NFL Week 18 Bold Predictions: Carson Wentz Spoils Broncos’ Playoff Bid
The NFL regular season is winding down, and with just one week remaining, the playoff picture is starting to take shape. One of the most intriguing matchups of Week 18 is the battle between the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos. The Colts are currently 4-12-1, while the Broncos are 7-9. A win for the Colts would eliminate the Broncos from playoff contention, while a win for the Broncos would keep their slim playoff hopes alive.
Here are some bold predictions for the Week 18 matchup between the Colts and the Broncos:
Carson Wentz Leads Colts to Upset Victory
Carson Wentz has been a disappointment for the Colts this season, but he is due for a big game. The Broncos’ defense has been struggling lately, and Wentz should be able to take advantage of their weaknesses. He will throw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Colts to an upset victory.
Broncos’ Offense Struggles Without Jerry Jeudy
Jerry Jeudy is the Broncos’ leading receiver, but he is expected to miss the game against the Colts due to an ankle injury. His absence will be a major blow to the Broncos’ offense. Without Jeudy, the Broncos will struggle to move the ball through the air, and they will be forced to rely on their running game. The Colts’ defense is ranked 10th in the NFL against the run, so they should be able to slow down the Broncos’ running game and force them to punt.
Colts’ Defense Forces Multiple Turnovers
The Colts’ defense has been one of the most opportunistic in the NFL this season. They have forced 15 turnovers, which is tied for the third-most in the league. The Broncos’ offense has been turnover-prone this season, so the Colts’ defense should be able to force multiple turnovers in this game. These turnovers will give the Colts a short field to work with, and they will help them put points on the board.
Colts Win and Eliminate Broncos from Playoff Contention
The Colts will win the game against the Broncos and eliminate them from playoff contention. Wentz will have a big game, the Broncos’ offense will struggle without Jeudy, and the Colts’ defense will force multiple turnovers. The Colts will win the game by a score of 27-17.
The Colts’ victory will be a major disappointment for the Broncos, who were hoping to make a playoff run this season. The Broncos have a lot of young talent, but they need to find a way to be more consistent before they can compete for a championship.
The Colts, on the other hand, will be happy to end the season on a high note. They have had a disappointing season, but they have shown some signs of improvement in recent weeks. The Colts have a lot of young players who are starting to develop, and they could be a surprise team next season.
