these two played (Colts won 14-13). I have to side with the Colts, because Manning should have a good game.
