The Colts<\/a> improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2014 with a 41-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans<\/a> and history says they currently have an 86.3% chance to make the playoffs.<\/p>\n

There have been 22 teams that have started 3-0 since the NFL went to a 14-team playoff system in 2020 and 19 of them have made the postseason. If the Colts<\/a> had lost to Tennessee on Sunday, their odds would have dropped to 64.3% as 36 of the 56 teams to start 2-1 since 2020 have made the playoffs.<\/p>\n
