Dominion over the AFC South is up for grabs tonight as the Tennessee Titans face off against the Indianapolis Colts.
Can the Titans secure their rank with a Week 11 Thursday Night Football win?
The Titans and Colts clash in the AFC South
Tennessee claimed the title of AFC South leader last week after winning 24-17 to the Chicago Bears. The Colts, on the other hand, dropped a spot after a 24-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Titans were originally one-point favorites going into tonight’s game, though the gap has since pivoted. DraftKings now has the team positioned as one-point underdogs.

Tennessee looks to extend their division domination
Tennessee is experiencing its best season start since 2008, the last time it claimed the AFC South title.
The Titans are currently ranked 4th in the AFC behind the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.
Overall NFL rankings have Tennessee as the 8th seed.
The Titans have the 7th-best scoring record in the league, averaging 29 points per game.
Meanwhile, the Colts are 15th in the league, logging around 26 points per game.
The Titans rank last in the NFL on 3rd down defense. Luckily, this season’s Colts aren’t especially equipped on offense.
Tennessee will have a two-game lead over the division if the team manages a Thursday night victory.
Titans-Colts betting percentages
Current FanDuel trends suggest strong faith in Tennessee clinching the win. 85% of the book’s spread bets favor the Titans.
This is a substantial jump from last week, where 51% of spread bets and only 34% of moneyline bets endorsed the team.
This week’s trends more closely resemble Week 8. Roughly 81% of FanDuel’s moneyline bets were placed on the Titans, despite the team’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Hopefully tonight’s outcome will prove better.
