Teams that lose 5 straight ATS with a straight up loss in their last game do not lose ats in their next game... its like 24-1 or something last 25.

The colts are decimated with injuries. Just got Rhodes from the UFL on the roster. Peyton is Peyton and I hate going against him in primetime but his rookie receivers are the problem. Tipped balls get intercepted and the Titans pass coverage is not too shabby... rush defense is a different story... too bad the colts cant rush if their lives depended on it.

On the other side of the ball.. the Titans bring back Kenny Britt this week and that should help out Chris Johnson tremendously. He can and will get whatever he wants against the Colts.

Dominic Rhodes a rookie in 2001, he rushed for 1,104 yards and nine touchdowns, becoming the first undrafted free agent in NFL history to rush for more than 1,000 yards. In seven seasons with the Colts, Rhodes rushed for 2,812 yards and 25 touchdowns, including five 100-plus-yard games. With Dominic Rhodes returning to Indi, their running game should be better than the previous games.  If their running game is improved, Titans don't stand a chance against Indi, because Peyton will tear them apart.

First of all, its 2010. I do not think Rhodes is gonna have an impact on this game at all really.

Second of all, judging from the fact that basically nobody is agreeing with me I think I have a pretty good shot of winning this wager.

Hey there nbafan88 you may want to go back over the basketball forum and post your picks.  This game has the perfect storm all over it.  This is a must need win for both teams in the division and you have factored out the most important factor.........Peyton.  I know I know, he's thrown 3 picks and then 4 picks and then 4 picks...blah blah blah. 

This sounds like the post earlier this week with everyone on the Jets.....haha.  That was a joke because Brady gave them a big fuck you.  I think Peyton in the prime time gives the world a big fuck you on thursday with a 39-17 win.

Chris Johnson wants more carries now
December 8
Tennessean
 
Share Article

"Chris Johnson knows how the Titans can fix their run-game problems: Give him the ball more.

"We are just not running it," the running back said Tuesday. "It is easy for a defensive coordinator to stop the run when you are running the ball seven times. We need to stay on the field and execute plays.''

Johnson, whose preseason goal was 2,500 rushing yards, has 1,026 yards on 236 carries for an average of 4.3 per carry. Through 12 games last season he had 1,509 yards on 244 carries and a 6.2 average.

After back-to-back 100-yard games against the Dolphins and Redskins, however, the past two weeks Johnson had 58 yards on 20 carries against the Texans and Jaguars.

"Everybody is doing what they have to do. It is that everybody is not doing what they have to do on every single play,'' Johnson said. "It is always a different position messing up on each play. So we just have to execute as a whole.

"It is tough to deal with. But the frustration that comes is not the team stopping the run game, it is ourselves stopping us.''

Fullback Ahmard Hall said the offense failed to take advantage of run chances against the Jaguars.

"We are the problem,'' Hall said. "The defense is not doing anything special to stop us. We saw seven-man boxes all last game against the Jaguars, and we should have torn them up, 150 to 200 yards. But we didn't do that. Guys were letting guys come off the blocks. It takes 11 guys to make the run game go. … Everybody has to be on the same sheet of music.''

The offense hasn't scored a touchdown in 13 quarters, but tight end Bo Scaife said the way to get back on track is to get the ball to Johnson.

"He is our engine, and it seems like whenever we get him going we can breathe a little easier," Scaife said. "When we get 28 going everything will fall into place.''

Dude, they are one of the worst in the NFL ...  People are trying to be all over the Titans because its the "sharp" thing to do... If you are going to post your opinions on the game at least look up the research prior to making outlandish comments ...Anyway the Titans absolutely can win this game... This division is a crap shoot when these teams play each other...

Everyone is all over the Colts, because they NEED this one. Well, they NEEDED the last one and the one before that.This isnt a team walking through the motions and all of a sudden turn it on. They are banged up, Im not saying I'm taking the Titans, truth is, I'm still undecided, I just dont think it is as obvious as everyone is saying.If the Titans commit to the run, they should hang around. Kerry Collins is not very good, but the best medicine for that is a bad defense.

What do you mean by one of the worst in the NFL? I never said they are top 10 in the league or anything. I honestly don't put much thought into the rankings because it honestly doesn't mean much. These are professional athletes and its more about matchups but.... Tennessee is currently 23rd in passing yards allowed.

My comment was in no way "outlandish"

I don't see many colts backers actually breaking down the game... All I see is that there is no way that Peyton is gonna lose this game. There is no way he can have two bad primetime starts in a row. Peyton is probably the smartest quarterback in the league but when your team is in shambles there is only so much one guy can do.

I don't understand how this line opened under a field goal. It makes no sense to me.

In the end linemakers know more than everyone here combined and if you don't believe that then so be it. This line could've opened at 3.5 to 4 with the same.

This will only be 2.5 times my normal wager.

Thats quite the stat you open with, but don't you need to look at the current spots there respective teams are in?

The colts NEED to win. This is a playoff game for them.

The titans have appeared to have given up on their coach - and the 2010 season. What makes you think they play playoff ball this week?

Im not saying they can't win, but I definitely don't think it's looking good in their favour - based on some wierd statistic about teams losing 5 games in a row and how they play in that 6th game. Seems strange you'd (or anyone) bet large on a trend like that.

Goodluck with that!! Looking forward to the outcome!!

The colts have the best passing offense in the NFL going up against a below average pass defense... There is mis-matches all over the place... Thats why I said its outlandish

Sure, the Titans will be devising specific coverages to slow down the unstoppable trio of Blair White, Jacob Tamme, and whatever undrafted free agent they have left to take up space at tailback.

A team that lost 5 straight ATS with a SU loss of the last game covers most of the time the next game.  I won on that same trend play earlier this year with Houston +6.5 @ NYJ. 

Tennessee matches up better than the Colts.  I see a big day for Kenny Britt & Johnson.  Moss will chip in a few.  Manning has been putting extra time to work with the youngsters with their timing.  The "extra time" means less time on his film study.  Manning has been cutting short on his film study = throwing TD's to the other team.  NBA, your right, it is his young receivers that are messing him up.  They're not on the same page with Manning.  Manning wants this route but the receivers go the other way.  Also, Dallas Clark was his security blanket.  Clark is irreplacable. GL on your play.  Tennessee wins this straight up.
