The Indianapolis Colts (4-5-1) welcome the Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) over to the Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday for a Week 11 matchup. The Indianapolis Colts are in second place in AFC South after collecting four wins from ten games so far in the regular season, while eight wins in nine matches leave Philadelphia Eagles first in the NFC East. It’s now getting toward that time of the year when every match counts. For the Indianapolis Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles, a victory here could prove to be a game-changer in their respective campaigns.

Form Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts finally put an end to their three-match losing streak last time out by beating the Las Vegas Raiders 25-20. The victory improved their record from the past ten games to 4-5-1. They are also 3-2 in the last five at home.

Scoring clearly isn’t where the Indianapolis Colts’ A-game lies. The offense has only put 15.7 points on board, which is one of the league’s worst points averages. On the other side of the ball, the defense has been relatively average in the league recently. The hosts have given up 21.8 points in the previous five outings, which is more or less on par with the 20.3 points they’ve allowed per game over the course of the regular season.

This year, the Indianapolis Colts had been tipped to go far into the playoffs. However, ten matches into the current regular season, the hosts are only 4-5 and won’t be around when January football gets underway unless, of course, they can turn things around quickly.

Form Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles hope to get back on track after suffering their first setback of the season last time out, going down 21-32 against the Washington Commanders. Form has looked good otherwise, with four wins in five matches. Their overall record from the past 10 games is 8-2.

The Philadelphia Eagles continue to put up decent numbers in offense, scoring 26.2 points in their last five matches. Considering their season average is 27.3 points, this suggests the offensive unit remains as reliable as ever. A middle-of-the-pack defense is what the Philadelphia Eagles have to offer ahead of their latest road trip, with 18.6 points allowed across nine matches so far.

The Philadelphia Eagles are touted as a potential Super Bowl challenger for this season. While it’s still early days, things are going according to plan so far. The visitors hold the first seed in the NFC Conference, leaving them set for a spot in the January playoffs. Until then, the aim will be to strengthen their position by either maintaining or improving their current seeding.
