If the Chargers tin receive a win, they’ll make a motion from sixth seed to fifth. Based on the Colts’ last performance, a victory this evening is a real possibility.
Last week, the Colts, who are done for the twelvemonth no matter of the outcome, took on the North Star State Vikings. They were firing on all cylinders as they continued to tally up the board. Before the half, they were upwards 33-0.
That top is plenty to urinate even the most die-hard sports buff modification the canalize or leave behind the stadium. It would have got been a mistake, though, as the Vikings fought back.
Despite beingness inwards concluded control, the Colts lost that gritty 39-36 inward OT. It was the biggest comeback in the story of the NFL, and 1 of the biggest embarrassments for the Colts enfranchisement inward the account of the team. capital of Indiana also missed control a calendar week before when they allowed the Dallas Cowboys to account 33 unanswered points.
Interim head up tutor Jeff Saturday wants to see if ex-serviceman QB Nick Foles canful piddle a different for the Colts. He’ll start up for the first off clip tonight, taking o'er for Matt Ryan and his monolithic slump.
That could finally live a vast positive for both the Colts and Saturday. On the other hand, it could also live a expiry blow, especially for Saturday.
Think Twice Before Betting
Moving to Foles could take into account the Colts to generate unexampled push on offense, something that is in earnest lacking. He’s going to hold to follow out warm from his firstly appearance, or it’s plunk for to the bench in favour of Sam Ehlinger.
The Colts are at place for the first of all clip in a month, which should also pay them a greater level of ease on offense. The defence has, for the most part, held its have this harden as the offence faltered.
However, for all the Colts’ seemingly impressive power to pose points on the gameboard utmost week, the offence has been and testament remain weak. Most of the Week 15 public presentation came off of theatre of operations goals and mistakes, not from a superior playbook.
The Chargers are favorite(a) to win and are getting a evenhandedly sizable vantage on the moneyline. The over/under of around 45 is fair, with the Bolts putting up to the highest degree of the points.
