Indy should win their game by at least 2 touchdowns.  That's all that needs to be said about that game.


It's the KC-TEN game that is more interesting...

KC will not look past the Titans, because they understand that every game from here on out is a potential loss.  Oakland just won and improved to 5-4.  If KC loses to TEN, their stranglehold on the division disappears and they will be forced to work hard just to make the playoffs.  They'll play the Chargers twice, Oakland once, and will have to travel to do battle in Foxboro & Soldier Field.  I agree with Bullseye in that Reid understands this, and he'll come prepared to  improve on his 1-7 record vs. Tennessee as well as keep the Chief's perfect road record this year intact.

With 7 games left, the Titans are in a position no team wants to be in.  Sitting at 4-5, here is a breakdown of their opponents for their final games:

     - 4 of their last 7 games are against current division leaders
     - 6 of their last 7 games are against teams with current winning records (leaving only the Jags, who at 4-5 embarrassed the Titans once already)
     - The combined W/L record of their remaining opponents is currently 39-22 (yikes!)

Playoffs are out of the question.  A winning record is out of the question.  Finishing 8-8 would be a minor miracle.  Realistically, the most likely scenario Titans fans should be hoping for is finishing 6-10 with wins against the Jags & Bears.  With this wearing on the team, it's after this game that Tennessee comes to a reckoning with their unfortunate fate and Titans fans begin contemplating draft position.


In summary:

Dolphins @ Colts -->  Colts
Chiefs @ Titans -->  Chiefs

Last week  3-0
Overall  21-9
