Archer Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I think 11-5, and a comfortable AFC South championship are good bets. However, I wouldn't be surprised by a much better season. Kind of pointless to predict every single game, given all the unknown factors that will affect each team in the league. Still, no reason for predicted losses versus the Pats and Broncos. The Colts will beat some of the league's better teams, like they did last year. They'll probably lose to teams we don't think they should...

superrep1967 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I think 10-6 is about right too. I see them losing at least one game in the South this year and two would not surprise me. I do believe the prediction is right that our Colts will start the season 0-2. Some teams never come back from that kind of start but I believe the Colts will.Why would they drop they brought in talent and got better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superrep1967 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if the Colts went 14-2 or 13-3. They do have an easier schedule this year. They play in the AFC south and face the NFC north. The only teams I see giving them a run for their money during the season are the Broncos, Pats, Eagles and Ravens. The Colts play the Pats, Eagles and Ravens all at home too. The Colts SHOULD capitalize on their easier schedule and get home field through out in the AFC in the playoffs.exactly!!

Loneranger Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Why would they drop they brought in talent and got better. So did everyone else and some brought in more and improved even more. The South is catching up to the Colts quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports Central1 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Injuries are a key determining factory often in a team's success and lack of success. No one really knows yet if Reggie Wayne will have lost a step or not. Has anyone seen Reggie play pre-season and practice? How's everything going with him? Will he be the same threat as he has been in the past? For example, now that the Pats have Revis they can put him on Wayne and focus on double teaming other Colts' WR's.
