Colts/Titans Under 40.5 (POD)

Note that 53% of the public is on the home team here in the Titans here and the line has jumped up from the opening. What a year for Peyton Manning and the Colts huh? He has thrown 8 touchdowns and 7 interceptions this year which is uncharacteristic for him. The Colts remember lost to the Titans last year 16-10 at home. That was a huge game for the Titans as they won on the road at Indy. That was actually a revenge game as the Colts actually won 22-20 on the road at Tennessee before that. You want to know what is amazing about these Titans? It's the fact that this team has a quarterback in Collins who has thrown under 900 yards for the year, has thrown for just 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions and yet this team still finds itself 6-0. Heck, this team has quietly done it with fabulous defense and opportunistic offensive success. I would love to take the Titans here, but keep in mind the Colts come off an ugly 20 point beating at the hands of the Packers on the road. They are therefore on a bounce-back. The Titans of course have covered all 6 games this year. They come off an impressive 34-10 win at KC. But, the question begs, do you really want to go against the Colts on a big bounce-back? Plus, the Colts have revenge from last year's latest loss at their dome to the Titans. Remember, the Titans last two home games as well and of course, it is MNF so the crowd will be gonig nuts. The Titans won their last two games by scores of 30-17 over the Vikings and 31-12 over Houston. This begs the question of the total since the side seems unappealing. The public by a 2:1 margni favor the over here and yet the line seems unwilling to go up. In fact, it has gone down. In fact, you ready for this? The last 6 times these two teams have played the total has gone under. Thus, that will be my play for today. The under is 4-0 for the Colts after allowing 30 points or more in their previous game as their defense rebounds well and the under is 6-0 the last six times these two teams have hooked up as the research indiciates.
