For the first time since 2009 the Patriots are not sat at home watching the wild card games to see who comes to Foxborough next week. Instead they are preparing to take on a Tennessee side who have looked very dangerous in recent weeks and could cause some issues.
The Dolphins face a very difficult task this Sunday as they head to New England looking to cause an upset and stop the Patriots enjoying a first round bye. A win for the Patriots will secure the number two seed and a weeks rest going into the play offs.
The end of the season is drawing near and the Colts are hosting the Carolina Panthers for their last home game of the season in this week 16 matchup. Having sealed their seasons fate on Monday losing to New Orleans, Indy face a Panthers side whose journey has also come to an end for the year. The last two games are now just really a case of playing for pride and, dependant on results, where they will place in the 2020 draft. If anything else it might be a chance to assess players and the whole team as a unit going forward into the new year.
The Bills head to New England looking to spoil the party and put a bit of pressure on Brady and his ever consistent dynasty of the AFC East. A win for Buffalo would take them level with New England meaning the division would go down to the final game next weekend.
It is week 15 and the Colts are heading down south to New Orleans for Monday Night Football. An important match for the Colts, a win keeps them barely in the hunt for a playoff spot and a loss puts that final nail in the coffin for the season. The harsh reality suggests that hopes for the Playoffs is over, as a lot of results will have to go their way and they will still have to win all of their own games, starting with the Saints. The Saints have already secured the NFC South and a playoff position but they are still playing for what seed they will have. They currently sit at third seed but first and second are still in reach. This game is not going to be easy for Indy.
Week 14 has arrived and the Colts (6-6) are heading down to Florida to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-7). After a poor week 13, which resulted in a loss against the Tennessee Titans, the Colts will need to win each of their last four games to still have any chance of making the Playoffs. The Bucs themselves have slim Playoff hopes, although it just might be a little too late now for such a thing to happen. To be fair, a lot is also against Indy to make post-season after last weeks loss. Sitting behind Houston (8-4) and Tennessee (7-5) in the division and Pittsburgh (7-5), Buffalo (9-3) and Oakland (6-6) in the hunt for a Wildcard position, it is all uphill from here.
Brady and the Patriots head back to Foxborough looking to get back to winning ways after a challenging defeat down in Texas last weekend. Brady finished with fairly strong numbers on 326 yards for three touchdowns, but it all came too late as the Texans held on in the fourth quarter.
The First and Ten Mega League is Fantasy Football with a difference. There are four leagues with the players battling it out for one of six spots in the postseason that runs through the actual NFL playoffs where some great prizes are up for grabs.
Week 13 is here and the Colts are welcoming the Tennessee Titans to Lucas Oil in another big AFC South game. The winner of this match could see one of these two lead the division by the end of the weekend should Houston lose to New England. This is another big game for the Colts especially after losing yet another close game. Last time out it was Thursday Night Football against the Texans and a 20 – 17 loss for the Colts which came in the same week that the Titans blew out division rivals Jacksonville with a 42 – 20 victory, which will certainly give them a confidence boost going into this one.
Tom Brady and the Patriots travel to Houston on Sunday evening to face a Houston team with a Quarterback who they know can cause them problems. Watson has 20 touchdowns so far this season and just seven interceptions, averaging over 263 yards per game.
