Indianapolis Colts vs. Tennessee Titans (November 14 |8:25 PM ET)

Andrew Luck was caught by St. Louis last Sunday on an off night; He threw three interceptions before being replaced by Matt Hasselbeck.
Despite the loss, Indianapolis remains as the clear-cut best team in the AFC South division, which parades horrible teams like Houston and Jacksonville. The Colts closest competition is Tennessee, which they have defeated in their last three match-ups. They could add one more nail into the coffin of the Titans’ playoff hopes on Thursday with a win at LP Field.
The Colts are 3-0 ATS in their last three games in Tennessee.
Odds: Indianapolis (-3) vs. Tennessee (+3), O/U: 42.5
After stopping their three-game skid with a 28-21 win over St. Louis in Week 9, the Titans appeared to be catching a break, especially considering they had the lowly Jacksonville on their next game.

In an even gloomier development for Tennessee, the team lost Jake Locker for the rest of the season after suffering a Lisfranc injury to his right foot. Ryan Fitzpatrick will step up in lieu of Locker for the Titans’ home games against Indianapolis on Sunday.
Aside from Fitzpatrick, running back Chris Johnson will also be counted upon more by Tennessee in the aftermath of Locker’s injury. Johnson rushed for 150 yards against the Rams after the team’s bye week, but ran for only 30 yards against Jacksonville last week. Johnson is the Titans’ rushing yards leader with 60.7 a game.
