Top 5 reasons Indianapolis Colts will go to the playoffs in 2014

2. Easy Schedule – The Colts got extremely lucky with how their schedule broke this year. The schedule includes only 4 games against teams with a winning record (Broncos, Patriots, Eagles, Bengals) and nine games against opponents with a losing record (six of them in their own division). While the Colts could very well lose their first two games against the Broncos and Eagles, the rest of the schedule is almost criminally easy and the Colts should have no problem taking care of business in December: the last four games are against Cleveland, Houston, Dallas and Tennessee – a combined record of 21-43 in 2013.
