The Titans are coming off a 27-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4. It was their second win of the season, and their first win on the road.

Titan’s Inconsistent Offense 

The Titans’ offense has been inconsistent this season. They are ranked 23rd in the NFL in total yards per game (334.3) and 19th in points per game (19.3). However, they showed some signs of improvement in Week 4, scoring 27 points against a tough Bengals defense.

Titans Rank 12th in NFL for Defense

Meanwhile, the Titans’ defense has been better this season. They are also ranked 12th in the NFL in total yards allowed per game (340.8) and 11th in points allowed per game (21.3). In addition, in Week 4, they held the Bengals to just 226 total yards and 3 points.

Yet, the Titans will need to continue to improve their offense if they want to win this game. They will also need to put pressure on Colts quarterback Matt Ryan and force him into mistakes.

Furthermore, the Colts are coming off a 29-23 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in overtime in Week 4. All in all, it was their third loss of the season and their second loss at home.

Overall, the Colts’ offense has been their biggest problem this season. Meanwhile, they are ranked 29th in the NFL in total yards per game (313.0) and 28th in points per game (16.3). In the end, Ryan has struggled, throwing for just 998 yards and five touchdowns in four games. Meanwhile, he has also thrown six interceptions.

Colt’s Defense is Mediocre 

In addition, the Colts’ defense has been better, but they are not without their flaws. They are ranked 20th in the NFL in total yards allowed per game (358.8) and 21st in points allowed per game (22.3).

The Colts will need to improve their offense if they want to win this game. They will also need to get pressure on Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill and force him into mistakes.

How Can Titans Win 

The key to the game for the Titans will be to continue to improve their offense. They need to get Tannehill going, and they need to get their running game going. They also need to protect Tannehill from the Colts’ pass rush.

How Can Colts Win

Titans vs. Colts Sunday Prediction

Both of these teams are struggling, but the Colts are the better team on paper. They have a better defense, and they have a better offense. I predict that the Colts will win this game, but it will be a close one.

Final Score: Colts 24, Titans 20

Titans vs. Colts Analysis 

The Titans and Colts are two of the most storied franchises in the NFL. However, both teams are at a crossroads. The Titans are trying to find their identity after the departure of A.J. Brown, and the Colts are trying to find their identity after the departure of Carson Wentz.

The Titans have a number of young talented players on offense, including Tannehill, wide receiver Treylon Burks, and running back Derrick Henry. However, they have also been plagued by injuries this season.

The Colts have a number of young talented players on defense, including defensive end Kwity Paye, linebacker Darius Leonard, and cornerback Kenny Moore II. However, their offense has been struggling this season.

This game should be a close one. The Titans have the potential to win if they can get their offense going. However, the Colts are the better team on paper, and they should be able to win this game at home.
