How are you feeling Horseshoe Faithful in the BYE week?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Indianapolis Colts fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Indianapolis Colts (6-7) bested the New England Patriots last week and now enter the BYE week still in the mix for a potential AFC playoff spot—albeit on the outside, looking in.
Coming off the BYE week, their Week 15 road matchup against the Denver Broncos (8-5) will no doubt be the biggest remaining game of their 2024 regular season—as the Broncos currently hold the AFC’s final wild card playoff spot as the 7th seed.
Right now, the Colts have a 27% chance of making the playoffs, but also have a very favorable schedule to close out the season with remaining games otherwise against the Tennessee Titans (3-9), at New York Giants (2-10), and Jacksonville Jaguars (2-10) from Weeks 16-18 respectively.
For what it’s worth, the Broncos (also on a BYE next week) still have to play at the Los Angeles Chargers (8-4), at the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8), and the Kansas City Chiefs (11-1), so another loss (*in addition to hopefully the Colts in Week 15) isn’t out of the question by any means for Denver against better quality NFL competition.
With all that being said, do you think the Colts can make the playoffs?
And are you confident in the future direction of the franchise?
