Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) at Indianapolis Colts (4-5-1)

Sunday, November 20, 1:00 PM ET

The Indianapolis Colts, to their credit, really rallied this weekend despite some of the craziest circumstances you’ll ever see for an NFL team. In less than a month’s time, they fired offensive coordinator Marcus Brady, benched quarterback Matt Ryan, fired head coach Frank Reich, and then made an unprecedented interim head coaching hire of Jeff Saturday.

And then they went on the road to beat the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

As sorry as the Raiders are right now as a franchise, you’ve got to tip your cap to the way the Colts were able to rally because the Colts fired head coach Frank Reich — after benching Matt Ryan — only to then bench Sam Ehlinger and reinsert Matt Ryan back into the lineup.

The Colts did Frank Reich dirty there, but for the time being, you can’t really argue with results. How long will the honeymoon last? The Colts have a tough test coming back home this weekend against the mighty Philadelphia Eagles, arguably the best team in the entire NFL this season.

The Eagles have been playing so well this season that it’s hard to pick against them, even if you consider some of the good vibes with the Colts right now. They got that momentum for a week, got an emotionally-charged win, and now the real test is coming. How do you defend your home field against the most well-rounded team in the league right now?

It’s going to be brutal. I will give the Colts credit here. I think they’ll make it a tight game if everything goes right for them, but I think the Eagles will keep rolling after the speed bump against Washington.

Prediction: Eagles win 23-20
