NFL predictions: Does Tennessee have an edge anywhere in Titans-Colts matchup?

The Tennessee Titans enter their showdown with the Indianapolis Colts with a rare opportunity to exploit a defensive weakness. The Colts rank 28th in the league in passing yards allowed, surrendering an average of 254 yards per game—more than any opponent the Titans have faced so far this season.

With quarterback Cam Ward at his most effective when operating outside conventional play-calling, Titans head coach Brian Daboll may need to abandon his usual balanced approach in favor of aggressive, high-risk schemes. Running no-huddle early, deploying read-option plays, or letting Ward improvise with bootlegs could be the key to capitalizing on Indianapolis’s porous secondary.

The question remains whether Ward, who hasn’t yet proven he can sustain prolonged success in this role, can rise to the occasion against a defense that’s clearly vulnerable in the passing game.
