Indianapolis Colts Team News
After a convincing loss to the New England Patriots two weeks ago, the Indianapolis Colts fired head coach Frank Reich. To everyone’s surprise, Jeff Saturday, who only worked as a coach at high school level was hired instead.
That move by owner Jim Irsay divided the entire NFL community. There were those who supported it, but there were many more who felt that Saturday’s signing was a humiliation for all coaches who have been working very hard for years to get a chance in this league. Irsay did something that no one before him had done and in the first game under the leadership of the new coach, the Colts went to Las Vegas and beat the Raiders. Now they have a clash with the Philadelphia Eagles at home.
If Saturday’s Colts make a surprise again and beat the Eagles, there will be no dilemma. It would turn out that Irsay made a great move. Matt Ryan was very good last week and if he repeats that performance, the Colts definitely has a chance.
Philadelphia Eagles Team News
The Philadelphia Eagles were the only undefeated team in the NFL until last week, but that has changed. They lost 32:21 against the Washington Commanders at home and will now try to get back on winning streak against the Indianapolis Colts.
Although the Eagles are at fantastic 8-1, their schedule has been very easy thus far. The Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys are the only teams above .500 they have played against and both of those games took place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The Eagles’ running game is the best in the entire NFL. One of the main reasons for that is their fantastic offensive line. Jalen Hurts doesn’t make a lot of mistakes and all of that has led to them being on top of the NFC right now.
Although they are big favorites on paper this week, the Eagles will have to play very well to overcome the motivated Colts. The opposing defensive line has quality, which means Hurts will have to throw the ball more often in this clash.
H2H
This will be first time in four years that the Colts and Eagles will play against each other. In 2018, the Eagles won 20:16 in Philadelphia.
Injuries
In addition to Shaquille Leonard who will be out for the rest of the season, Kwity Paye and Jelani Woods won’t play for the Indianapolis Colts. Avonte Madoxx, Dallas Goedert, Marlon Tuipolotu and Josh Jobe are out for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Indianapolis Colts vs. Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
If we look at the individual quality of both teams, the Eagles are not that much better than the Colts. This could be a much closer game than many expect, and maybe even an upset.
