Power-rating comparison
AFC South math: Titans at Colts
Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts is a AFC South game, the first of two meetings, with the rematch in Week 15. The model has the Colts by 6 (67%) off a -0.1 to -3.4 rating gap. Division games carry weight the model does not price: head-to-head is the first tiebreaker in the AFC South, so a win here is worth more in January than the standings column shows.
The sharpest unit gap in the game runs one way: the Colts offense grades +0.9 (14th of 32) against a Titans defense at -1.4 (21st) — 2.4 points of separation on our scale, and the single biggest reason the line sits where it does. Going the other direction, the Titans offense (-2.5, 28th) meets the Colts defense (-1.7, 23rd), a 0.8-point gap.
On the standings side, AFC South games are the ones that decide the tiebreakers. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker between two teams in the same division, and division record is the next — so the value of this result is not just the win column. They meet again in Week 15, which makes a sweep the outcome with real leverage on the AFC South race.
Zoom out to the full season and the model projects the Colts at 8.6 wins (favored in 10 of 17) and the Titans at 6.8 (favored in 3) — 1.8 wins apart across the year. By win probability this is the 17th-hardest game on the Colts' schedule and the 6th-hardest on the Titans'. It is the softest spot on the Colts' entire schedule.
One team has owned this series: the Colts are 34-14 in 48 regular-season meetings since 2002. They have also met 1 time in the playoffs. They last met in 2025: Colts won 38-14 in October. Over their last 4 meetings the Colts are 4-0. Worth saying plainly — the model does not know any of that. It reads 2026 ratings and nothing else, so a lopsided series is a story, not a number on this page.
Does the model earn this number? In 448 of the 3266 walk-forward games it has been graded on (2013-2024, no market line used), it landed in the 65-70% range. Those favourites went 68%. The 67% on the Colts here sits in that same band, and the history backs it.
Kalshi has not listed KXNFLGAME-26OCT18TENIND, so there is no price on the board and no edge to quote. The model's number to hold it to: Colts 67%, Titans 33%. Applying our five-point threshold, that makes Colts contracts a buy at 62c or below and Titans contracts a buy at 28c or below — anything between is inside the noise, and we pass. Week 1's KXNFLGAME contracts opened in May 2026 and the rest of the slate lists as the season gets closer; this page picks up the price automatically when it does.
