Tennessee Titans x Indianapolis Colts – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 03/12/2023

Tennessee Titans

The Titans’ offense won’t have QB Ryan Tannehill, who hasn’t been a great player recently, but he’s still the best they have at the moment. In this game, they will have QB Will Levis as their starter in the game. To help him, the team brought in WR DeAndre Hopkins, who for some time was the best receiver in the NFL and is now on the decline in his career, but is still a good player. In addition to him, WR Trylon Burks is a great weapon for this offense. The ground game is led by RB Derrick Henry, but he has also been dropping in production recently.

The defense is an incomplete unit. They have a good defensive line, but I don’t like what they have in the secondary and I believe they will have a lot of problems there throughout this season.

Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts had a new rookie QB Anthony Richardson who deviates a little from the team’s recent essence of pocket passers. Now, with the QB injured, they turn to backup Gardner Minshew, who will play the rest of the season and is a de facto pocket passer. They have a good corps of receivers to help him, which will be great for the transition, but the offensive line issues will be a big challenge for him this season. The running game with RB Jonathan Taylor will be crucial in this match so that the Colts have a better chance of winning.​

The defense has good names, but the pass rush outside the offensive line worries me. Still, the LB group is interesting and the secondary could be a good surprise with some unknown names who have played well recently.

Conclusion

​I really like the Colts in this game. I believe QB Gardner Minshew will be successful against a Titans defense that plays mostly in zone and he tends to have success against teams that play in this scheme. RB Jonathan Taylor should also be able to increase their possession time in the match, which would be crucial to put pressure on the rookie.

I like the Colts on the handicap in this game and will go here as the best bet on the game.
