Colts Primetime Games in 2024

Colts host defending AFC South Winners Week 1
Indianapolis’s season begins where it left off last year with a matchup against division rival Houston. Unlike their ♎2023 Week 18 game, Indy will have their dynamic QB at the helm. This is the first of three division games for the Colts over the first six games.
Colts 2024 Record Prediction
The Colts’ schedule features a healthy mix of winnable games and tough matchups. The season opens at home against the defending AFC South champs, the Houston Texans, followed by their toughest, non-division road game against the Green Bay Packers. The ꦡAFC South is still a very winnable division, but th🐼e road won’t be easy for Indy.
Colts Record Prediction: 10-7 (2nd, AFC South)
No NFL schedule is considered easy and the Colts’ schedule falls into this category, but they caught a significant break this year on paper. They face just one, non-divisional playoff opponent on the road, and that’s in week 2 against the Packers avoiding the bitter cold at Lambeau late in the season.

As a matter of fact, including that game, and their two against Houston, Indianapolis plays just six games against 2023 playoff teams and four of them are at home. Included in these games are matchups against Miami, Buffalo, and Detroit which will all be difficul꧙t games that should help determine Indianapolis’ 2024 success.
The Colts are a team on the rise and could see a boost on offense but questions in the secondary are still there. This team should benefit from the return of Anthony Richardson and being the second year under Shane Steicheಞn. The Texans have also improved with the additions of multiple high-profile players and could prove to be the class of the division. A playoff appearance is still possible for the Colts as long as they take care of business at home and steal a few road wins.
