Sunday’s 1:00 PM ET game between the Tennessee Titans (7-6) and the Indianapolis Colts (0-13) is apparently easy to bet on for a lot of people.
The Titans are currently 6.5-point favorites and bet-tracking websites show that close to 75% of wagers are coming in on Tennessee to cover that line.
The opening odds have the road-team Titans favored by just 3, and I’m already seeing some 7’s pop up.
The total of 41 has not seen the same type of movement.
The Colts are still looking for their first win of the year, and they’ve been a horrible bet this season.
Indianapolis has covered the point spread in just 4 of their 13 games, although it is worth pointing out that they have been wagering winners in 2 straight games heading into Sunday’s showdown.
The Colts have gone under the total in 5 of their previous 6 games this season and have covered the point spread just once all year when playing at home.
The Titans have won 3 of their last 5 but they’ve managed to cover the spread in 4 of those games.
Tennessee has gone under the total in 7 straight games despite their last 4 having 39 or more combined points scored each.
The Titans are 3-3 on the road, while the Colts are 0-6 at home this year.
These AFC South rivals meet up at least twice every year and the Titans were 27-10 winners as 9-point favorites earlier this year.
The Titans have actually covered the point spread in 3 straight against the Colts despite losing 5 in a row previous to their victory earlier this year.
The under has been a winner in 5 of the 6 most recent head-to-head meetings between these teams.
