To break the theme of underachieving teams is the Indianapolis Colts who overachieved. No one had them even sniffing the playoffs last season, so they weren’t put in many primetime games.

That will certainly change in 2019 as the Colts are one of the most elite teams in football. Not to mention the draw and attention that’s created whenever Andrew Luck takes the field. It wouldn’t be shocking if the Colts ended up playing five primetime games.

Next. Even with depth at DT, Raiders cannot pass on Quinnen Williams. dark

In fact, I’m counting on it with one of those against the Oakland Raiders. A clash on Monday night football is my prediction between these two if they are deemed primetime worthy. Based on what we have seen from them this offseason, they could be two teams fighting for the playoffs late in the 2019 season.
