Which Games Will the Indianapolis Colts Win to Close the Season?
By Luke Allen
The Indianapolis Colts have won four straight games since starting 1-5, and just like that are two games behind the division leading Houston Texans. The final six games will make or break the Colts season.
The Indianapolis Colts are 5-5, second in the AFC South and are on the outside of the playoffs looking in. The final six games are without saying the most important games of the season for Indianapolis.
Here is our game-by-game prediction of how the Colts close the season:
Week 12: vs Miami Dolphins (5-5)
The Dolphins are facing a must-win game for their playoff hopes. The Colts are playing a must-win game for their playoff hopes. This will feel like a playoff game for the two teams – they are fighting for their seasons. The Colts opened up as 10-point home favorites, so Vegas likes Indy’s chances. And so do I.
We are not sure who will be under center for Miami, as Ryan Tannehill could possibly return from injury. Although his backup Brock Osweiler has played well, I believe Miami would prefer Tannehill on Sunday, and if there is any chance he can play, they will put him out there. Miami started out 3-0, but have lost five of their last seven games, including failing to score an offensive touchdown since October 25th. Yeah, that is awful.
Colts 32, Dolphins 14. (6-5)
