Every team we face from here on except the 49ers has a top defense in one way or another.
Jags has #1 run defense and will sell out to stop it, and force us to beat them with the pass. Seahawks have #2 run defense and will do the exact same thing. And Steichen will give in to that and abandon the run entirely in the 2nd half in all 3 of those games. All 3 will be losses. (and that's not to mention Jags and hawks are tied for 2nd in interceptions, and hawks ranked 4 in sacks.)
We play Houston's #1 total defense again, which we will lose.
Only the 49ers game is winnable from that perspective, but then, the 49ers have the 4th best passing offense vs the Colts 27th ranked (and sinking) pass defense.
8 wins is where it stops. Colts lose out and miss the playoffs.

It's almost like the NFL backloaded our schedule on purpose, I think they enjoy building up Colts fans hopes and then ripping their hearts out! I think we get 2 wins, 49ers and Jags in Indy, can't see us winning more than that. There might be a chance that the Texans won't have much to play for last game, maybe a win can't improve their position....but they would probably still beat us just for spite!
