Colts have lost four straight to Mike Vrabel and the Titans.  The scheme is easy - must throw AND control the ball.  Vrabel will not let Jonathan Taylor beat him.  He will always not let the Titans beat themselves, so the Colts need to play mistake free football too!  

Ben Mathurin's debut off the bench for the Pacers was excellent, but they lost by seven to the Wizards.  One thing learned is that Mathurin is a starter.  

Indiana and Kentucky appear determined to resurrect their annual series in either 24-25 or 25-26, and that's good for college basketball - especially the Hoosiers who will enjoy hammering the Wildcats!

Matt Ryan turned it over twice in the first matchup against the Titans, and Jonathan Taylor fumbled once too.  Colts need to secure and move the ball to win in Nashville and take control of the AFC South on Sunday.  

Titans are coming off a bye, and have been dominant in that situation under Mike Vrabel, outscoring opponents 132-50 with a 4-0 record.  

Indiana Pacers ready to learn and grow in the season of change.  For now, the starting lineup is Tyrese Haliburton, Chris Duarte, Buddy Hield, Jalen Smith, and Myles Turner with Bennedict Mathurin coming off the bench.  That lineup can win games, but Turner and Hield are likely short-timers!
