Colts need the following to make playoffs

[Mr_Mark]

why does the Steelers/Browns game matter?

Strength of opponent I suppose. Colts lost to Steelers so Steelers winning is part of tiebreaker.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

Texans will win the division for the 3rd time in 5 years. They'll win it using a 4th and 5th string QB. There's always next year Vlad!

Spoken like a Texans fan. I hope 1 day the Colts can dominate the division like the mighty Texans have. Haha

1 game down....9 to go

Hahaha don't you know the Patriots are just stringing you along they called and told the Bengals to fumble it so you could go to bed

I figured out how the saints can make the playoffs.
NFL finds out Cam Newton has been putting too much air in the footballs forcing the Panthers to Vacate all their wins.
Matt Ryan gets caught using Saints players on his draft kings team when playing against the saints.
Winston gets caught on Bourban Street on video sneaking behind the bar at Pat Obrians getting free hurricane refills

Colts going with undrafted 4th string quarterback Stephen Morris in week 17. He has had all of 2 practices with the team after being signed from the Eagles practice squad. This is his 1 chance to get on a team for next season. Maybe a Matt Flynn like performance

Out of the 10 things Vlad, how many do you realistically see happening?

5 or 6 maybe?....

Probably 6 counting last night's game. Highly doubtful Texans lose at home to Jags. This is really the Texans only legit year of winning the division even though Luck has missed half the year and they may still only eek it out. Doubtful Dolphins win. Unlikely Bills and Raiders beat 2 teams that need to win.

Basically all of the key games kick at 1 PM too. All except for 2.

Don't be surprised if the Bills beat the Jets

Watch 8 of the 9 happen and the Colts lose to the team with the #1 pick; the Titans. If you didn't think the O line was an issue, look no farther than who is the starting quarterback. A guy that was a practice squad player a week ago. Colts only have 2 NFL starters on their line

I don't think that there is any fight left in that dog.

This would remind me of that time LSU won the national title in 2007.
LSU had to have like 7 or games go a perfect way for them to play for the national championship and all 7 games all upsets went exactly LSUs way. LSU jumped from #8 to 2 in one week. Because of all the crazy games from the week before .

The craziest game of all was the last game of all those games when Pitt defeated then #1 or #2 WVU when WVU was a 32 point favorite.
I believe that is still to this day the largest spread favorite to lose a game outright ever.

Who would have ever thought that the outcome of a saints Falcons game could determine a division winner in the AFC?

 

[youngman]

like lottery, long odds.

 

[CHOPTALK]

I honestly have no idea why the saints / Falcons game has anything to do with who wins the AFC south.

Both the Texans and Colts played both the Falcons and Saints so schedule strength should have nothing to do with it because both teams played both teams.

Well, all we heard year long was how the Colts would easily win the division and make the playoffs. Damn, looks like a team on it's 4th and 5th string QB will win it.

The Texans aren't good, so that makes the Colts extra shitty.

Strength of victory I would guess. Colts beat Falcolns and lost to Saints. Texans lost to Falcons and beat the Saints. So therefor better for the Colts for Falcons to beat Saints
