NFL Week 10 Preview: Titans’ revenge bid and Colts’ surprise surge

Odds and look-ahead for the weekend’s Gridiron

It’s crunch time in the NFL this weekend. There’s a chance for Mike Vrabel and co. to get revenge for their playoff exit, while it’s do-or-die time for a host of playoff hopefuls.

Ahead of the Week 10 action, we take a look at the issues around three titanic clashes – and deliver the odds…

Can unfancied Colts race to Wild Card spot?

Recent years have been pretty fallow for Indianapolis Colts fans. They’ve not managed a winning season since 2014, and last year’s 4-12 record saw Chuck Pagano get the boot.

This year started in similarly poor form. But the Colts have suddenly found their footing in recent weeks, chalking up 113 points in the last three games. They’re now 3-5, just one win off second place – with the Wild Card spots a possibility.

They’re really starting to click, seeing off the Buffalo Bills by a 32-point margin in their last home clash. So this weekend’s clash with fellow AFC South rivals Jacksonville Jaguars (also 3-5) could have come at the ideal time.

The Colts are 4/6 in the Money Line against their divisional rivals. With each of their three wins so far this season coming by a margin of 13 points or more, the IND Colts -5.0 handicap is a 27/20 shot.

Titans have their shot at Patriots revenge

Tennessee Titans made a surprise run to the playoffs last season, but came unstuck in the AFC Divisional Final. Having led early against New England Patriots, they shipped 21 unanswered points in the second quarter – eventually losing 35-14.
