This is just a guess, but I think this is how it works:
It has to do with the way the schedule is done. One year the AFC East teams played the AFC South and it was the Pats "turn" to host the Colts. The other, they both finished the previous year in first place, so they played each other and the schedule was pre-determined that the 1st place AFC East team would play at home.
