I'm hyped over this game Monday can't come soon enough the Titans get a chance to showcase how legit they are for the folks that don't know. I'm expecting the Titans O-line to out match the Colts front 4 leading to the Colts getting gashed by "smash" and "dash"(i know it is corny but don't blame me I didn't coin that nickname). The Titans should cover the spread I see it ending

Tennessee 24
Indianapolis 14

No Sunday nighter, or has the game just not been decided yet?

Finally a MNF game I can look forward to watching. Even if RAW is on.

It clashes with the World Series so no Sunday night football.

That stinks...I would much rather watch an average NFL game over the World Series....

Excellent....
I still think teams can pass on the Titans, they've just had a fairly easy schedule and crappy opposing QB's.

With vanden bosch out it should make it easier for the Colts to pass....i think the key for a colts win is getting a decent lead and forcing the titans to pass....

From what I gather on the Play-by-Plays, the sole reason the Colts have a lead on the Titans right now is because of one bad punt by Craig Hentrich, otherwise the Colts O isn't doing much...

As I said in the Titans' game thread

"I think the key to this match up will be Reggie Wayne vs. Cortland Finnegan (or Vincent Fuller, if Wayne lines up in the slot as he tends to) and Dallas Clark vs. Keith Bulluck/David Thornton.

If the Titans can keep those guys covered, and pester them enough, I think the Titans will come away with this one easily."

Dallas Clark running rampant in the middle of the field (from what I can tell anyway...)

The Titans offense sucks.

I can't wait for the Packers D to pick off Collins.

Running wise, Chris Johnson is what we thought Reggie Bush (those that were level-headed anyway) would be.
A boom-bust type runner that can have days like:
1, 1, 4, 2, 3, 15, 3, 20, -5, 2, 11, -1, 2, 15 ...
and so on and so forth
