Colts Football Schedule

All across the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana, football fans eagerly anticipate the start of this year's Colts football schedule. Who can blame them? After all, as each season comes closer and ever closer, the schedule serves as the ultimate hope of what the future may hold. How will the Colts fair in their season opener? Will they be able to secure enough wins to earn a playoff berth, or even become AFC South division champions? Can they emerge with enough victories to win it all this year? Before the season starts, a fan can look over the Colts schedule for the upcoming season and evaluate each game. He or she can determine which games are easy wins, and which may be slightly more difficult affairs. That fan can test out his or her prognostication skills and, best of all, dare to dream of all the success that the Indianapolis Colts will enjoy during the upcoming campaign.

The Colts Football Schedule & The AFC East

Year in and year out, there are only three teams guaranteed to be on the Colts football schedule. Those teams are the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Houston Texans and the Tennessee Titans, the Colts three AFC South division rivals. Throughout the years, Indianapolis has done very well against these three squads. The Colts are 11-10 all-time against the Titans franchise. They are 6-2 lifetime against Jacksonville, and are undefeated in six meetings with the Texans through the 2004 season. In 2004, the team went 5-1 against the AFC South, with the lone defeat coming to the Jaguars in a 27-24 heartbreaker on October 24. In fact, in his first three seasons on the Indianapolis sidelines, coach Tony Dungy has gone 14-4 against divisional opponents. That kind of dominance makes purchasing tickets to see the Colts play one of their fellow AFC South teams seem like a rather safe bet.
