Game Preview
The Colts won against the Buccaneers with a score of 20-27 in week 12, but they will have to manage without their star running back for a few weeks. Jonathan Taylor, who carried the ball 15 times for 91 yards and two touchdowns, sustained a thumb injury during the game. The 24-year-old underwent surgery on Wednesday and will be out of action for at least two weeks. In the meantime, Zack Moss will take over as the lead back and he has already proven himself more than capable of stepping up to the role.
After Week 6, Zack Moss was second in the NFL in rushing yards, fourth in rushing touchdowns and second in 10+ yard runs.

Why the @Colts are confident their run game won't dip with Jonathan Taylor out & Moss back in as AFC playoff race hits December: https://t.co/WZJlECNnqD
In week 12, the Titans secured a 10-17 victory over the Panthers with an impressive performance from RB Derrick Henry. The 29-year-old veteran carried the ball 18 times for 76 yards and scored two touchdowns, which marked his first double-score game of the season. However, rookie quarterback Will Levis has been inconsistent, having thrown only six touchdowns in his five games under center, with four of them coming in his week 8 debut.
Prediction
This game may not be a thrilling one to remember, but it promises to be an interesting one nonetheless. The Colts are favored to win, and their team looks stronger on paper, even without Jonathan Taylor. Although I would like to predict an upset, it seems highly unlikely, so I will stick with my prediction of a Colts victory.
