Predictions for Sunday vs. Broncos

[sandsoftime]

Alas, not going to be pretty - Broncos 37 Colts 13

[NewEra]

Me too!

Me tree!

[chad72]

Colts 27 Broncos 20

[JlynRN]

I'm smelling an upset here, just like back in 2012 when the Broncos came in undefeated, and we sent them home with their 1st loss of that season.

 

Colts - 27

Broncos - 24

[18Manning]

LOL, thought this was funny...

If no ty we lose bad

[RockThatBlue]

Don't see the game being close. I think the offense will be better, but not by much. Only way we have a chance is if bad Peyton shows up and throws 3 picks or so. I expect a blow out, but hope I am wrong.

[ColtStrong]

A win this week would get rid of some of the sour taste in my mouth, and reinvigorate my enthusiasm for the team. Then I'm going to the Colts/Falcons game on the 22nd. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

23-20 Colts in a shocker. Denver isn't going undefeated and they have to lose sometime so why not this week. Colts don't want to drop to 3-6 either. Denver is due for a loss and we have played them good in the Luck era.

A win this week could turn the season around because the rest of our schedule is much easier.

[gacker65]

if Luck doesn't throw any pick 6s, the 20-17 Colts

[WoolMagnet]

I really like some of the optimism here.....a pleasant surprise.

Come back sunday night about 8pm eastern.

It could be a WHOLE lot different.

[cranium cramp]

27-17 Colts. I have a feeling Gore and Bradshaw are going to have a coming out party..........I hope anyway. Surely Chud realizes you don't throw into the heart of that D if you don't need to. I think we pound the rock early, force the linebackers to respect the run. Draw in the safeties to open up passing lanes to get Andrew out of his funk.

I will avoid it like the plague....  .

[coltsfeva]

Is anybody frustrated because they KNOW the Colts are better than they've been playing? If they play like they are capable of, they have a legitimate shot to win this game...here's hoping:

Colts 21

Broncos 17

 

My only other hope is Denver beats NE, to gain homefield.

 

That would be best case scenario

[Lawrence Owen]

34-10 denver. I don't see our offense doing much against that D.  especially with both our 'burners' out.

[bobertlt29]

Colts D has had past success against Peyton. I actually think we can disrupt him a bit and probably cause at least one turnover. Ultimately, however, I don't see the Colts putting up more than 20 points even with improved play calling.

The first game Peyton was overcome with emotions from the ceremony.  The second loss came while Peyton was injured.  Have you guys forgot how good Peyton is? Hes finally come to a compromise with Kubiak and their defense will only get better.

[Architects08]

38-24 Donkeys

[JWF]

The team has won a few of these type games back in 2013 but since it's been a slew of slow starts. Just can't see it changing in one week or even half a season.

Broncos 27 Colts 14

[Shane Bond]

TY not playing sucks.

That Denver D is a lot better than what we played last time.

Only hope - Peyton pick sixes.

[Coltsman1788]

18 will extract a small measure of revenge. Peyton gets his records. Facing NFLs best defense and with no T.Y. Luck's struggles continue. Broncos by a minimum of two touchdowns.

[JPFolks]

I think it will be a low scoring game, but that Luck outperforms Aaron Rodgers (it would be hard not to).  I am not sure of the health of our corners and safeties, but assuming they are game ready, I predict he won't break the passing yard record as much as everyone in the media is dying for him to.  

 

If Luck has no turnovers, we can win.  26-17.  

 

If Luck has 1 turnover, we can squeeze out a last second win 21-20.  

 

If Luck has 2 or more turnovers and/or the Denver D scores, it will be ugly, Denver 30-10.  

[NewEra]

If we can play keep away with long sustaining drives I can see us winning. On D just pressure the crap out of Manning. Last I heard their line wasn't all that great. Just hit him on every play.

[will426]

I just don't see Peyton doing anything against us well he'll pick on toler but that's it. And thier Oline sucks too much to run over us.. So I pick us to win for sure lol

exactly Peyton is all timing we've done a solid job every game vs him he only had good games when we starting losing corners like flies

It didn't suck to run on a better D then ours the packers

[Shane Bond]

Wish we had this much optimism when we played Pats

[will426]

It didn't suck to run on a better D then ours the packers

it wasn't even that good of a rushing day lol that was thier first complete game and they ran good because of Peyton passing the ball

[Colts_Fan12]

it wasn't even that good of a rushing day lol that was thier first complete game and they ran good because of Peyton passing the ball

that don't change the fact that the packers are 50 times better then us

[James Harden]

Whalen the X-factor?

[runthepost]

it wasn't even that good of a rushing day lol that was thier first complete game and they ran good because of Peyton passing the ball

When in the world is 160 yards on the ground not good?

[will426]

that don't change the fact that the packers are 50 times better then us

offensively yes defense not really

[will426]

When in the world is 160 yards on the ground not good?

thier passing opened it up smh and with the lead ofc you can run but that's ONE Game

[peytonmanning18]

27-13 Denver

[runthepost]

thier passing opened it up smh and with the lead ofc you can run but that's ONE Game

They are getting 100 yards 3 out of the last 4 games

[will426]

They are getting 100 yards 4 out of the last 5 games

watch the games they have the lead when they run...as usual with a lead almost every runs the ball during that time do you see how many attempts it takes to reach that??

[krunk]

that don't change the fact that the packers are 50 times better then us

Can u explain why the panthers are marching the ball up and down the field on the Packers? Meanwhile the Packers are getting stuffed. Carolina spent much of that Monday night game getting stuffed and 3 and out by us. Why isnt Green Bay getting it done bro?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Wish we had this much optimism when we played Pats

I think it's because we match up better with Denver and haven't beat the Pats since Luck has been here. We are 2-1 against Peyton as you know. Having said that this Denver Defense has been the best one Peyton has had in Denver. Not having TY today hurts but I wont go back on my prediction and still stick to 23-20 Colts. I usually pick us every week anyway. So putting stock in my Colts picks isn't wise. I pick with my brain on all other picks like picking Denver over GB last week.

Maybe the Packers are overrated? Rodgers is a front runner and if he gets behind by the 4th qtr., we know he loses the majority of those games???

 

Besides, I do feel the Colts are better than people give them credit for. Smart money is Vegas says that Luck always covers as an underdog, always. Luck is 100% in covering odds as an underdog. So it means a very close Broncos win at best, according to smart money. In other words, forget the blow out predictions.

weather was a huge factor in our game had we had clear weather like today's games the panthers game wouldn't have been as close
