Colts vs. Titans: NFL experts make Week 4 picks

The Indianapolis Colts (1-1-1) are hosting the Tennessee Titans (1-2) at Lucas Oil Stadium for a Week 4 matchup.

While the Colts are favored at home by 3.5 points, according to Tipico Sportsbook, many are expecting a close battle between these two teams for the first time this season.

Here’s how the experts around the league see the divisional game shaking out:

Expert Pick Score (if applicable) Colts cover?
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) Titans 24-23 No
Jarrett Bell (USA TODAY) Titans 26-22 No
Vic Tafur (The Athletic) Colts Yes
Mike Clay (ESPN) Colts
Dan Graziano (ESPN) Titans
Gregg Rosenthal (NFL Network) Titans 20-14 No
Bill Bender (Sporting News) Titans 27-24 No
Pete Prisco (CBS Sports) Colts 26-20 Yes
Mike Moraitis (Titans Wire) Titans 23-20 No
Jess Root (Sportsbook Wire) Titans No
Cam DaSilva (Sportsbook Wire) Colts Yes
Bleacher Report Colts 23-21 No

Over at Tallysight, 57% of the analysts are choosing the Colts to win the game, but 60% are siding with the Titans to cover the 3.5-point spread.

This should be a tightly contested matchup. While the Colts match up well with their strong run defense against Derrick Henry, their own offensive line issues will make this game close.

The Colts may also be without defensive tackle DeForest Buckner due to an elbow injury, and it was a disaster the last time he missed a game against the Titans.

This game will have both immediate and future implications within the division. If the Colts win and the Jacksonville Jaguars lose, they take sole possession of first place. If the Titans win and the Jaguars lose, Tennessee will be tied for the division lead.

Expect a physical and potentially even ugly matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium as both teams look to get back on track following slow starts to the season.
