Week 1 predictions

Recommended Posts

 

 2023

 In the beginning...

I believe we have a brilliant mind leading our team. 

A season of teaching, evaluating, another off season, adding a few more critical pieces, and by mid-season 2024 we will know things are much better.

 For those that get to watch us closely, enjoy some replay to see more of the overall action, I think you will see many young players with real potential.

 Yes, a whole lot to root for.

  I will attempt to wait a day to hold my tongue. And I of course am very ready to add to my very long list of the nattering negative nabob "Ignored". 

 Most I can tell don't watch the game very close, nor really know what they are seeing. What a total waste for me to give them my time.

What is that all about?

I always see three potential outcomes to any game, so I ask;

1.) Which team could get blown out? J45-C13

2.) What would the score be if the underdog wins? C24-J23

3.) What is the most common perceived outcome? J31-C17

 

My heart wants #2, my football IQ says #3, my fear is #1.

 

I'll go with my HEART! :rock:

 

WHY?: The generic #3 outcome is a hold over from Franks offense. I believe Shane is going to offensive game plan better than Frank! :cheers:

There is a few reasons why  I give colts a chase. First it’s game one. First games of the season always are unpredictable. You really don’t know who is bad or good until about week 4. Second there is no film on Richardson. Third it’s at golf where jags haven’t won in a while.  We will see if these 3 things ring true for week one. If we lose I think it will be because colts young corners can’t stop the jags offense.

If my math is correct, 94% of these predictions will be wrong.  No one will care about the other 5%.

 

Genius!

Last year I picked at a 64% rating - below my standards, in 2021, I was at around 70% - I like the 70% mark, that is my goal every year. It is tough to pick games now days. Jags are favored and should be. When picking or betting, you can't go with your heart but here I am picking the upset. Colts 20-17. I could be wrong and we may get blown out, but I usually have 1 upset special every week, this is mine.

    • Packers fans can tell me about Joe Barry that was their DC from 2021-23. They were always in the Top 12-15 range in terms of points per game as opposed to the Colts.   But the year 2021, the Colts were on par because we ran the ball well and possessed it well. Not so much in 2022, and 2023 was a bit of defensive regression for decent possession of the ball from Bradley’s unit.   Brandon Staley is another name but I’d prefer Jon Barry for his units to generate pressure. Otherwise we’d have to look at college like Packers getting the Boston College HC.   I’m a fan of Jim Leonhard that was a heck of a defensive coach / DC at Wisconsin, and is now a DB coach with Broncos. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs DB coach has done an outstanding job there and was interviewed for DC by 49ers.   My pick would be Jim Leonhard or Dave Merritt.    
    • You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.
    • What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields. 
    • I don’t know enough of the position coaches on other teams to say who is worthy of promotion. Best to keep an eye out on head coaches on the hot seat and their staffs. 
    • Sadly also changing my Colts pick.. 😞   Steelers 21 vs Colts 17
