NFL CAPSULE: Indianapolis (6-6) at Tennessee (5-7)

Time: 5:20 p.m. today Line: Colts -3 TOTAL: 46½

TV/RADIO: NFL Network (317), KWWN (1100 AM, 98.9 FM)

■ Weather: Low 40s, 10 percent chance of rain

■ Facts: In the Titans' 23 drives since quarterback Vince Young (injured reserve) hurt his right thumb three weeks ago, they have generated only three field goals and thrown six interceptions. Veteran Kerry Collins (questionable, calf) is expected to get his second straight start. ... From opening day 2002 through Week 11 of 2010, Indy's Peyton Manning saw only five of his interceptions returned for scores. He has had four pick-6 throws the past two weeks. Tennessee, meanwhile, has had 21 scores off INTs the past nine seasons.

■ Analysis: A lot of the focus has been on the fact that Manning has thrown 11 interceptions during a three-game losing streak, but perhaps overlooked was the fact that the Cowboys couldn't get his team off the field last week. Indy, in the thick of the AFC South pennant race, had an NFL season-best four touchdown drives of 80-plus yards in its 38-35 loss in overtime. Tennessee, which hasn't scored an offensive TD since Nov. 14, won't be able to keep up in any kind of shootout, especially if Collins limps off the field again.

■ Forecast: Colts 31, Titans 14
