How MockSlate counts travel miles

Every game is a round trip from Lucas Oil Stadium to the game venue, as the crow flies, rounded to ten miles. A home game counts zero; a neutral or international site counts from home even when the Colts are the designated home team. Rest days are the days since the previous game, a short week is fewer than seven, and the body clock is the kickoff in Colts home time. Back-to-back road games are flagged rather than modeled as one trip. All 32 teams ranked →

Indianapolis Colts rest advantage 2026 by week

Since 2002, home teams win 56% of games with even rest. With a rest edge of three days or more that rises to 58%. On the short side of three days or more it drops to 53%.

Edge is the Colts’ rest days minus the opponent’s. Green is an edge, red a deficit, white even. Week 1 has no edge. Thursday games usually show 0: both teams are on a short week, so the edge cancels out.

Colts’ season rest edge is -6, 24th in the league, through the scheduled weeks.

NFL win rate by rest advantage since 2002

Every regular-season game from 2002 to 2025 after Week 1, bucketed by the home team’s rest edge over the visitor. The win rate is the home team’s, so the Even row is the plain home-field baseline to read the others against.

5,838 games bucketed: 6,223 in the file minus 383 Week 1 games and 2 later games where a team had no earlier game that season. Ties count as half a win.

Indianapolis Colts hardest stretch of the 2026 schedule

The Colts’ hardest three-game stretch is Weeks 7 to 9: @MIN, @JAX, DAL, at an average model win chance of 39%, 14th hardest three-game run in the league. Difficulty is 100 minus each game’s win chance, so home field and rest are already counted.
