Led by Daniel Jones, the Colts’ offense<\/a> is rolling right now. Entering Week 3, the Colts rank fourth in points per game and are second in yards per play.<\/p>\n

As you can guess, Jones is near the top of many key quarterback stats, but also playing major roles are Jonathan Taylor, who leads the league in rushing, and Tyler Warren<\/a>, who ranks first among tight ends in receiving yards.<\/p>\n

The defense had a dominant showing in Week 1, and to their credit, came up with timely stops late against Denver to give the offense a chance.<\/p>\n

The Titans will enter this game 0-2 after losses to Denver and the LA Rams. \u00a0No. 1 pick Cam Ward has completed 51% of his passes for 287 yards with one touchdown.<\/p>\n

Tennessee’s offense ranks 30th<\/a> in scoring and their defense ranks 23rd in that category.<\/p>\n

The Colts are the road favorites<\/a> in this game, but who do the NFL experts have winning this one?<\/p>\n

ESPN<\/p>\n

A clean sweep. All eight of ESPN’s<\/a> analysts are picking the Colts to beat the Titans.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report<\/p>\n

Of Bleacher Report’s seven analysts, there is one who is picking the Titans in this game. Brent Sobleski, however, is taking the Colts. Here’s why<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Ward is going to make mistakes because he won’t be able to trust his eyes,” Sobleski wrote. “Meanwhile, Jones and Co. might not play as well, but the offense has more than enough firepower to push Indy toward a 3-0 start.”<\/p>\n

Pro Football Talk<\/p>\n

Mike Florio<\/a> picks the Titans to upset the Colts, winning 17-16. Chris Simms is taking the Colts to win by 11.<\/p>\n

“The Titans are better than 0-2. The Colts are lucky to be 2-0,” wrote Florio.<\/p>\n

NFL.com<\/p>\n

Another sweep. All five NFL.com analysts are taking the Colts. Here is why Tom Blair<\/a> is making that pick:<\/p>\n

“I’m just not sure the Titans can get within reaching distance of the Colts in the first place, thanks in part to a\u00a0banged-up line<\/a>\u00a0that has already been party to\u00a0a league-high 11 sacks<\/a>\u00a0for the rookie,” wrote Blair.<\/p>\n

CBS Sports<\/p>\n

Pete Prisco <\/a>is picking the Colts to win by a full two touchdowns in a 30-16 victory.<\/p>\n

“This will be the first road game for the 2-0 Colts, who have been so good on offense they have yet to punt,” wrote Prisco.\u00a0“Daniel Jones<\/a>\u00a0has really played well. The Titans didn’t look good on defense against the\u00a0Rams<\/a>\u00a0last week and have generated little offense. Look for the Colts to keep rolling.”<\/p>\n
