According to ESPN Analytics, the Indianapolis Colts (2-0) currently have a 73% chance to make the postseason, which is the 4th highest percentage in the entire AFC:
Under new and improved starting quarterback Daniel Jones, the Colts are 2-0 for the first time since 2009, which is also the year of the franchise’s most recent Super Bowl appearance.
The Colts currently rank 4th in points for (31.0 points per game), and 11th in points against (18.o ppg).
Obviously, the Colts still have a lot of work to do with 15 regular season games still left on their schedule, including playing each divisional rival twice—starting this weekend on the road against the Tennessee Titans.
Still, the fact that the Colts have this high of early season playoff odds is pretty encouraging for the Horseshoe Faithful who have been starved for postseason football—as Indianapolis’s last playoff game was back in 2020.
Winning this weekend against the winless Titans would only continue that strong momentum for the early season Colts, who haven’t actually won the AFC South and hosted a home playoff game since 2014.
The Colts have a pretty favorable initial schedule, as while it’s the NFL, there are a lot of potentially winnable games on their schedule until things get a little bit dicier in Week 7 on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers and Week 9 also traveling to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Things pick up later on in this year’s schedule. The Colts then travel to Arrowhead in Week 12, host the Houston Texans in Week 13, travel to their personal ‘House of Horrors’ Jacksonville in Week 14, have back-to-back NFC West foes @Seattle Seahawks in Week 15 and hosting the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16, before finishing by traveling to Houston (i.e., ‘the House that T.Y. Hilton Built’) for the regular season finale in Week 18.
