Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts 8:15 PM ET
Indianapolis Colts +4.5 -110
**This is a late addition due to player updates.** This is probably the biggest over-reaction of the week. The line adjustment is absurd as Indianapolis should not be getting this many points at home no matter the situation or who may be playing. Tennessee must win to get into the playoffs. So what does that mean? The Titans are actually going to do so and do it by more than a touchdown? Sure it can happen but these ?must win? games are the best to go against since the line value is enormous.
The player update I am referring to is that of Marvin Harrison for the Colts. He will be starting for Indianapolis, his first game after missing the last nine weeks. What this mean for Colts is not just getting a playmaker back into the lineup but also the fact that Peyton Manning will get more playing time than usual. Head coach Tony Dungy stated that Manning would remain in the game longer than usual. Getting timing back in game-time situations is very important heading into the playoffs.
Tennessee needs to win but the way it has been playing, winning is a stretch. The Titans have won two straight games but those came against the Jets and Chiefs, a combined 7-23 on the season. They are a solid 6-2 against teams that are ranked in the bottom half of the league but are a disappointing 1-3 against teams ranked in the top 10. Yes, Indianapolis will not be the same Indianapolis we are used to but the fact remains that the Titans are not very good right now and are completely overvalued. Play Indianapolis Colts 2 Units
