Bye weeks are great for teams. They help them get some rest, and sometimes help teams regroup. The Colts needed it this week to get healthy for the rest of the season. But how do the Colts typically do in the week after their bye?
Since 2009, the team has gone 7-3 in the game directly following their bye in the regular season. That’s a pretty good record. That extra week can be used in preparation for that next game, so they have extra film study on their opponent and can find weaknesses easier.
The extra rest is also a big factor in these games.
