With the regular season now at 17 games, teams no longer will have eight home and eight away games. Instead, every team will alternate between eight and nine home games.
This season, Indianapolis will play nine road games after only playing eight last season. Division teams aside, Indy has some intriguing road matchups.
Indy will travel to Las Vegas and play a tough Raiders team that beat them last season in a nail-biter. The Colts will also travel to Jerry’s World and take on a talented Cowboys team.
However, no road game will be bigger than the rivalry contest in Foxborough against the Patriots.
At home, Indy will welcome some explosive offenses like the Chiefs and Chargers and they will also have the return of Carson Wentz with Washington.
Overall, there are a lot of good opponents on the schedule for the Colts and Indy will have to dominate them if they want to have the type of season many believe they can.
