Oct 18, 2026 at 8:30 am ET • 2 min read

The winless Tennessee Titans head north to Indianapolis to take on the Colts in Week 6 of the NFL season. It's been a dismal season for Tennessee with pressure mounting to get quarterback Cam Ward going. The Colts (2-3) come off a road loss in Pittsburgh. Kickoff for this AFC South matchup is set for 1 p.m. ET. The Colts are 7-point road favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook, and the Over/Under is 44.5. Target NFL predictions at Kalshi, where new users can get a $55 bonus with the best Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55:

Colts vs. Titans betting preview

With all due respect to Colts and Titans fans, this is a game for the sickos. Tennessee has scored the fewest points in the NFL. They average 11.6 per game -- a depressing number. This is the sort of campaign that gets people fired and puts quarterbacks on top of draft boards. 

In short, Tennessee is the exact sort of opponent the 2-3 Colts want to see coming to town. Indianapolis is a weird team. The Colts managed to hang tough with the Chiefs and blew the doors off the Commanders on the road but couldn't hang with the mediocre Steelers in Week 5. The Alec Pierce injury continues to hang over the Indy offense, but this remains a top-half attack and Indy will always have a chance as long as Jonathan Taylor remains healthy. Even with Pierce still on the shelf, Daniel Jones should feel confident this weekend. Tennessee has allowed a 74% completion rate to its opponents, the second-worst mark in the league. 

But the Titans may also have something to be excited about. Indianapolis has fielded the sixth-worst run defense in the league thus far, which could lead to some success for Tony Pollard (and Cam Ward, who leads his team in rushing touchdowns). Spend $5+ on Colts vs. Titans in Week 6 with the latest DraftKings promo code and get a $200 bonus and 3 months of NBA League Pass:

Over 44.5

While neither of these teams are particularly great, they are built to expose weaknesses in each other. Ward has been ghastly as a passer and the Titans will thus want to run, which should suit them fine against Indy. And Jones should be able to pepper the awful Tennessee secondary at will based on how the Titans have performed thus far. Don't expect tantalizing football, but the Over may be the move here. It hits in a whopping 74% of the model's simulations. Wager on NFL Week 6 games, including Colts vs. Titans, with the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS to get up to $1,500 in bonus bets:
