00:00Then you take a look at Indianapolis, who just like Cincinnati and Miami are hoping

00:08winning out can actually get them into the postseason.

00:12While you maybe view the Colts as the worst of that trio, Miami, Cincinnati, Indianapolis,

00:19and certainly I think many would agree, the Colts have easily the easiest path.

00:26The Colts are going to be at least a field goal favorite in all of their remaining games,

00:31including today's against Tennessee at home.

00:35Can they trust Anthony Richardson?

00:38Probably not.

00:39Can they trust Jonathan Taylor?

00:41As long as he remembers not to throw the football out of his hands before he crosses

00:45the end zone.

00:47Jonathan Taylor doing that last week kept him out of the end zone again.

00:51He only has five rushing touchdowns this season.

00:55Jonathan Taylor has been one of the most prolific scorers in this league for quite

01:00some time.

01:01So I think today, Taylor, who has now not had a rushing touchdown in six straight games,

01:07is able to bust that against a division rival in the Tennessee Titans.

01:11I'm going higher for Jonathan Taylor, half a rushing touchdown.

01:16You take two superstars on SportsMillions Pick'ems and you trust them to do what they've

01:22been doing for a very long time in what is still short careers.

01:26That's Jonathan Taylor, higher than a rushing touchdown against the Tennessee Titans, who

01:31have allowed now a number of lead backs to find the end zone in recent games as their

01:36defenses slipped off as the season has continued.

01:40And higher, Jamar Chase, the league's NFL leader in receiving touchdowns with 15 on

01:46the year, to have half of a receiving touchdown higher that number.

01:52Chase and Taylor is where we go to absolutely monster games when we talk about the AFC postseason

02:00picture.

02:01If either is upset, that could be curtains on their hopes to make the postseason.
