I don't think it matters if they play everyone because we beat them either way.
But consider the stakes for Indy. Obviously it is meaningless for their playoff postition, but if the Colts win this Game they are still playing Baltimore and then a road game in Denver if they win.
If they lose this week 17 game they are playing Baltimore and then a road game in Houston who would be trying to beat them for the 3rd time in 5 weeks.
If I am Indy, not only do I not try to win this one, I might actively throw it.
