.The first local matchup of the Brian Callahan period for the Tennessee Titans figures to be a peculiar one.The Titans (1-3) lot the Indianapolis Colts (2-3) in an AFC South face-off at Nissan Stadium on Sunday (noon CT, CBS). Neither crew enters into the video game totally cleared up in its own quarterback condition, along with Titans passer Will Levis resolving a shoulder personal injury and Colts passer Anthony Richardson coping with a skew trauma. Both have actually been actually offered votes of confidence from their coaches to give back as starters when well-balanced, yet it wouldn't be a surprise to view either of the particular proficient back-ups Builder Rudolph and also Joe Flacco as both kids heal.For the Titans, Sunday is actually a possibility to produce a two-game winning touch as well as begin 1-0 in branch play. Accomplishing this will definitely indicate making use of a Colts protection that has actually strained through ultimately obtaining Callahan's passing offense to hit, along with making the most of a turnover-prone Colts offense.Here are actually The Tennessean's hunting record and predictions for Sunday's game.ESTES|Levis gets cooked like a celebrity. Can he participate in like one? Titans offense vs Colts protection: Will definitely Levis, beat control and the boom-or-bust attackTurnovers will continue to be actually the concern until there is actually reason to think or else. The Colts position No. 6 in the NFL in takeaways, paced by a league-leading 5 fumbles recouped, and also the Titans are actually still tied for last in free offers as well as position dead final in free gifts per game.But reduce the takeaways as well as the Colts' self defense has actually been just one of the category's worst via five weeks. It has made it possible for one of the most backyards per video game in the NFL as well as ranks in all-time low 10 in objectives permitted every activity (25th), lawns enabled per play (29th), surge lawns permitted per game (31st), pass lawns enabled per video game (29th), pass gardens made it possible for per try (31st), very first downs permitted per video game (31st), third-down transformation cost made it possible for (28th) as well as reddish area touchdown cost allowed (24th). The Titans' death attack has actually dissatisfied until now. Levis is going to have a lot more possibilities to expand the outburst up and down versus the Colts than he possesses previously, but the Titans have not exactly shown they're capable of benefiting from those options. There's a pathway to the Titans handling the beat with a stable dosage of Tony Pollard and also Tyjae Spears operates, but given the Colts' resist the successfully pass, recently needs to exemplify a progression for Levis and also his receivers.Advantage: TitansTitans self defense vs Indianapolis Colts offense: Do not let Joe Flacco beat youLet's not discount Flacco's potential. Think it or not, he leads the NFL in passer score this season. He's still obtained a branch at 39 years old, and also he has actually created a relationship along with receivers Alec Pierce as well as Josh Downs. However he is actually also restricted in his wheelchair and also has been actually sacked 6 times in 2 games. Mix those limitations along with the Colts' injuries up-front and also running back Jonathan Taylor being actually limited by an ankle accident as well as there need to be actually an odds for the Titans to pin their ears back and also rush.If Flacco begins, that is actually. Richardson may be back and that could possibly alter the strategic plan. Richardson and also Flacco both really love to check defenses vertically, so the stress on the Titans' securities shouldn't be actually various. However Richardson' dual-threat ability places more tension on the Titans' linebackers to stay at home and advantage defenders to have. The flip side, obviously, is actually that Richardson has been actually obstructed six opportunities to Flacco's no. Producing turn overs have not specifically been a Titans strength this time, yet Richardson's mistake-prone tendencies might offer the Titans help.Advantage: TitansTitans vs Colts wagering linePer BetMGM, the Colts are 1-point faves to win. The Colts' moneyline is -115 as well as the Titans' moneyline is actually -105. The over-under aspects amount to is actually 42.5. Outrageous Titan of the Game-- Will Definitely Levis: It is actually time for the quarterback to break out. He still might turn the sphere over one or two times, however he'll also allow it loose.Defensive Titan of the Game-- Harold Landry III: This activity is actually an excellent chance for the side rushers to produce some plays. Count on Landry to lead the charge.Surprise Titan of the Game-- Treylon Burks: Whether it's baffling to the supporters or not, the Titans always keep getting back to Burks on deep-seated gos. This time, one or two will definitely attach for a critical play.Score forecast: Titans 24, Colts 20It's challenging to place way too much religion in an unproven Titans' offense. But the Colts' self defense is having a hard time a little bit too much today. Levis as well as his colleagues appear as good as they possess with the sky because his launching and the Titans' protection produces just enough participates in to find away along with an AFC South win.Nick Suss is actually the Titans defeated writer for The Tennessean.
