INDIANAPOLIS – With another massive one waiting on Sunday, the Colts are still in control of the AFC South.
The Colts (7-3) can deliver quite the blow to the rest of the AFC South with a win over the Titans (7-3) this Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Currently, the Colts have a 56 percent chance of winning the division. With a win on Sunday over the Titans, those chances would rise to 84 percent. A loss, and those chances drop to 14 percent.
Yeah, this one matters quite a lot.
Obviously, a win for the Colts would be ideal, especially when you look at the very crowded nature of the AFC Wild Card picture, with the Colts having already lost two head-to-head matchups against the Ravens and Browns.
If the playoffs started today, the Steelers would get the 1st round bye as the No. 1 seed, and these would be the matchups on Wild Card weekend:
No. 2 Chiefs vs. No. 7. Raiders
No. 3 Bills vs. No. 6. Browns
No. 4 Colts vs. No. 5. Titans
