Colts vs. Titans Prediction, Pick, Odds: Will Gardner Minshew, Colts Extend Win Streak on Sunday?
The Indianapolis Colts drafted and signed Anthony Richardson as their franchise quarterback this season and beyond.
However, he went down early in the season and won't return until next year. Therefore, the Colts have been forced to start Gardner Minshew at quarterback. While Minshew starting was never the plan for the Colts, he's helped Indianapolis win three straight to move the Colts past .500.
Now they'll hit the road to take on the Tennessee Titans, who have only won four games this year.
Can the Colts extend their win streak to four games?

Colts vs. Titans Prediction
The Colts were hit with some bad news earlier this week. Jonathan Taylor is dealing with a thumb injury and will miss multiple weeks due to surgery.
Luckily for the Colts, Zack Moss has been tremendous for the Colts as Indianapolis' backup. Taylor was initially out at the beginning of the season with another injury.
Moss has rushed for 672 yards on 141 carries, averaging 4.8 yards an attempt. He'll be needed against the Titans.
Tennessee has allowed over 110 yards on the ground per game. He had 23 rushes for 165 yards against the Titans earlier this season, which included two touchdowns and 7.2 yards per carry.
A performance like that isn't out of the question for Moss.
The Titans are also weak in the secondary.
Minshew and the Colts have thrown for 220 yards per game this season. The Colts don't have it the best at quarterback with Minshew. He's thrown seven interceptions and only has eight touchdowns. But he's done enough with the Colts' defense stepping up.
Indianapolis has an excellent pass defense. They've held teams to 223.73 but have a legitimate pass rush and a secondary that feeds off it. The Colts have missed a lot of tackles and aren't great against the run, allowing 129.27 yards per game.
Although Derrick Henry has fallen off a little this year, he's still added 739 yards rushing on 176 carries. However, he only added 3.3 yards per carry on 13 attempts against the Colts earlier this year.
The Colts are trending in the right direction and have the better matchups. Give me the Colts at -1.
