(NFL) Tennessee vs. Indianapolis,
Point Spread: 7.50 | -111.00 Tennessee (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* AFC SOUTH ART OF WAR on the Tennessee Titans.

Indianapolis started the year 0-2, but QB Andrew Luck put together arguably the best outing of his career in a 44-17 win over Jacksonville last week, he matched a career-high with four TD's to go along with 370 yards to help his team avoid the dreaded 0-3 hole. Luck has been helped with a strong run game, the Colts have totaled 313 yards on the ground thus far. Conversely, Tennessee looked shell shocked in last week's 33-7 loss in Cincinnati on Sunday, but note that the club had heard about former kicker Rob Bironas' death just a few hours before hand. That said, after a nice 26-10 win over Kansas City to open the year, the Titans have been outscored 59-17 in back-to-back defeats. Last week though it was clear that the team was collectively thinking about other things, it committed 11 penalties for 99 yards (note that Tennessee has been flagged 28 times in total this year for 239 yards). QB Jake Locker will be a game time decision, he hurt his wrist last week: "It was encouraging that we got to see Jake to a little bit, but that's what we anticipated," coach Whisenhunt said mid week. "Hopefully, it will progress more, and we'll see what we can do tomorrow and that will determine a lot." If Locker can't go, it's next man up in Charlie Whitehurst or sixth round pick Zach Mettenberger. The Titans know they are in tough, but if history is any precedence, the defense has to be liking its chances for a bounceback performance here, Luck has topped 240 yards in just one of his four career starts against Tennessee and has four INT's to two TD's in those matchups. Note that the Titans are 6-2 ATS in their last eight after two or more consecutive SU losses, while Indianapolis is just 4-6 ATS in its last ten off a win vs. a division rival. This is a pivotal division matchup, Tennessee's season is basically on the line here, I think the visitors come to play and keep it close enough to at the very least sneak in through the back door down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover; play on the TITANS.
