The Colts vs. The Broncos ...... The Game of the Year (To Date)

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Colts are 6-7.

The Broncos are 8-5.

The winner of this game not only owns the head-on tiebreaker between them, but the Colts will also own a 3-way tiebreaker should the Colts, the Broncos, and the Ravens all finish the season with identical records of either 10-7 or 9-8.

The Colts also have a modest chance to win the AFC South should they run the table, and finish the season with a record of 10-7.

If the Colts lose this game and fall to 6-8 (which would include losing the aforementioned tie-breakers), they may as well start planning for next season ...... it's all on the line with this game, just as it was against the Patriots this past Sunday.

We have a much easier schedule. Colts win in Denver and they're in, in my opinion.

Since the retirement of Andrew Luck, the Colts have been one of the most unpredictable teams in the NFL with the exception of 2020 season when they had Philip Rivers at quarterback ...... the Colts are very capable of going 3-0 in their last 3 games after the Broncos contest ...... and they are also very capable of going 0-3 in their last 3 games after the Broncos contest.

Uh, the Colts have not been in the AFC East in years.

Thanks, I'll fix it ....... but it would be a hell of a story if the Colts became the first team ever to win a division in which they did not play in.

What Bo Nix and Sean Payton will do to Gus Bradley’s defense should not be available to watch for viewers under 18.

At the beginning of the season I saw this game as an easy win, but Bo Nix has proven to be a fierce competitor and what he may lack in some areas, his leadership and good decision making more than compensates for it! As you can tell, I am a Bo Nix fan, not next weekend of course, but the Colts will have to play one of their best games to win in Denver!

Last week, Anthony Richardson led the Colts to a win at home.

Next week, Anthony Richardson will lead the Colts to a win on the road.

Him and Payton are going to be a tough combo for a long time. The whole thing looks eerily similar to Brees with the Saints.

Gus Bradley is undoubtedly curled in the fetal position sobbing and asking God for some kind of emergency later this week to prevent him from having to try to defend against them- and we're still 8 days away from game day.

I don't see how anybody could objectively make this claim. As I stated earlier, the Colts have been one of the most unpredictable teams in the NFL since the retirement of Andrew Luck ...... this season alone, they beat the Steelers (one of the best teams in the AFC), and they lost to the Jaguars (arguably the worst team in the entire NFL.) Additionally, the Broncos are a pretty good team, but they aren't the Lions, the Chiefs, or even the Packers ...... they just barely beat the Browns with the help of 2 pick-6's from Jameis Winston.

If you assert that the Broncos should be favored to win this game on their home-field in Denver, you will get no argument from me ...... but saying that there is no way possible that the Colts could win this game, as though we're talking about Curtis Painter and the 2011 Colts going up against Joe Montana and the 1989 49ers is a pretty radical claim.
