Colts vs Titans Week 8 Preview of NFL Betting
The story of the game in this months contest between the Baltimore Colts (0 – 7) and the Tennessee Titans (3 – 3) is one of a struggling team vs a struggling player. The Colts, who have been an NFL power considering that the emergence of quarterback Payton Manning and they are 0 – 7 this year without him. The Titans have a star running back who is averaging just under 45 yards per game.
The Colts have struggled to replace Manning who has missed the entire year so far. Kerry Collins was signed as a temporary replacement, but he was hurt. That turned the offense over to Curtis Painter and they have struggled. However, the defense of the Colts has also not lived up to expectations and they are ranked 30th in the NFL by giving up 416 yards per game.
The Colts haven’t been able to rack up a win yet this year, but the loss last week was particularly harsh. They were defeated by the New Orleans Saints by a score of 62-7. Indianapolis may have to focus on producing a strong running game in an attempt to turn their luck around.
Titan running back Chris Johnson was late to camp this year due to a hold out. Even though he did sign early enough to play in the first game, he has been far less efficient this year and only had 18 yards in last months 41 – 7 loss to Houston.
Despite booing from the fans, head coach Mike Munchak has been quick to point out that the running game isn’t always about the running back. “It takes 10 other guys” to efficiently be able to run the ball. They are hoping their running game will regain the stature of their past with two of their next three games against teams that haven’t fared well against the run this year.
