- Averaged 102.7 rushing yards per game (2 of 3 under 100 yards)
- Averaged 1.7 turnovers per game, with a -1.7 average per game differential.
So, unless you think the Colts are as bad as the Raiders, this seems like a vulnerable team with a good passing game and not much else going for it. The Colts seem to be the much more complete team. I don't think it will take some extraordinary effort from any one player or the team as a whole for the Colts to win this one. All I think it would take is them playing their game and executing well. This Chiefs team seems very vulnerable to me.

The Chiefs defense gave up 18 ppg at home and 35 ppg on the road. In 5/8 road games, the Chiefs gave up at least 33 points. The Chiefs did not surrender 30 points in any home game this year.
Colts need to get off to a strong start because that defense is built to rush the passer with a lead.
