Colts by 7-10

Keys to this one:

1) Go to CJ early and often. Yeah, he was awful finding the holes last match-up, but he only got nine carries. Give him the ball and eventually he'll break one. I mean, Chris Brown and Steve Slaton had decent days against the Colts defense and Johnson is miles better than them.
2) Convert in the red zone. If you look at the stats, the Titans dominated last week according to yardage. Why only 20 points? Missed opportunities which forced field goals from Rob Bironas. And at the end of the first half, Vince tried to make something happen and ended up running out the clock while the Titans still had a timeout. Make the red zone trips count with touchdowns instead of field goals, and make Manning play from behind.
3) Get pressure on that 6'5", rocket, laser armed quarterback. The defensive line has been disrupting more plays lately and they will need to get into Manning's face a few times to help out the bad (but better than last match-up) secondary. Cortland Finnegan is thankfully healthy for this one, and as much as I hate Nick Harper, he is still an improvement over the rookie corners Jason McCourty and Ryan Mouton.

Like I said before, this game right here is Tennessee's season. I think it's going to be a great one, and I have the Titans winning by 3, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Colts win by the same margin.

As bad as our Run D can be..... it can be noted that we were missing two ends last sunday . (Dawson and Freeney) Both are probable to return this week

Kelvin Heyden is likely to be back also .

I did realize that, yes. If he can read his blocks though - unlike last match-up - he should go over 100 with the amount of carries he SHOULD get.

I can't wait for this one.

Colts move onto 12-0, Upsets the hope for the Titans fans.

Colts signed Shane Boyd today . He's a scrambling QB .... guess it's to practice for VY :shifty:

 

[Archer]

Forgot about this

The Colts will tie the NFLs longest regular season win streak with a win on Sunday . The record is currently at 21 (Pats)

And once you cut him, we'll pick him up. :shifty:

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. The Titans are getting overhyped because of how bad they started. They haven't beaten anybody. The five teams they've beaten are either currently sitting at under .500 and/or they were missing their starting QB. Going 5-0 against the Texans/Jags/Bills/Warner-less Cardinals/49ers isn't really anything to get amped about.

I'm scared to death of CJ but other than that I'm not really impressed with what the Titans have done. It's by no means a lock since divisional games are always tough, but the Colts are more than capable of doing the same thing they did to the Titans last time.

The Titians have one of the worst pass D's in the league, they are ranked 31st vs. the pass and 25th overall. Other then Haynesworth they have no one to rush the passer. Manning is having an insane year and the Colts are at Home. Jeff Fisher even knows they are going to lose, he's no chump he jumped on the Colts bandwagon months ago.

I don't think Tenn. has a chance in hell.

Not like Colts 20th ranked Pass D is shutting anyone down either. So McNair to Mason should be good for some yards and a couple of TDs. Plus the Colts can't run the ball. I guess that's where Haynesworth will really make a difference.

even if theres a chance the Colts lose this game, it really wont matter. Theyll still be in the drivers seat in the division.

one teams winning streak ends and that will be the titans

my point being- and I thought you were supposed to be intelligent enough to read between the lines ? - we will see whats more important in the fourth qtr if the game is close. A winning streak or staying alive for next week. The Titans wont be threat whether they make playoffs or not.

That was your point. And they stole the division's car, cause they already clinched.
