The Indianapolis Colts have lost three of four games and are collapsing at the precisely wrong time here in 2025. After a strong start, it seems like the train is slowly falling off the track, but that doesn't mean it can't rebound in the coming weeks.

However, the one issue with that is the insanely tough schedule they are set to have, and with the AFC South all of a sudden tightening up, the Colts are at a legitimate risk of missing the playoffs entirely, which would have been unheard of just a few short weeks ago.

Let's predict how Indy performs in their next three games, which could ultimately decide the fate of this breakout season.

Predicting the next three games for the Indianapolis Colts after a brutal Week 13 loss

Week 14 @ Jacksonville Jaguars

It's hard for me to believe in the Colts right now. Nothing seems to be consistently working, and this team now heads to Jacksonville for its second divisional game in a row. The Jags have been a tough out all year and seem to be better in the high-stakes situations of games. The same can't be said for Daniel Jones and Indy. The Jags take care of business at home in this one.

Prediction: Jaguars win 23-20 (8-5)

Week 15 @ Seattle Seahawks

The Colts have to get out of this rut at some point, right? Could it come in Week 15? Well, maybe not, as the Seattle Seahawks possess one of the best and most explosive defenses in the NFL this year. Seattle is 4-2 at home in 2025 and allows opponents to score just 18.2 points per game.

They've also forced 18 turnovers this year and have 13 interceptions. Daniel Jones is going to struggle in this hostile environment in Week 15, leading to yet another loss and officially spiraling the season into chaos.

Prediction: Seahawks win 27-17 (8-6)

Week 16 vs. San Francisco 49ers

The Colts are still a good team and are good enough to get back on track. Fortunately, they host the San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 16, and while San Fran is 9-4 after 13 games, they simply do not have the personnel to match up with the Colts, especially when Indy is on offense. I think the Colts find a way to win this one and keep their slim divisional chances alive.

Prediction: Colts win 27-20 (9-6)
