Indianapolis Colts riding a high after Green Bay Packers win

The Colts have turned into potential AFC South title contenders under their commander-in-chief, Frank Reich. The arrival of veteran Philip Rivers has only helped solidify the Colts’ offense.

RB Jonathan Taylor and WRs Zach Pascal and T. Y. Hilton will be crucial for the home team heading into Sunday’s clash at the Lucas Oil Stadium.

But the major workload will fall on the shoulders of the Indianapolis defense. Stopping the dangerous Derrick Henry is no small task, especially considering his form in 2020.

Colts’ defensive stars Darius Leonard, Julian Blackmon, and Rock Ya-Sin are in for a busy day at the office this weekend.

Mike Vrabel-led Tennessee Titans hungry for revenge against the Colts

Ryan Tannehill led the Tennessee Titans to a comfortable 24-30 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Mike Vrabel’s boys are second in the AFC South division table after that win with a 7-3 record. They will back themselves in their crusade for redemption against the Colts following the 17-34 loss in Week 10.

Apart from Tannehill and King Henry, wide receivers Corey Davis and AJ Brown will also be causing all sorts of problems for the Colts defense on Sunday.

With the right game plan and some good fortune, the Titans should emerge at the summit of the AFC South Division at the end of Week 12.

Colts vs Titans Prediction

Indianapolis Colts 27 – 30 Tennessee Titans

Without a doubt, this clash will have lasting consequences in the AFC South title race. Both these teams are performing at a very high-level in 2020. They are both coming off some big wins against the top teams in the league.

But we reckon that the Titans will be the eventual winners in this clash. Derrick Henry looks unstoppable when it’s his day. He’s a big-game player and will prove to be the difference at the Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.
