The Indianapolis Colts (6-5) will attempt to extend their three-game win streak as they travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans (4-7). 

With the game approaching, I have three predictions for the team's Week 13 matchup. 

Defensive Prediction: 

The Colts will have 5+ sacks

The Titans haven't allowed five or more sacks since Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens when they allowed six. The Colts only had a single sack in their first matchup with the Titans, and it's an area the team has to improve on this time around. The Colts defensive line is playing its best football of the season as of late. They have had five or more sacks in each of their last two games and have combined for 15 sacks over their previous three. I expect the Colts defensive line to take over this game and finish the game with five or more sacks. 

Offensive Prediction: 

Michael Pittman Jr. will have 100+ yards and a touchdown 

During the Colts last matchup with the Titans, the Titans were able to corral Michael Pittman Jr. to five receptions for only 57 yards. Same as above, I think this is an area that the Colts will attempt to fix this time around by getting their star wide receiver the ball early and often. I think it will result in a big day for Pittman Jr., as I'm predicting he leaves Week 13 with over 100 yards receiving and will find the endzone at least once. 

Score Prediction: 

Colts 27 – Titans 17

The Colts are on a three-game win streak and currently find themselves in the AFC playoff picture as the last team in as the 7th seed. A win this week would complete the season sweep of a Titans team that has had the Colts number in recent years. This time, the Titans will be starting rookie QB Will Levis instead of Ryan Tannehill, and the Colts will be without rookie QB Anthony Richardson after he was injured during the first matchup between the two teams. Minshew helped the Colts pull out a 23-16 win over the Titans in Week 5, and I believe he will do it again this week as I have the Colts winning 27-17.
