| Bleacher Report | Colts | 26-21 |
The Colts narrowly lost to the Tennessee Titans in Week 8 in overtime while the Jets shocked the world with an upset win over the Cincinnati Bengals at home.
The Colts will be without wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, who is still in the league’s concussion protocol, and without their top safeties in Khari Willis and Julian Blackmon.
This should be a game the Colts handle with relative ease but given that it’s the NFL—and Thursday night—anything can happen.
