Accuscore loves the Colts big.
The Titans are on an amazing run, but not as good as the 11-0 that the Colts are on. Despite their recent success the Titans pass defense is still 31st in the league and Peyton Manning is still Peyton Manning and he is projected for 300 yards with a 60 percent chance of 2 or more passing touchdowns. The keys to the Titans upsetting the Colts is simple — force 2 or more Manning INTs and hope Chris Johnson absolutely dominates with 120+ yards and at least 1 TD. In these simulations the Titans are winning 62 percent of the time by a score of TEN 30, IND 26.
Scouts Inc says a bunch of stuff
8. Indianapolis needs to show a lot of coverages: Young is at his best when he recognizes the coverage and is able to make quick decisions and get the ball out of his hands quickly. The more the Colts are able to force Young to question what he is seeing, the longer he will be forced to hold on to the ball. Pressuring the pocket won’t be enough, on its own, and the Colts will need to try and confuse Young as he goes through his progressions.
9. Look for the Colts to do everything possible to keep Young in the pocket: Young is most dangerous when he is able to extend the pocket or when he gets flushed outside the pocket and has the option to throw the ball or tuck it away and run for positive yards. Indianapolis’ edge rushers, Robert Mathis and Freeney, are at their best when they can pin their ears back and rush the pocket but they will need to keep Young contained as they work their way upfield.
