How to Watch the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Indianapolis Colts - NFL: Week 12 | Channel, Stream, Preview, Prediction

INDIANAPOLIS - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts might not have winning records, but they are still trying to hang in their respective playoff races when they meet up on Sunday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) vs. Indianapolis Colts (5-5)

The Colts come into Sunday with a level record, though it has not been a glorious set of games. After losing rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, Gardner Minshew stepped in, but has been inconsistent. The defense has had to bail out Indianapolis on a couple of occasions, most notably in their last game before the bye, when the Colts squeaked out a 10-6 win over the New England Patriots in Germany.

Indy returns to Lucas Oil having won just one of their five home games this season. They sit third in the AFC South, two games back of the Jacksonville Jaguars for first place, sitting one game back of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans for the last playoff spot in the conference.

Since a solid start to the season, the Buccaneers have not been able to string together wins, pushing them down the NFC South standings. Despite beating the Tennessee Titans two weeks ago, Tampa has lost five of their last six games, including getting handled by the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday. Another glaring issues, the Bucs have not won on the road in almost two months, and are just 2-3 away from home.

They are tied for second in the division with the Atlanta Falcons, one game behind the first-place New Orleans Saints. The Bucs are also 1.5 games back of the Minnesota Vikings for the last postseason position in the NFC.

This will be just the 16th all-time meeting between Tampa and Indy, with the Colts having gone 8-7 against the Buccaneers. The Bucs did come away with a 38-31 win with Tom Brady at the helm two years ago.

MY PICK: Buccaneers win, 27-25
