Indianapolis Colts (5-3) at Tennessee Titans (6-2)
The Titans rebounded from back to back losses with a 24-17 victory over the Bears in Week 9 and will head into this home divisional clash as slight favourites. After leading 17-0 in 3 quarters last week, the scoreline really flattered the Bears as the Titans dominated on defence and that'll be the key against Rivers and the Colts. While on offence, the question is whether the Colts D can stop Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown. Henry averaged around 5 yards per carry against them last year and has been quiet over the last few weeks. So expect the Titans to come at the Colts with their running game.
Meanwhile, the Colts collapsed in the second half last week against the Ravens as they led 10-7 but ended up losing 24-10. But like many teams this season, injuries have cruelled them especially at running back and wide receiver where they miss the likes of Mack and Hilton. However, their defence keeps them in the game as they rank 3rd in the NFL for points allowed, rushing yards allowed and passing yards allowed.
While the Titans don't have a great record against Indy, the Colts injury crisis really hurts their ability to score points and keep up with the Titans. So with the Titans on a short week at home, expect them to get the victory and take control of the AFC South.

Indianapolis has won 7 of their last 8 at this venue. The Titans have been strong at home with a 4-1 record this season.
Head to Head Record

Best Bet
Baltimore Ravens (6-2) at New England Patriots (3-5)
The 6-2 Ravens head to New England after a 24-10 victory over the Colts and hold a 4-1 record in their last 5 games. Last week, their defence was impressive in the second half as they held the Colts scoreless. While their offence took control of possession with the running game behind Lamar Jackson. Lamar dominated the Patriots last season with 3 touchdowns, including 2 on the ground so the Ravens will be looking to exploit the same matchups against the Pats mediocre run defence.
Well it wasn't pretty but the Patriots losing streak ended after a comeback victory over the winless Jets. Cam Newton engineered a last minute drive and Nick Folk nailed a 51 yard field goal to give the Patriots a much needed 30-27 victory. The pleasing sign in the win was the combination between Newton and Jakobi Meyers in the passing game (12 catches, 169 yards). However, they gave up plenty of big plays in the passing game as they really miss the injured all-pro CB Steph Gilmore. They'll also need to find a gameplan around stopping Lamar Jackson.
This should be an intriguing matchup between two of the best running QBs in the NFL and we feel like both sides can have success in the redzone with the running game. So we'll be looking for a fairly high scoring game, especially considering the Over is 5-1 when these two teams meet and they combined for 57 points in last season's meeting.
Stadium Record
Baltimore holds a 1-4 record in New England. The Patriots are 2-2 at home this season.
Head to Head Record
Since 2009, the Patriots are 6-4 against the Ravens. However, the Ravens did win the last meeting 37-20.
Best Bet
Minnesota Vikings (3-5) at Chicago Bears (5-4)
After back to back victories, the 3-5 Vikings are still a chance of playoffs and they'll need to continue the momentum this Tuesday against the struggling Bears. In both victories, Dalvin Cook has been incredible and he'll be the player to watch in this matchup. Overall, he's rushed for 5 touchdowns in the last 2 weeks after missing 3 weeks with injury and has also amassed 298 total yards. So with 4 winnable games in the next month, Minnesota should be fired up for another big game this Tuesday.
The Bears really benefited from a soft schedule in the early parts of the season because they've struggled over this 3 game losing streak. Last week, they were down 17-0 after 3 quarters and a few junk time touchdowns made the scoreboard look better than it was. Their offence is just a disaster with Nick Foles at the moment and they also can't get a running game going. Luckily, their defence is still playing well and that's the key factor in keeping up with the red-hot Vikings here.
Dalvin Cook has an ugly record against the Bears in his career with just 86 rushing yards on 34 attempts. So in a potentially ugly shootout between both Quarterbacks in Cousins and Foles, we simply like the chances of the Under saluting as defence should dominate this contest. The Under also has an awesome record when these two sides meet at 12-5 and it's also 5-1 when they meet in Chicago.
Stadium Record
Chicago has won 2 of 4 home games this season. Meanwhile, the Vikings have an awful 3-16 record in Chicago in the last 19 meetings.
Head to Head Record
The Bears have the wood over the Vikings with 4 straight wins and that includes a 16-6 victory at home last season.
