The equation has been simplified to it’s purest form, if the Colts win they make the playoffs, if they lose they are out. It is as simple as that. This is the second time in five years where the Colts face off against a divisional rival in the final game of the regular season to define who makes it to the playoffs. Remember that final game against the Titans in Tennessee where Andrew Luck threw three touchdowns and we beat them in their own home to make it and leave them out of it? Seems like ages ago. There was also another divisional game in Duval the final week that was win-and-in for the Colts a couple of seasons ago, but that did not go as well and I think that we Colts’ fans do not really enjoy that memory,
Anyhow, we now have a more than decent future to lookout for, and if the Colts manage to take care of their business at home and beat the Texans, then they could finish as high as the fourth seed if the Jaguars lose or tie against the Titans, as the 6th seed if the Jaguars win and the Bills lose against the Dolphins, or as the 7th seed if the Jags and the Bills both win their games.
