[CR91]

So late this year. 

[Indyfan4life]

I can’t wait to see us get one Thursday night game at Houston this year. 

[tweezy32]

I don't know. There's some potential late games. Lions, Steelers, Bills, Dolphins, Packers. Texans for sure

[Zoltan]

I’m hoping we play the Vikings in October or November, so I can attend.

That’s a game I will be going to as well

 

my bucket list is to see the Colts play in every NFL stadium

 

Im at 21 or 22.  Need to count it again

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Anyone want to put odds on if colts play in Houston game one. lol 

[BProland85]

I’m just hoping the Miami game is in October as that’s the likely game I’m driving up for. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Fun time of the offseason. Studying the schedule is always fun and trying to give early predictions what might be a win or a loss. I rank this the 5th best football day of the year only behind:

1. SB Sunday

 

2. NFC/AFC Title Game Sunday 

 

3. Opening Day = Opening Sunday because that is when most of the games are played to open the season.

 

4. First day of the Draft

 

5. Schedule day!

Just saying that I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s all we get. 

[indyagent17]

Last year we played a lot of division games early, I hope its more spread out this season. Can we finally get a win in Jax

Stephen Holder on the Wake up call with Kevin Bowen said that he was the 9th, tomorrow

[chad72]

Most likely I expect The Chiefs to play The Texans or The Bengals for game 1.

 

I hope we start with The Broncos.

I hope chiefs play Texans. Nothing more I would love than Texans losing game one in arrowhead.

Can you share where you see that?   I believe you, but would like to take a look myself.   I’m sure others would as well. 

[TrueBlue4ever]

I think the Denver game is away. I’m hoping for a trip to London vs. the Vikings in Tottenham Stadium!

With 9 Road games, that would serve as a neutral site also.

I live in Colorado. If the Colts play Denver week one here, I'm going to try and see the game with a friend. Probably will buy a Richardson jersey.

Craig….  I believe BProland lives in Tenn.   He’s shared that before, life for him as a Colts fan who lives in enemy territory. Tenn.   Just not sure which city?

Nope, he is wrong  . I have been hearing we start out at Denver (September 8th) but not confirmed yet.

Looking at the teams rosters. The top 4 teams going into the season in the AFC are Chiefs, Ravens, Bengals - Burrow is back is why, and the Texans. JMO. IMO, the Bills are going to be worse, lost too many players. Dolphins will probably win the East. Then there is a jam up between teams like the Jets if Rodgers stays healthy, Browns, Steelers, Jags, and Colts. 

 

The AFC is loaded, I can see the Colts battling for a 7th spot or with lady luck win the South and get in that way. Houston is going to be good though.

I'd say Chiefs are king until proven otherwise. Even as a Bengals fan, I'm pretty weary of Burrow's wrist injury since it's so unprecedented and it just doesn't seem like the team is as good as it was in the early stages of the rivalry. I think Cincy missed their chance to win a ring and it's over similar to Buffalo. I seriously just don't see how any team can really knock Kansas off unless they miss the playoffs entirely. 

 

So far, I'm thinking we barely miss the playoffs again (super early prediction) due to a very muddy AFC.

Your hated Steelers are going to be that fly that doesn't go away, I can bet on it.

 

Burrow's wrist injury, if he is fully recovered, with the FA and draft additions, they should be back at the top of the AFC North. Ravens lost a few key pieces on D and OL, IMO, though they always have a great floor, just not sure they can reproduce the same ceiling as last year game in and game out. 

 

Texans, on paper, should be a Top 2 seed in the AFC, with plenty of firepower and talent on both sides of the ball. But the games are not played on paper. Bills - unless Sean McDermott and his D evolves, I don't see them helping Josh Allen out when it matters but they did start a new identity with running the ball well for great balance towards the end of last season, so they will be a Top 4 team again because Allen is that good and Tua is not in the same breath as Allen in that division. 

 

Colts, the secondary question marks have to be compensated with the DL pass rush and AR and the offense staying on the field more, that is how we are going to win more close games to make the difference between 7 and 10 wins, IMO.

Yes. The Steelers will never go away. They'll be in the playoffs again thanks to a good draft and defense. Only way they miss is because of Wilson just imploding on a major scale. 

 

Many are putting the Browns as a contender, I don't see it. They were helped by the refs early in the season, and then Flacco played way above his physical ability (no offense Joe). I'm just not a believer in Watson. Never was and probably never will. The guy was outplayed by a "past his prime" vet and a 4th string QB.

Ravens will miss Mike McDonald, 100%. Joe Burrow's numbers vs Ravens before Mike McDonald was DC was much better, so don't be surprised if the Chiefs put up 30+ on the Ravens in the opening game and win a close one.

FWIW: I rank the Bengals 3rd in the AFC as of now with a healthy Burrow. I would go:

1. Chiefs

2. Ravens

3. Bengals

4. Texans

5. Dolphins

6. Steelers 

7. Colts

-That is of now. With AR back, I like the Colts better than the Jets even with Rodgers (he's old), Browns, and Jags. That is 10 teams I just mentioned. 

 

My bottom 6 teams are, I will go worst to 11th:

16. Patriots  

15. Broncos

14. Titans

13. Raiders

12. Chargers

11. Bills - Josh Allen should ask out of that dump!

 

Colts could definitely get a 7 seed and make the playoffs if AR stays healthy and the Colts stay healthy overall.

Oh what the heck, I'll show you my list as of right now before OTAs: 

 

1. Chiefs (Best player in the NFL, best coach in the NFL, arguably best defense in the NFL... good luck to the rest of us)

2. Ravens (Elite during the regular season, can they finally figure it out in the playoffs?)

3. Bengals (If Joe is legit healthy and back to normal). 

4. Dolphins (This is kind of a make it or break it year for Tua and company, they need to show up)

5. Texans (They have enough talent on paper, we'll see how it all gels together though)

6. Bills (Josh Allen is good enough to will this team to win games)

7. Steelers (They're just always a well-rounded team with consistent coaching)

8. Jaguars (Another well rounded team)

9. Jets (It's all or nothing with Rodgers)

10. Browns (Well rounded team but with Watson I just see them as slightly overrated)

11. Colts (We have to actually beat some playoff caliber teams this year, including Jax to move up)

12. Chargers (Had a good Harbaugh-wise draft, but who's Herbert going to throw to?)

13. Titans (Make big moves in the offseason, it's really all on Levis and Callahan to get the ball rolling)

14. Raiders (Minshew is a good story and fun, but we've seen his limitations, and Aiden wasn't exactly on fire last year)

15. Patriots (The team has a lot of issues that will take a few more years to figure out, but Maye and Mayo will be fun)

16. Broncos (Overrated head coach and dirty cheater mixed with the worst QB room in the NFL and few weapons)
