NUMBER 2 – INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

The Indianapolis Colts are very scary. Everything hinges on Andrew Luck‘ s health, which was the case last year. Their defense is young and flooded with even more talent than last year’s squad, however.

If Luck’s shoulder and calf can hold up throughout the season, Indianapolis could be representing the AFC in the Super Bowl, that is how loaded they are. Quentin Nelson is a budding superstar and already one of the best guards in the league, Marlon Mack could see a sizable leap in his age-23 campaign, and the addition of Devin Funchess makes the passing attack even better.

Home field advantage is especially important in the National Football League, and the Colts now understand that after getting trounced on the frozen tundra of Arrowhead last year. With a little luck (no pun intended) and revenge, Indianapolis could be the ones hosting a playoff game.

Chiefs fans do not need a reminder of Andrew Luck at home in Indy in the playoffs.
