The Indianapolis Colts hit the road to face the undefeated Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football. The Colts are desperate for a win, but face a tough challenge against one of the better defenses in the NFL this week.
While the Panthers appear to be a great team, thanks to their record, the numbers paint a slightly different picture. First, the Panthers have benefitted from a very favorable schedule and have yet to face a team with a winning record (not that the Colts qualify in that regard). They get to face the two worst divisions in football this season as well: the NFC South and AFC South (as well as the mess that is the NFC East).
