The Indianapolis Colts are back on the road in Week 17 to face the New York Giants with their playoff hopes still barely hanging on.
The Colts have two potential paths to the postseason, but both require them to win their final two games and a lot of help. However, it is possible that the Colts are eliminated before kickoff at MetLife Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Giants will enter Week 17 at 2-13 on the year and have lost 10 straight games. This is an instance where the Colts are clearly the more talented and better team, and you’d hope that they operate as such.
With that said, there are unknowns at the quarterback position for the Colts this week with Anthony Richardson listed as questionable after not practicing at all during the week.

Colts vs Giants prediction, pick
I’ll pick the Colts to win this game. Indianapolis is far from a perfect team and has their own issues, but they can hang their hat on Jonathan Taylor and the run while the defense has done a very good job this season at generating takeaways. I believe those elements will be too much for the Giants to overcome.
Prediction: Colts 24 – Giants 17
