4. Jonathan Taylor Will Continue to Ball

Jonathan Taylor is coming off of his best game this season. Taylor was given the ball 14 times last week and managed 145 yards and 2 touchdowns. Taylor showed his full potential with this breakout performance and will look to carry that momentum into Week 7.

Last week the Colts faced one of the worst rushing defenses in the league. Houston allows over 140 rushing yards per game to opposing backs. While the 49ers are a much better team than the Texans, their rushing defense has some flaws. San Francisco has allowed over 110 rushing yards per game and Indianapolis will look to exploit this.

Taylor is a great back and will be looking to silence the haters in this match up. He leads a strong backfield and will have the opportunity to take over this game. Expect the second year back to keep balling out and play a crucial role in this game.

3. Michael Pittman Will Continue to Struggle

Many people had Michael Pittman pegged to have a breakout year this season. Pittman has been having a solid season so far. The second year receiver has been taking strides in the right direction but has had his struggles.

Michael Pittman has yet to cement himself as a top receiver in the league. He's coming off one of his worst games of this season. He caught 2 balls for 35 yards and did not have a big impact on the game. This was in part to the ease with which Indianapolis could run the ball. But the game plan for Week 7 will probably be similar to Week 6.

The Colts will look to establish their run game early. Unfortunately this will limit opportunity for Pittman and most of the other receivers on the team. This will be a run heavy game and unfortunately that means Pittman won't have a chance to breakout.

2. Wentz Will Lead The Colts to Victory

The Colts are a good team. They have been competitive with some of the best teams across the league. Their 2-4 record doesn't reflect the difficulty of their schedule. Indianapolis lost two games by a single possession to two of the best teams in the league, the Rams and the Ravens.

Leading Indianapolis has been Carson Wentz. Wentz finally appears to have bounced back. He has been having a phenomenal season. The sixth year quarterback has taken advantage of the fresh start, throwing for over 1500 yards, 9 touchdowns, and only 1 interception.

Carson Wentz is back in a big way and will be a very important part of this game. He has shown that he can still lead a team and that will continue into Week 7. The 49ers have a tough passing defense, but Wentz is up to the challenge. Look for the big quarterback to make some big plays.

1. The Colts Defense Will Decide This Game

Indianapolis has a very solid offense. With Wentz, Taylor, and Pittman they have more than enough talent on the offensive end. The deciding factor of this game will be the defense. Last week Indianapolis held the Texans to only 3 points. However, this isn't the most accurate depiction of the defense since Houston has one of the worst offenses in the league.

The Colts have been right in the middle of the pack defensively. They rank 20th in total yards allowed and have struggled to be consistent this season. This game will largely be determined by which Colts defense shows up on Sunday night.

The 49ers offense is top 15 in the league in total yards. With a healthy backfield and fresh off a bye week they will look to run the ball early. If the niners can run the ball then the Colts will have a tough time on Sunday. Indianapolis has a great offense and if their defense shows up on Sunday night then fans should feel good about this game.
