Thursday Night Football: Four Ways to Bet the Game

Week 10 of the NFL season kicks off with a huge battle in the AFC South Division. The 6-2 Tennessee Titans host the 5-3 Indianapolis Colts, and first place will be on the line.

This is the first of two meetings between the Colts and Titans that will take place over the next three weeks. This game will be a little bit unique, as both teams will have a short week to prepare for their opponent.

There are a number of different ways to bet on this NFL game, and each option provides a unique opportunity to win some big money. This doesn’t mean that you need to make all of these bets, but hitting all of them could lead to a big payday.

Here are four ways to bet the Thursday Night Football Game between the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts:

Make sure you read our Colts vs. Titans Preview as well to make sure you’ve covered all angles.

TNF Moneyline Pick: Tennessee Titans -130

The easiest way to bet on any NFL game is to make what is called a moneyline bet. This is a bet that is simply placed on which team will win or lose the game.

Currently, the Tennessee Titans are listed at -130 to win on Thursday night, while the Colts are listed at +110. Obviously, there would be a bigger payout for a bet on the Colts, but that doesn’t mean it is the right play.

Tennessee is coming into this game with some momentum after beating the Chicago Bears in Week 9. The Titans were also in the AFC Championship Game a season ago and look like contenders again this year.

Indianapolis suffered a 24-10 loss at home to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, and things did not go very well on either side of the ball. The Colts will be looking to regroup in a hurry, but this is a difficult matchup.

The Titans are the more complete team, and they will beat the Colts at home on Thursday night. Take the Titans at -130 with your money line bet.

TNF ATS Pick: Tennessee Titans -1.5

The next betting option is the spread bet, and the Titans are currently 1.5-point favorites over the Indianapolis Colts. This is a very small spread, and it shows how evenly matched these two teams are.

If Tennessee is going to win this game, then all they have to do is win by at least two points to cover the spread. That seems like a likely scenario, as they are at least a field goal better than the Colts, especially when playing at home.

The Titans at -1.5 is the right pick with this line.

TNF Total Pick: Under 48.5 Points

Now we turn our attention to the over/under, which is currently set at 48.5 points. At first glance, that seems like a lot of points for two teams that are above average on the defensive side of the football.

Tennessee is averaging 29 points per game, and the Colts are averaging 26 points per game. That could lead bettors to believe the score will be in the 50’s, but that’s not how this game will play out.

This will be a defensive struggle, and the Titans will chew up some clock by running the football a ton. The Colts want to throw the ball, but the Titans secondary will keep them under wraps.

Take the under 48.5 points for this game.

Halftime/Fulltime Prop: Colts/Titans +700

Finally, making an NFL prop bet is another great way to bet on this Thursday Night Football showdown. The best one to make is on which team will lead at halftime and then at the end of the game.

The best bang for your buck is picking the Indianapolis Colts to lead at halftime and then the Tennessee Titans to win it in the end. Indianapolis has been leading at halftime in each of their last two games, and they have had some huge second quarters.

Take the Colts/Titans in this bet, and it could lead to a massive payday on Thursday night.
