Colts Slide Past Titans To Regain Title As AFC South Favorites

Colts Edge Out Titans to Reclaim Position as AFC South Favorites

Posted on November 20, 2020Last Updated on November 23, 2020

The competition in the AFC South is beginning to intensify.

Heading into NFL Week 11, both the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans have a record of 6-3.

The division battle is now strictly between Indy and Tennessee, as the 2-7 Texans and the 1-8 Jaguars are no longer in contention.

Since mid-October, the Titans were the favorites in the division, but this is no longer the case. The Colts have reclaimed their top position, raising the question of how long their reign will last.

AFC South betting odds

The Colts emerged victorious from their Week 10 showdown with the Titans. It was this win that reinstated them as the favorites in their division.

Indy may lead in the betting odds, but it’s a narrow advantage.

Across the state’s sportsbooks, the odds are quite comparable. DraftKings has slightly favored Indy as we head into Week 11.

  • Indianapolis Colts: -167
  • Tennessee Titans: +115
  • Houston Texans: +15,000
  • Jacksonville Jaguars: +150,000

Until one of these teams starts to falter, the division odds will continue to fluctuate back and forth.

This week also, neither team is getting an easy victory.

The Titans are set to take on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Meanwhile, the Colts will be battling a formidable Green Bay Packers team this Sunday.

Online sportsbooks in Indiana predict a narrow victory for the Colts in Sunday’s game. The odds essentially suggest a toss-up.

Here are the live odds for the game between Indy and the Packers:

This is a code snippet that can’t be rewritten in a standard language. It appears to be a shortcode for a WordPress plugin, possibly related to sports betting. It seems to fetch and display the moneyline odds for the game with ID 17413 from various sportsbooks (DraftKings, FanDuel, MGMBorgata, PointsBet, and UnibetNJ) in a small format. So, without context of the coding language or the platform it’s being used on, it’s impossible to rewrite.

The division could potentially be dominated by a team in the upcoming weeks, but currently, every game is crucial for them to win.

Another Colts versus Titans game

The game during Week 12 will be crucial for the Colts and Titans, as it will be their second head-to-head match in three weeks. This makes it the most significant upcoming game for both teams.

The Colts triumphed in the initial contest with a score of 34-17, however, they might face more difficulty in this subsequent match.

Both teams will have some familiarity with their opposition, as they have already played each other.

That showdown might culminate in naming a new favored team in the division. However, despite having a new favorite, the division’s leadership will remain uncertain.

We might be in the latter half of the NFL season, but both teams still have seven games remaining on their schedules.

Four of the remaining Colts games are against other teams within the AFC South. Additionally, the Titans also have three division matchups left to play.

Regardless of whether the Titans or Colts emerge victorious, the AFC South competition this year promises to be exciting. The division title is anyone’s game, and both teams are eager to secure a spot in the playoffs.
