I lean slightly towards Tennessee, but I can't pull the trigger. I can't seem to figure out Indy. Coming into the year, I saw a team who I thought could score some points, but attached to a defensive that would be near the bottom of the league. So I was thinking lots shootout type wins assuming Luck didnt get hit with a sophomore slump.
Then early in the season, the offense was okay, but the defense who I thought was gonna be very soft came out with guns blazing. Nothing too fancy. They were just battling in the trenches and playing good physical defense. Somewhere along the line, the offense woke up a bit, but the defense started to revert closer to where I thought they would be like.
But the last month, the defense is atrocious and for whatever reason, the offense seemed to wait 18-20 minutes into a game before it decided to show up. Weeks ago, I was under the impression that COACHING was the problem and I thought they were trying too hard early in games to be physical and enforce their run game, which was putting them in holes and then the offense woke up when Luck took over and carried the team on his arm. But watching them the last few weeks, that isn't even the problem as they do come out throwing and they still are coming out flat and against Tennessee, St. Louis, and Arizona were down big early. Only in one of those games, did Luck "wake up."
So I'm not sure what to think. You would think Indy could come out Sunday using whatever strategy they used where they dominated Tennessee in the 2nd half of the game they played just a few weeks ago, but I just don't know with this squad.
Tennessee on the other hand, is a promising young squad, but they just aren't the same without Locker in the lineup. I don't have any stats in front of me, but I believe Locker was tops or near the top in the league for a QB connecting on "big plays," and while Fitz is not a conservative backup, he isn't making the big plays like Locker.
This is a game I'm just gonna ignore and then catch the short cut on Monday or Tuesday to see what went down.

Also forgot to mention that Titans starting Safety Michael Griffin is on a one game suspension and will not be playing this Sunday. That might help out Luck with his receivers.

HIT IT LARGE WITH ZONA over these Colta sunday but Im leaning their way this week.
FITZPATRICK in my opinion is auto fade on the road in a divisional battle. Ive had the pleasure of watching him for years as a Buffalo Bill and believe me THE PLEASURE WAS WATCHING HIM GET ON A PLANE AND FLY OFF TO TENNY.
indy has the public down and I think they rebound here at home against a titan squad that typically does not do well in INDY
