Since when do the Titans have an over powering offense? They've scored 13 and 20 in points in their two games. They have a couple mid-level running backs, a dynamic (but overrated) quarterback who still struggles passing and an utter lack of quality WRs or catching TEs. Young is only averaging 5.82 yards/attempts, and only has one passing TD in two games. 33 points in two games is not overpowering by anyone's standards.

I know, and beg to differ. The Colts are one of the best home teams in the league, but have struggled on the road. Last year they were only 4-4 on the road, including losing to all three division opponents (like the Texans). Their biggest road win was 12 points (the Superbowl), and their average road win the past two years is less than TD. Factor in that the Texans are better than the team that beat the Colts last year (even without Andre Johnson, the additions of Ahman Green and Matt Schaub, namely, more than make up for that) and that I don't believe the Colts are as good as last year. Not to mention Matt Schaub's QB rating almost 10 points higher than Manning's atm. Or that Indianapolis is allowing more than 100 more rushing yards/game.
