Hopefully the Colts are the team that takes advantage.

Games that are played in weeks 4, 5, 6, and 7 count just as much when it comes to post-season tiebreakers as do games that are played in Weeks 15, 16, and 17. So, while I will be pretty darned disappointed if the Colts do not win this showdown with the Texans on their homefield, I won't be completely abandoning hope for their season overall.

The Colts got the best of both worlds ........ they avoided a repeat of last year's 1-5 start, AND they beat the Texans in a key, early-season match-up. Woo hoo.
