Prediction
Indianapolis Colts OVER 11 (-112) Season Wins
The
Indianapolis Colts are an organization that likes to win, but more
importantly, make a great effort in the offseason to put themselves in a
great position to win. The Colts made a huge acquisition in the
offseason by picking up Andre Johnson from the Houston Texans. Looking
purely on recent statistics, this isn’t a huge gain for the Colts.
However, the numbers are deceiving based on the quarterback woes the
Texans have gone through recently. Johnson will now play with one of the
best quarterbacks in the NFL in Andrew Luck and will not be the only
threat in the wide receiver position. Speaking of Luck, he has been the
best quarterback to come out of the NFL Draft with a ton of hype and
actually live up to the hype since Peyton Manning. In hindsight, the
Colts drafting Luck and letting Manning go was absolutely brilliant. The
Colts had an excellent season last year despite being blown out by the
New England Patriots in what is now known as Deflate Gate. The running
back position is the huge question mark for this upcoming season. They
picked up Frank Gore so we will see how he performs and holds up during
the season. If this Colts team can enter the playoffs with everyone
healthy, they are my pick to win the AFC Conference.
