This game looks a tightish call - there isn't much between these teams and they both lost early on to the bang average Seahawks.
However, San Francisco are likely to be overbet as they are coming off their bye-week - generally an overrated factor. They have looked like classic underperformers this year and come here on a run of defeats.
Indianapolis enjoyed a confidence-boosting destruction of an admittedly shoddy Texans outfit, and weren't pushed hard at all. They have looked better than a 2-4 team at times this year, and, the Seahawks Week1 game aside, they have been exceeding expectations overall.
San Francisco are solid enough opponents while not being in any way dynamic or exciting so far, and I don't see a score fest scenario developing (there were only 27 points in their last game against the very dynamic and exciting Cardinals). However, as things stand and have gone so far, I think Indianapolis are going to be the more confident team and the team most likely to perform close to their optimum.
It wouldn't normally be the most obvious game to bet in, but I was expecting this game to be priced up with both teams in the 4/5 to Evs bracket, and Indianapolis at 7/4 or thereabouts looks too generous to pass up.
For the record, my predictor says Indianapolis Colts 24-21 San Francisco 49ers, but it must be due a shocker soon!

Any thoughts on Titans and Chiefs? It's got me stuffed how the Chiefs are so heavily favoured. I'll be on the Titans again.

Interesting one rhino. This was nearly my selection.
My stats-based model has Kansas 27-30 Tennessee, and recommends a small bet on the Titans. I went with the Colts-49ers game because I am slightly concerned at how beat up the Titans were after Monday night (affecting several key positions) and also because so much of their attack's potency is wrapped up in one - albeit frightening - weapon. Without Derrick Henry running riot, or distracting and drawing the defense's resources off, I worry that Tennessee lack much oomph. Kansas' defense has been dreadful this year - potentially poor enough for them to miss out on the post-season - but this week they basically have one job. If they make a half-decent go of that, the Titans might struggle to put enough points on the board. I wouldn't put you off though rhino, and it should be a cracking and fascinating match-up! |

Chiefs rank 27th in the league in yards given up on the ground. Have to think Henry is going to feast and he'll have to to keep Mahomes off the field. The Chiefs can win of course and I think they should be marginal fave to do so, but 1.52 I can't see. Debatable they should be that at Arrowhead let alone on the road. Titans beat a Bills team that spanked the Chiefs the week before. Game on too early for me so I'm just hoping to wake up to good news.

It may well play out like that - fingers crossed!
For the record, I'd have the Titans correct odds at 1.88, so the 2.8 or thereabouts available is definitely better value than 1.52 Kansas... |

The Chiefs over reliant on the Mahomes genius, They be lucky to make the play off's this season, the receivers hasnt had a chance, because the chiefs line of scrimmage is still hungover from the Buccs destroying them in the SUper bowl IMO.
To get smashed like this by the Titans is just showing the Chiefs have little chance of winning the superbowl. The Bengals is the most improved team from last season, chase is a superstar and burrows is coming alive |
