Advice and prediction

Colts: Anthony Richardson over 213.5 passing yards (-115)

One of the pleasant surprises to this young season has been the development of Richardson as a passer. He doesn’t look overwhelmed in the slightest and while he’s known for his elite athleticism and rushing ability, Richardson has been more than serviceable as a passer. The rookie may have missed this mark in Week 4 when he threw for 200 passing yards, but he had 223 in Week 1 and was on his way to matching that again Week 2 before a concussion knocked him out for the final three quarters of the game. Meanwhile, the Titans are allowing 266 passing yards per game, the ninth-most in the NFL. Two quarterbacks who have faced the Titans this season have surpassed 300 passing yards while Deshaun Watson recorded 289 yards in another game. This is a good spot for Richardson to be in to put up some passing yardage.

Prediction: Colts 21, Titans 20
