Any theories as to why Indy’s record at home is so bad? During our one season with Rivers in 2020, Indy was 6-2 at home. That’s the last season they had a winning record at home. Since then, they are 7-22 at LOS for a 31.8% winning percentage.
- 2021: 4-5
- 2022: 2-6
- 2023 (so far): 1-4
I get that the 2022 team was a disaster, and they wouldn’t have had a winning record anywhere they played, but this year’s team is much better and still 1-4 at home.
Personally, I don’t believe Indy will make the playoffs this year, and their play at home, coupled with the following two trends will be why:
- Steelers: We haven’t beaten them since 2008, and their strange dominance over us is approaching “curse” status. Throw out the records and rosters when these teams meet. For some cosmic reason, Pittsburgh owns them.
- Raiders: Colts and Raiders have played every year since Luck’s last season in 2018. For some strange reason, the visiting team has won every one of these games: Colts won on the road in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Raiders won on the road in 2019, 2021, 2023(?)
Poor play at the quarterback position. After Rivers, we’ve had Wentz, Ryan, and Minshew (mostly).
