The Gridiron Spotlight<\/strong><\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Titans are the last unbeaten team in the NFL, and they’re coming off a 34-10 thrashing of the Chiefs in Week 7. Tennessee<\/st1:place><\/st1:state> has also paid off nicely for bettors so far this season, as they’re now 6-0 against-the-spread. The Colts are three games back of the Titans in the AFC South, as they’re 3-3 (and 2-4 ATS) in 2008. Indianapolis<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> will be looking to forget last week’s losing result – they were pounded 34-14 by the Packers.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Colts and Titans split their season series last year, with each team winning on the road. Indianapolis<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> started things off with a 22-20 victory in their first meeting; Tennessee<\/st1:place><\/st1:state> then won 16-10 in the second matchup. Both of those contests were UNDER results, and the combined scores of Colts\/Titans games have been UNDER plays six straight times. As well, the Titans have picked up the ATS win in each of the last four meetings.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Titans have been pegged as 4-point home favorites in this contest, while the total for the game is at 40.5 points. The teams are both 3-3 on the O\/U through six games.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Other Notable Events<\/strong><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Game 5 of the World Series is set for Monday night in Philadelphia<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>, with first pitch at 8:30pm ET<\/st1:time>. The Phillies will be looking for another big outing from ace Cole Hamels in this contest. The lefthander is now 4-0 in the postseason, and he picked up a win over the Rays in Game 1 by surrendering just two earned runs over seven innings pitched.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Rays will counter with Scott Kazmir, who is 1-1 with two no-decisions so far in the playoffs. Kazmir was tagged with the loss in Game 1 against the Phillies, allowing three earned runs on six hits over six innings of work; that bumped his playoff ERA up to 4.15.<\/o:p><\/p>\n
