We have Ryan Michael, Marisa Scolamiero, Aaron Glenn, and myself, The Stats Guy, Corey McSweeney, returning to the table of round and musing on the topic of the Colts playoff chances.
Well, we are getting to the nitty gritty of the season, folks. Good teams trying to hold on for another month and some change. The struggling teams trying to get above water. The bad teams “battling” for draft pick position. The cold weather. I love it.
Another topic will pop up for some teams. Are we going to the playoffs?
Well, Colts fans, yes we are. There, I said it.
Think about it for a second. If the season ended now, the Colts would have the sixth position in playoffs because they hold tiebreakers over Baltimore and New England with victories over the two, but lose the tiebreaker to Miami because the ‘Fins have a better division record. But that’s only today.
The Colts have San Diego this weekend, followed by behemoths Detroit and Cincinnati coming to the “Luke” and head to Cleveland after that. That should, at minimum, be a 3-1 stretch. There are also two big division games against Jacksonville at the Jags and home against Tennessee the last week of the season.
The Colts have a score to settle with the Jaguars over some bad calls that absolutely cost them in the first matchup and also will want to knock Tennessee off the mantle temporarily in that last game, who will lay down in that matchup, especially if they have a loss coming into it.
If we say that the Colts split those two matchups, that puts them at 10-6, definitely a playoff record. And this is on the low end of expectations the way the Colts are playing.

Is Cromartie playing this weekend? Last year he looked like Ty Law when he played for the Pats. The Chargers have a way of bringing out the worst in the Colts. Six interception, and Vinateri blows a 22 yard field goal that would have won te game. And in the playoffs, Rivers had an eterinity to throw.
The wild card race is very crowded, and two teams with the same record as the Colts will not make it. When they play well, they can beat anyone. Then there are games like the game in Green Bay, and the 4th quarter in Nashville. Football is all about momentum and if they want to get in, they can't let up on the gas.
