Analyst Predicts Close Call Between Titans, Colts
The Tennessee Titans may be out of the playoff picture, but they find themselves in a big game against their AFC South rival Indianapolis Colts.
The Titans can play spoiler for the Colts, who need to win to hold onto their faint playoff hopes, by eliminating them from playoff contention in a win.
However, CBS Sports writer Pete Prisco doesn’t believe that will end up being the case. He predicts that the Colts will pull out a 24-17 win against the Titans.
“The Colts are alive in the playoff race — barely. The Titans are done and might be making a quarterback change. The Colts did some good things in losing to the Broncos last week in a game they should have won. They bounce back here. Colts take it,” Prisco writes.
The Titans are certainly an underdog considering the fact that they are on the road and have won only three games all year long.
However, we have seen how difficult it can be for divisional opponents to sweep a season series, and the Colts came away with the win when the two teams met in Nashville during Week 6.
The Titans are coming into the game with a massive chip on their shoulder and a new source of energy with Mason Rudolph taking over as the starting quarterback after Will Levis was demoted earlier in the week.
The Titans have the ingredients necessary for a win against the Colts, but they still have to execute their plan in order to leave Indy on a happy flight home to Tennessee.
The Titans and Colts are set to kickoff at 12 noon CT tomorrow inside Lucas Oil Stadium. The game can be watched on CBS or streamed on Paramount+.

Lawrence Central High School gets new head football coach
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Lawrence Central High School football program has a new head coach.
On Monday night, the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township approved Russ Mann as the Bears’ next head football coach.
Mann was most recently the head coach at Ben Davis High School, where he led the Giants to a state championship in 2023.
“My leadership style brings everyone together in the pursuit of excellence,” Mann said in a press release. “I know what winning looks like and am confident that with leadership, hard work, and tactical analyses, Lawrence Central will quickly become one of the Indiana’s most dominant football programs.”
Mann resigned from Ben Davis in November after being the Giants’ head coach for three seasons. Mann said the administration at Ben Davis told him that it wanted to move in a different direction. He went 21-14 overall during his time as Ben Davis head coach.
“Our community is ready to get Lawrence Central back to state champion status, and I have every confidence in Coach Mann to take the Bears to the next level,” Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township’s Superintendent of Schools Dr. Shawn A. Smith said in the press release. “I know firsthand that a high-quality football program develops young men, creates school unity, and positively impacts the morale of the larger school community.”
Lawrence Central High School’s most recent football head coach, Will Patterson, joined the Butler University football program’s coaching staff this past January. Patterson was Lawrence Central’s head coach for the past six seasons.
“I have known Coach Patterson for over 20 years, and I could not be more excited to have him join our staff,” Butler head coach Kevin Lynch said in a press release at the time of the announcement. “Will is a great leader and mentor and will make a positive impact on our student-athletes each and every day. He will always represent Butler University in a first-class manner, and we are thrilled to have him join our staff ahead of the 2026 season.”
Last year, the Bears finished with a 5-6 overall record, falling to Decatur Central in the sectional finals.

Spytek sets the tone in Indianapolis, Raiders’ focus is on building a strong foundation
2. The question surrounding the Raiders right now is what will they do with the No. 1 overall pick. And rightfully so.
Spytek, along with several members in the Raiders front office, traveled to South Florida in January for the CFP National Championship Game to see projected top pick Fernando Mendoza and the Indiana Hoosiers conquer the Miami Hurricanes, 27-21.
“I enjoyed watching all of them compete at that level,” Spytek said of the national title game, “and make the plays when a lot was expected of them in the biggest moments and that’s what you’re looking for. We’re looking for guys that have proven in the biggest moments they don’t blink and it was awesome all the way around.”
While many people believe Mendoza will be the team’s top choice, Spytek emphasized he’ll be doing everything to improve the roster around the quarterback position so anyone in that position, albeit a rookie or veteran, isn’t at a disadvantage. He mentioned that with the cap space the team has, they must be aggressive in free agency before making it to draft day.
“I think you want to limit the amount of pressure you have on that guy from the start. If you have a young quarterback, I’m not necessarily in favor of running him out there right away either. … And obviously, a great offensive line, a run game, all the things that can limit his chances to really get killed. And a great defense too, because if he doesn’t feel like he’s got to go out there and score 35 points every week, I think that’s helpful.”
