Off a bye week, the books think the Colts can regroup and get a win, but their early season offensive struggles has odds makers thinking this one is going right down to the wire against a Texans team that played well last week.

Tennessee Titans -3

Carolina Panthers -9.5
Total 38.5
Odds makers predicted score: Chiefs 14 Panthers 24

Odds makers have the Chiefs chalked up for a letdown on the road this week following a big win over division rival and previously unbeaten Denver. An earlier season loss at Atlanta might have something to do with this line.
