TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Records: Panthers 5-9, Colts 6-8

Line: Colts by 7½

Satellite radio: Panthers feed on Sirius 108 (streaming 804), Colts feed on Sirius 137 (streaming 813)

Panthers’ keys:  Front seven will need to prioritize stopping Colts RB Marlon Mack.

Colts’ keys:  Offense must run through Mack while QB Jacoby Brissett must find a few plays downfield, something he has struggled to do consistently.

Who wins? Colts, despite recent struggles, will bounce back. Colts 22, Panthers 19
