Despite 3-10 record, the Indianapolis Colts want to finish the season strong. Clark Wade/IndyStar
Five things I think ahead of the Indianapolis Colts (3-10) hosting the Denver Broncos (4-9) Thursday night at Lucas Oil Stadium (8:25 p.m., TV: NBC/NFL Network/Amazon Prime Video, Radio: Westwood One, WFNI-AM (1070), WLHK-FM (97.1)):
1) I think the real winner Thursday night is the team that loses.
If the draft was today, the Colts are slated to pick third overall – their highest since grabbing Andrew Luck the top spot in 2012 – and the Broncos fifth.
