Los Angeles Chargers Vs Indianapolis Colts
Monday Night Football will conclude NFL Week 16 with the (8-6) Los Angeles Chargers taking on the (4-9-1) Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil stadium.
The Chargers come off a tough 17-14 victory against the Tennessee Titans, the Chargers always seem to find themselves winning in the final seconds of the game and haven’t been able to win comfortably in quite some time. The Chargers playoff hopes are very much alive and if they want any chance at making the playoffs and making a legitimate run the offense will have to be nearly perfect with Justin Herbert leading the way and with the rushing attack at its best with Austin Ekeler. The Chargers defense will also need to step up and stop opting teams from running the ball so well.
As for the Colts, they came off a really tough loss, a game in which they led 33-0 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Colts ultimately lost 39-36 in what was the biggest comeback in NFL history. As if blowing lead wasn’t bad enough the Colts also lost their star running back Jonathan Taylor for the remainder of the season. Quarterback Matt Ryan will be sidelined for the game against the Chargers and Nick Foles will be taking over play calling duties this week. The Colts playoff hopes are over and do not have much to play for besides spoiling the Chargers chances of making the playoffs. If the Colts want to win this game they’ll need to convert their red-zone opportunities into Touchdowns.
A AFC conference matchup between the Chargers and Colts could be interesting if the Chargers win the will increase their chances at making the playoffs in a tight race to secure playoff spots.
Score Prediction: Chargers Win (20-14)
