OUR PREDICTION: The Colts still have an outside shot of winning the AFC South and securing a playoff spot, so I expect that they’ll give the Raiders their best effort. Frank Gore is having another solid season and he should find some open space against an Oakland run defense that ranks 25th in the NFL, allowing 116.9 yards per game on the ground. Andrew Luck was dealing with multiple injuries earlier in the week but isn’t on the Colts’ injury report this week. I think this is a field goal game either way.
