The Indianapolis Colts enter this one with confidence. Indianapolis had lost three games in a row including two home losses but rebounded last week. They were dealt an ugly 38-27 home loss by the Saints in week eight and were 1.5 point favorites in a dominating 27-13 road win against the Panthers last week.
