2. Indianapolis Colts

The Colts might be the No. 7 seed, but they’re no slouch. Their defense, consisting of Darius Leonard and old friend Justin Houston, could deal the Chiefs fits if this matchup were to happen and while Indy’s offense is wishy-washy, Philip Rivers is all too familiar with his former AFC West rival.

Chiefs fans would be a little nervous about Indianapolis coming to Arrowhead next weekend because of the playoff history between these two teams. KC finally beat the Colts in the divisional round in the 2018 season, but it’d still be a week filled with nerves.

Fortunately for the Chiefs, Indy has to face Buffalo this weekend and that’s going to be a tough task. If they’re able to beat the Bills and then the Chiefs in back-to-back weeks, just hand the Colts the Lombardi Trophy because that’d be quite the accomplishment.

While it’s been an entire year since their last matchup, the Colts have proven they’re not afraid to come into Arrowhead and beat a team that’s better than them. Throw in that running back Jonathan Taylor is red hot and the Colts would most definitely have what it takes to come to KC and leave with a W.
