Week 11 Colts Week — predict the score

Indy is a solid team. Well coached, very good in the trenches. Taylor is a great RB, Hines is an excellent change of pace back. As far as how likely is it they win depends largely on which Wentz shows up. He can be solid or he can stink up the place. 

 

I think the Bills will struggle a bit up front on offense. Daboll needs to get just enough out of the line to keep Josh under center as much as possible to open up the run game, roll outs and buy Josh more time. 

 

All in all I can see this Colts team coming in and winning this game in a close one. However with NE winning last night Buffalo has to be feeling the pressure and I think they come out and do just enough to get the home victory

 

Bills: 27

Colts: 23

Very reasonable take! I might even say a lower scoring game like 21-17, 23-20 or something.

27-20 Colts. Bills can't hang physically.

I never understood this. It's the NFL. Every team is physical and the Bills are considered a more physical team then most by most analysts. I hope you are wrong, just for the sake of it I'll say 27-20 Bills.

 

The loss of brown, star, Edmunds and Milano may likely prove to be too damning for us this week but let's hope not. Please don't give the pats the division lead!!

If not for some uncharacteristic missed throws during last year’s playoff game from Rivers,  the Colts likely would have won the game as they dominated in the trenches and outgained the Bills.  
 

I think key Buffalo injuries play a factor here.

 

Indy - 24

Bills -  21

Missed throws by Rivers are extremely characteristic.

Wait, Milano is out? When did that happen?

Injuries are part of it. I still don't trust this team vs physical football teams.

I don’t have a good feeling about this game, but I do know that more than any other this will be the true measuring stick for the 2021 Bills. Beating up on teams like the Dolphins and Jets proves nothing. We see the same thing from also ran pretenders in college football conferences every year. Then the pretender goes up against the top team and gets mauled. Being a home game…the Bills need to win this one:

 

27-13 Bills

 

If not, it spells real trouble for the promise this season had to offer.

This will come down to who makes the most mistakes Allen or Wentz. And if you watched the Colts vs, Titans game you know. Colts will move the ball, but turnovers hopefully kill them. Dome team playing in the rain with a turnover prone QB. Bills 23-Colts 20. Big Ball Bass nails the buzzer beater FG.

I am really nervous about our OLine and the ability to block Buckner...dude can wreck the game if he gets in Allen's face...I would probably get Allen on the move in this one...

 

that said, I simply think we are a better team on both sides of the ball and are at home.

 

Bills 31

Colts 16

With rain and wind 

 

Bills 31 Colts 13

 

If weather changes 

 

Bills 21 colts 20

 

People thinking rain favors Colts I disagree.  Allen is likely one of best QBs in elements and I wouldn't trust Wentz in rain and wind...so we can focus even more on stopping run.  Allen's last wind and rain game he looked like there was nothing impacting him so I predict we get a few TOs and blow them out in rain.

I think both he and Edmunds play...

IMO the biggest factor to limited Taylor will be the offense. Get a lead early, and force them to throw more. This is exactly what we didnt do against Tenn which cost us.

 

I think we figured some stuff out last week and I expect us to score. The Indy D isnt anything special.

Injuries and covid issues aside, I think this is the game where we realize that last week was merely a mirage and the same team we saw most the season returns against a quality opponent. And if we do lose this game as I predict we may be staring down a nightmare scenario on the road in the NO on a short week and then a red hot dominant Pats team that will be looking to send a message on national TV against their former punching bag.

 

In the end I see this one playing out like the Steelers game but won't be surprised if the Colts pull away earlier since they have a better QB/oline/RB

 

Colts 30

Bills 20

Bills are #1 defense, #5 offense.

Colts are #20 defense, #12 offense.  

 

Bills are +14 in give-aways/take-aways.   Colts are solid but not as good as the Bills at +11.

 

The Bills OL worries me but the overall statistical picture indicates the Bills are a much better team.

 

I'll go Bills 30, Colts 20.

As I've posted elsewhere this is going to be a really difficult test for the Bills.  Everybody is slobbering over the rejuvenated Pats*** and waiting for the Bills to fall.  Indy is motivated to keep their slim playoff hopes alive while also avenging last season's ouster.  Buffalo's OL is banged up and we may be missing two key cogs in the defense.

 

 

Colts 16

Bills 34
