Week One Colts vs. Rams Prediction Thread

[RockThatBlue]

I want the Colts to win but I have a hard time thinking Tolzein will do much against that defense.

 

I'll say Rams win 21-17. I think it'll be an ugly game with not a whole lot of scoring.

[AKB]

I think it will be low scoring, but if we can contain their run game I think we pull out a win. I wouldn't be surprised to see Brisset on a couple two minute drives. He did really well running up-tempo in NE. 

[horseshoecrabs]

I think we can win this game!

[jvan1973]

If the d can contain Gurley,  I think we win.     Low scoring game I'm guessing

[pgt_rob]

It's going to be awful. I think we score 1 Rushing TD and Vinny kicks a field goal. 

 

17-10 Rams

[AZColt11]

Colts fight valiantly but ultimately fall short.  I'll go Rams 17-13.

[1959Colts]

Rams 11 - Colts 3

[#12.]

31-10, Rams, courtesy of multiple TOs.

[NagelHausForge]

Might be so ugly that both teams go into the negative...

 

Hard to really predict this one... I guess I will be the cockeyed optimist and say Colts squeak one out 20 to 17.

[NorthernBlue]

I think the Colts keep it close for 3ish quarters, but the Rams do a better job keeping the chains moving and extending drives, which will eventually lead to LA pulling ahead by way to much in the fourth quarter. I just don't see the Colts doing a good job keeping drives moving.

 

 Rams win 27-10.

[csmopar]

Colts go into half time, trailing 42-0, Luck gets so mad, he knocks out Pagano, grabs a helmet runs out the field to start the third quarter. Then plays MLB on Defense cause he doesn't hold anything back, Colts tie the game with 11 seconds left in the 4th, they kick an onside kick, recover it, Luck throw a beautiful 44 yd TD as time expires to The Ghost, Colts win 48-42. 

 

 

 

 

Hey a man can dream right?

[ricker182]

Colts - 3  

Rams - More than 3

[chad72]

Pats-Rams SB score is what I predicted in the Tolzien thread (how many TDs he will throw thread).

 

20-17 Colts

 

 

[JRnINDY]

I believe the Colt win the turnover battle and the game.

Colts 20 - Rams 10

Colts 16 Rams 13

Marlon Mack rush TD + 3 Vinatieri FG

[indy1888]

I am with you, I am going to go out on a limb and say we pull it off without Andrew. I have 17-13 in mind I don't want to copy your score but you are right on IMO.

Well Andrew has been down 38-10 in the Playoffs even and came back, you never know??

Week 1's suck honestly. We have zero reference on how good or bad we are.

 

I wouldn't be shocked with a 13-10 win or a 28-7 loss.

[Bluefire4]

With our inexperienced defense and the improvement Jared Goff made from last year, I can see the Rams putting up plenty of points.

[Yoshinator]

This game seems winnable on the surface, but the Rams defense is still strong without Aaron Donald, and Gurley is their strong offensive weapon which also is against our defensive weakness. I think Gurley scores two tds on us and Goff does just enough to keep us off the field along with the defense. Just don't see Tolzien working any magic this game. Gore or Mack gets us a td, but it's not enough and we lose 24-10.

 

We may win a game with Tolzien, but this one isn't it.

[IndyScribe]

It'll be an ugly game. The Rams O won't be able to get going. Their D will stop the Colts Offense. It comes down to whose offense can suck less.

I honestly think the only QB or RB that will get going is Gurley, and they'll wear us out in the run game and break us down. It'll be an ugly game, but I expect something like what the Titans try and do to us in the run game, except we are in much worse shape this time.

This is very true. At least it is the Rams with a inexperienced QB so it is a winnable game.

Rams in a Blowout.

Yeah, we're good at making guys HOF's.

 

Goff will look like Marino and Gurley will look like a young Barry Sanders.

[Indyfan4life]

I predict that we’ll find out on Sunday. 

 

I literally cannot be wrong. 

[IinD]

I just don't want to see them get GASHED in the run game on D.

 

I still have nightmares over that Oak game where they ran for 10 a clip.

If there's severe lightning all day or something you could be!

[azcolt]

Rams 45, Colts 0

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Rams 20, Colts 6

[2006Coltsbestever]

I changed my mind. I originally said 17-13 Colts. I will now say 41-3 Colts.

[DaveA1102]

Colts get 3 turnovers (one of which is returned for a TD by Wilson).  One comes at the end of the game with John Simon smashing Goff into the dirt, the ball comes loose and Farley gets it to close out the game.

 

Colts win 20-13.

[Jason_]

Colts - 17

Rams - 12

Jared Goff hasnt gotten better he only really have 2 weapons watkins and gurley tbh

[ukcolt12]

24 20 in Rams favour 

 

 

[coltsfeva]

20 - 13 Colts

[Dingus McGirt]

Colts win 3-2 on a last second field goal by AV.

[OHColtfan]

Slow their run game & make our run game work- Colts 17-14 .... then again Gurley runs over us like ants and Tolzien can't complete a pass more than 7 yards- Rams 31-10
