Indianapolis Colts at Las Vegas Raiders: Game preview and prediction

The Raiders head into Week 14 in an absolute must win game against the Colts, as both teams are fighting for a playoff spot late in the season.

The Las Vegas Raiders have not performed well at all in the last two weeks, in fact, they have arguably played their worst football of the season in that span. The Raiders followed a 43-6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a 31-28 win over the New York Jets, winning the game over the winless Jets with a hail mary touchdown with five seconds left in the game.

On the other hand, the Indianapolis Colts have not performed very well in their last two outings either, being pummeled by the Titans 45-26, followed up with a 26-20 victory that saw them squeak out a victory as Deshaun Watson fumbled a snap at the two yard line to end the game.

Both of these two teams have had to deal with issues within their roster over the past two weeks, which can be attributed to the injuries of star players on both sides of the ball, but both have managed to go 1-1 in those two outings, keeping themselves in the thick of the playoff race, making this Week 14 matchup the most important of the entire season.

Indy is currently the No. 7 seed in the AFC Playoffs, with the Raiders right on their heels, making this the most important game for the Silver and Black in the last four years. Here is our game preview for Sunday’s matchup.
