Colts’ Playoff Hopes Hang on Texans-Chargers Outcome Before Jaguars Game
A Houston win or tie in Los Angeles would end Indianapolis' season before kickoff Sunday.
Overview
- Indianapolis can only make the postseason by winning its final two games while Houston loses its final two.
- The Texans visit the Chargers on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET, and any Houston win or tie would eliminate the Colts.
- If the Texans lose and the Colts beat the Jaguars on Sunday, a Week 18 rematch in Houston would decide the seventh seed.
- Betting lines list Indianapolis as a 5.5-point home underdog to Jacksonville and Houston as a 1.5-point road underdog to Los Angeles.
- Indianapolis fell out of AFC South contention with a Week 16 loss to the 49ers, while Jacksonville has already clinched a playoff berth.
