It's the Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts on Wild Card weekend. The Chiefs and Colts face off in the playoffs for the fourth time in their shared history, with Indy having won all three of the previous games. The Colts are the home team as the game will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium and they are 2.5-point favorites entering the match-up.
The Chiefs and Colts are both 11-5 on the season. Kansas City started out 9-0 then limped to a 2-5 finish down the stretch.
The Chiefs have not won a playoff game since January 16, 1994, nearly 20 years. They are hoping to break the curse by beating the Colts this weekend. The Chiefs could not beat the Colts two weeks ago when they played at Arrowhead. Indy won that Week 16 game 23-7, which was the Chiefs biggest loss (by points) of the season.
