Implied Totals
IND – 24.75
TEN – 23.75
O/U – 48.5
Key Injuries
Jack Doyle will miss due to a concussion. Mo Allie-Cox (who is questionable but expected to play) and Trey Burton will run a few extra routes to pick up the slack. T.Y. Hilton will return as well, which would potentially relegate Marcus Johnson to the bench.
The only injury worth noting for the Titans is Adam Humphries, who has already been ruled out. Kalif Raymond will likely play in the slot in Humphries’ absence.
Pace and Play Calling
This game projects to be one of the best paced games on the slate. TEN comes in at around 24 seconds per snap, while IND isn’t too far behind at 27 seconds when adjusted for neutral game scripts. TEN has the third-most plays per game run against them this year, which makes this a true pace-up spot for IND.
The Titans rank seventh in neutral run rate, despite not being nearly as efficient as they were in 2019. The Colts are also an abysmal matchup for what TEN wants to do, which could incite some additional opportunities for the former’s electric play-action passing attack. IND has a 44% neutral run rate of their own.
Derrick Henry will likely be the highest-owned player and the most commonly rostered captain. Based on that and the projected pace, it makes sense in GPPs to onslaught the Titans passing game and jam in Jonathan Taylor.
