The Indianapolis Colts are 0-2 after their three point loss to the Los Angeles Rams last week. The Colts defense just couldn’t slow down quarterback Matthew Stafford, as he threw for 278 yards and averaged 9.3 yards per pass attempt. A similar story occurred in Indianapolis’ Week 1 loss when quarterback Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks threw for 254 yards and four touchdown passes on 11 yards per attempt.

If history repeats itself in Week 3, Ryan Tannehill should be moving the offense against the Colts. Titans running back Derrick Henry ran for 182 yards and three touchdowns last week against Seattle, but the Tennessee offense should hinge on the efficient game manager in Tannehill to move the sticks this week.

In 2019, Tannehill averaged 9.6 yards per attempt and posted a quarterback rating of 117.5, which led the NFL in both categories. His play didn’t drop off too far in 2020, and he still looks just as steady in 2021.

Tannehill took a beating in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, getting sacked over and over again, but rebounded in Week 2 against the Seahawks. WynnBET Sportsbook expects Tannehill to have a solid game against Indianapolis according to the props set for him, 252.5 passing yards (over -115/under-115) and 1.5 touchdown passes with the over (-130) favored to the under (+100).

The Colts have allowed just one rushing touchdown in the first two games, but have allowed six touchdown passes. If the Titans want to pick up the first home win of the season, much of the offense will run through Tannehill and his receiving weapons A.J. Brown and Julio Jones.

WynnBET has Tennessee’s total points at 27.5 (over: -120/under:-110) and Tannehill will work to get the Titans total points to hit the over against their AFC South division rival.
