Indianapolis Colts (6-4) and Houston Texans (5-5)

This division makes me want to puke.

The Colts are the best team, by far, but I don’t even think the Colts are that good. Their best win is over a Cincinnati team without A.J. Green. The Texans are hanging around, basically, because of Arian Foster and J.J. Watt. The Colts should win the division, but then again, you never know in the NFL.

What It Will Take For The Colts: 

The lack of competition in this division is astounding compared to the rest of the league. The Colts basically have to make sure they win one more game than the Texans, who are probably an 8-8 team at best. Other than the Cowboys, the Colts only have the Texans, Browns, Jaguars, Titans, and Redskins to close out the season. That’s easily the easiest schedule for a team trying to win the division not in the NFC South.

What It Will Take For The Texans: 

The Texans will probably need to win-out to win the division, which includes a game against the Colts they can use to tie the Colts atop the division. The Colts have such an easy schedule, and the Texans isn’t much harder, if at all.

Prediction: 

The Colts are going to win this division, and that’s stupid because their best win in the entire season is going to be against the Bengals.

Next: Wait... Denver MIGHT NOT Win The Division?
