Football is the gift that keeps on giving and on the night of Christmas, the gifts won’t stop. Two playoff hopefuls will take the field when the 10-4 Arizona Cardinals host the 8-6 Indianapolis Colts in a festive Week 16 matchup.
Led by QB Kyler Murray, the Cardinals started the season hot and are at the top of the NFC West entering the week. They’re without All-Pro WR Deandre Hopkins yet they’re the current 4th seed in the NFC playoff picture. They have the same record as their divisional foe (LA Rams) which means they do not have much ground to lose and makes a win on Christmas even more important.
Head coach Frank Reich made his mark as an NFL quarterback by leading the greatest comeback in NFL history. The former University of Maryland QB also led the greatest college comeback in history at the time. Now, as the man in charge of the Colts, he’s led a team that started the season 0-3 to an 8-6 record and 5th place in the AFC playoff picture entering Week 16. Like Arizona, the Colts are in a tough playoff race and will need a win to stay in the race for a wildcard spot.

Predicting the Winners
The Colts are one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now. The horseshoes stumbled out the gate this season but they’ve trampled the competition after winning 7 out of their last 9. The Desert Birds are on a 3-game losing streak and head coach Kliff Kingsbury hasn’t shown that he can make adjustments in the NFL. Expect the Colts to leave Glendale with a convincing win by at least a touchdown.
