To say the upcoming game against the Denver Broncos is high stakes for the Indianapolis Colts is an understatement; it could all but make or break their goal of making the playoffs this year.
The Colts currently have a losing record at 6-7, compared to the Broncos' 8-5, and their quarterback, Bo Nix, has been proving that he's a force to be reckoned with. The Broncos are currently favored to beat the Colts, but not by much. The Broncos have won their last three in a row, but the Colts have also won two of their last three, and Anthony Richardson is showing steady signs of improvement - so much so, that he's become the only reliable player on the Colts' offense lately.
Regardless of who analysts believe will emerge victorious, everyone seems to agree that this will be a very close game between two teams who both need to win.
