4. Indianapolis Colts

The last time the Colts played the Cardinals was in 2013 in Arizona.  The Cardinals defeated the Colts handily 40-11 that day.

This will be the Cardinals first trip to Indianapolis since 2006.  The Cardinals have only won once in Indianapolis when they were still the St. Louis Cardinals in 1984.  That game was played in the old Hoosier Dome.

The Colts have been a model of inconsistency recently.  Quarterback Andrew Luck will be entering his sixth NFL season in 2017.  Last season he struggled a bit, throwing just 23 touchdowns against 18 interceptions.

The Cardinals have never played in Lucas Oil Stadium, so that will be a new experience for them. This could turn out to be one of the more entertaining games of the season.  Certainly another Cardinals blowout victory is not too much to ask is it?
