\"The<\/a>
The Indianapolis Colts have won eight of their last nine games against the Tennessee Titans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Indianapolis had its two-game winning streak snapped last time out, as it suffered a 38-8 setback to the St. Louis Rams as 7.5-point home favorites in Week 10, while going OVER the betting total for the third consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Colts are 7-0 SU under head coach Chuck Pagano in games following a loss, with a 176-126 scoring margin in those wins, which is important to consider when making your NFL betting picks Thursday night.\u00a0 Indianapolis is 2-0 SUATS as a road favorite of three or fewer points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Colts have turned the ball over just 11 times in 2013, which is tied for the fourth-fewest in the NFL, while they\u2019ve been penalized just 33 times.\u00a0 Indianapolis has allowed only 29 points in the fourth quarter this season\u2014the second fewest in the league at this point.\u00a0 Since 2012, the franchise is 10-0 SU in games with 30-plus rushes, while it has captured 24 of its last 25 games since 1984 in games with three or more rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Tennessee has lost four of its last five games, including a 29-27 defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars as 11.5-point home favorites last week, while going OVER the betting total for a third consecutive affair.\u00a0 The Titans are two games behind the Colts in the AFC South division standings, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the pro football odds page.\u00a0 Backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 22 of 33 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns in last week\u2019s loss\u2014finishing with a passer rating or 111.2.\u00a0 Tennessee is 1-3 SUATS as a home underdog of three points or less since 2011, with no clear edge in terms of the betting total (2-2 Over\/Under).<\/p>\n

The Titans are looking to avoid their first four-game home losing streak since 2005, but the locker room is focused on the next seven weeks.\u00a0 \u201cRight now we just got to go forward and try to win a game,\u201d commented Titans head coach Mike Munchak.\u00a0 Tennessee has dropped eight of its last nine games in this series, as it prepares to play both games in this season series over the next three weeks.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the UNDER is 12-2 in the Colts last 14 division games over the last three seasons.<\/p>\n
