Only the Tennessee Titans (+17500) have worse odds in the AFC South, as even the Jacksonville Jaguars (+7000) are slightly favored favored over the Colts. For what it\u2019s worth, the reigning division champion Houston Texans are +2200.<\/p>\n
Right now, the Baltimore Ravens (+650) are the favorite followed by the Buffalo Bills (+750), Philadelphia Eagles (+750), Kansas City Chiefs (+800), and Kansas City Chiefs (+800) rounding out the Top 5 best odds.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to disagree with the Colts\u2019 below average league-wide odds right now, given it\u2019s a franchise that has veteran Daniel Jones as its Week 1 starter without a late offseason injury to its actual starter.<\/p>\n
The former 6th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft by the New York Giants was once a franchise quarterback hopeful, but having been largely underwhelming as of late, he\u2019s been on 3 NFL teams within the last 2 years.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s possible that Jones could benefit from a much needed change of scenery with offensive minded Colts head coach Shane Steichen and a stronger supporting cast than he recently had in New York. That being said, to-date, Jones has been largely erratic through 69 career starts, showing the same highs and lows that also arguably plagued since demoted 3rd-year quarterback Anthony Richardson.<\/p>\n
For what it\u2019s worth, the Colts seem to think that they have a good enough roster that with a more consistent starting quarterback who can effectively run the offense, they can at least earn a wild card playoff berth.<\/p>\n
That realistically seems like the best case scenario and well short of the Super Bowl sticks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Only the Tennessee Titans (+17500) have worse odds in the AFC South, as even the Jacksonville Jaguars (+7000)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2005,7,2004,392,5384,2381,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-310280","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-colts","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-indianapolis","11":"tag-indianapolis-colts","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts-odds","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115076082711597281","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
