The Indianapolis Colts (4-5) have a .500 record on their mind as they are in Germany for their Week 10 matchup with the New England Patriots.
After studying both teams, I decided to share a Colts prediction for both sides of the ball. As well as my official score prediction.
Predictions:
Offense:
Alec Pierce scores his first touchdown of the year
Colts WR Alec Pierce has caught flack from many in the fan base this year, as he's seemed to slide down to the third WR for the team behind Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs. His sophomore season hasn't seen the jump many expected and hoped for, as he's only combined for 17 receptions for 243 yards and no touchdowns. I think his touchdown drought will finally come to an end this week in Germany.
Defense:
Shaquille Leonard forces his first turnover of the season.
Colts LB Shaquille Leonard has expressed his displeasure with his current role on the team's defense over the past few weeks. And I think it's about time we see the Maniac do what he has done so many times over this career, and that's force a turnover, whether it's a forced fumble or an interception. If he wants his snaps and role to be increased, it'll start with making big plays for the team. And I believe we will see him force at least one this week, which would be the first time he's done it this season.
Score:
Colts win 27-17
The Patriots have allowed at least 20 points in every game this season outside of Week 3 vs the New York Jets. The Colts are the only team in the NFL to have accomplished that feat in every game this season. This feels like a good sign that both those streaks will continue this week. On the other side of the ball the Patriots offense has only scored 20 or more points twice this season, doing so in Week 1 vs. the Philadelphia Eagles (20 points) and Week 7 vs. the Buffalo Bills (25 points). The Colts defense is coming off one of their most dominant performances of the year vs. the Panthers, and I think with a .500 record on the line, we will see the Colts pull out a multi-score win over their long-time rivals, the Patriots.
