20. Indianapolis Colts (19) – Play Monday Night vs. Saints

For a team that is already in desperation mode, the last thing the Indianapolis Colts can afford is another loss on the road Monday night in what should be a difficult matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

A few months ago, the Colts appeared to be a lock for at least a Wild Card spot in the AFC playoff picture since the team seemed to be in great shape on both sides of the football.

But unless Indianapolis figures out a way to end this year on a hot note with some key wins along with receiving some help from other teams in the AFC, chances are the Colts will be watching the playoffs from home come January.

After jumping out to an impressive 5-2 start, Indianapolis has managed to lose five of their last six games and could easily make it six of seven if they come up short in New Orleans when seeing how the two teams compare at the moment.

Since the Saints will be extra motivated to keep the race close for the top seed in the NFC, the Colts could be in trouble for this one if the last few months are any indication of what to expect on Monday.
