Colts v Titans

In a game that could tell us alot about the future of both teams, the Colts and Titans will meet tonight in the premier game of the NFL week. The Titans have been the best team in the NFL so far, playing and winning all the games on their schedule so far. They have done it despite (or some would say because ) Vince Young getting hurt early in the season. They have won behind  strong defense and a strong running game. The 1-2 punch of Lendale While and Chris Johnson have allowed the pressure to be taken off of Kerry Collins, who has managed the games well. However, you need to look at who they played. They played Cincinnati, Houston, Baltimore and Kansas City. They also played Minnesota, who has been  a dissapointment, and that game was at home. You can only beat who you play, and theirs no doubt their a good team. 

However, the Colts, who are 3-3, have lost to teams who are better then the teams the Titans have beat. They lost in Green Bay and agaisnt a Chicago team that has surprised everyone. While there wins have been against Minnesota, Houston, and Baltimore, I still think they are a better team then there record indicates. That might be because of their previous success, but that should count for something. They have played and won more games then the Titans. And that is what tonight is. A big game. That is why I think the Colts will win. This game could tell us where both seasons are going- the Colts slowly back to the top- and the Titans back to the middle of the pack.
