The Indianapolis Colts enter their bye week at 5-5.
They may not have the power to control their standing in the league this week, but there are multiple games that the team and Colts fans should be paying attention to.
Week 11 games to watch:
AFC South:
While the Colts don't control their own destiny in terms of the AFC South championship, it is still very much in the cards. They have wins over the Houston Texans and Tennesee Titans, with a game still to be played against both. But they did get swept by the AFC South-leading Jacksonville Jaguars already this year, which means they would have to finish with a better record than the Jaguars to have any shot at the division championship. So, as much as it may sicken some fans, rooting for the Titans to win this week is in the team's best interest.
- Titans @ Jaguars
- Cardinals @ Texans
Draft Consideration:
For some fans, the playoffs may not be what you are rooting for. If your mind moved towards the offseason and the NFL Draft after starting QB Anthony Richardson's season ended, there are multiple games to have your eyes on. The Colts are one of six teams to have five wins this season. There are also five teams with four wins and five with three wins. That is 16 teams, which is half of the league within a game of the Colts current win total. This means while the Colts sit at 5-5, their draft position could go up or down drastically by the end of the season, depending on how teams perform.
- Chargers @ Packers
- Jets @ Bills
- Vikings @ Broncos
- Buccaneers @ 49ers
- Giants @ Commanders
- Seahawks @ Rams
- Bears @ Lions
Wildcard Race:
With the Colts currently in 3rd place in the AFC South rankings, their most likely path to the postseason is by earning one of the three AFC wildcard spots. The Colts are currently on the outside looking in as the three teams currently slotted in those three spots are the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, and Houston Texans. There are also two teams above the Colts outside of the playoffs who sit at 5-4: the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. And the Colts have the same record (5-5) as the Las Vegas Raiders.
- Bengals @ Ravens TNF
- Cardinals @ Texans
- Steelers @ Browns
- Raiders @ Dolphins
- Jets @ Bills
