Indianapolis (-3) over TENNESSEE
Both of these teams are coming off miserable losses (the Colts lost by 30 to St. Louis and the Titans lost by anything to Jacksonville). Both have been hit hard by injuries (see Reggie Wayne and Jake Locker). And both are struggling (to put it very mildly) to do anything approaching running the ball (Trent Richardson is averaging 2.8 yards per carry and Chris Johnson averages 3.6 ypc).
So this game comes down to Andrew Luck versus the Titans defense and Ryan Fitzpatrick against the Colts defense. Without their running game to play keep away from Luck, I just don't see the Titans hanging in there for 60 minutes. Eventually Fitzpatrick will have to make some plays, and he won't be up to the task.
