Pittsburgh Steelers (3-7) at Indianapolis Colts (4-5-1):
Week 12 of the NFL will close tonight as the Pittsburgh Steelers head to Indianapolis and take on the Colts. So what does this game mean for the Patriots’ playoff chances? Let’s take a look.
The Patriots played both the Colts and Steelers earlier in the season and defeated both teams. In Week 2, the Patriots outlasted the Steelers 20-17; in Week 9, the Patriots defeated the Colts 26-3. However, both these teams have poor records. The Steelers have only three wins, while the Colts have won four. The AFC South should go to the Titans, while the AFC North race is much closer.
Nevertheless, go Steelers! The Steelers’ playoff chances sit at 1%, while the Colts’ playoff chances sit at 9%. The Colts are more likely to compete for a wild card with the Patriots. So Patriots fans, let’s hope for a good game and root for Pittsburgh.
