Indianapolis Colts

The team tied with the Titans in the AFC South is the Indianapolis Colts and they enter Week 17 with a 10-5 record and a game against the Jaguars on the schedule. The Colts have the toughest road ahead as they are the only team among the five that can’t win their way in. They would need a win or a tie as well as some help.

The Colts are one of the more well-rounded teams in this group as they are good on both sides of the ball. They have Phillip Rivers under center, who can still put up big numbers, but it is their run game that has emerged as more of a threat in the second half of the season behind rookie Jonathan Taylor.

As for their defense, they have a good defensive line, an excellent linebacker in Darius Leonard, and a solid secondary. They currently rank Top 10 in yards allowed and second against the run.
