2015 NFL predictions

AFC South

Do the Colts have Andrew Luck? Yep. So they’re going to be good. But if this team can’t protect him, it’s going to get rough. Mandatory Credit: Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports

Indianapolis Colts (15-1; 1st Place AFC South)

Story of the season – The Colts offense will be rolling this season and opponents will struggle to keep up.  It’s a relatively light schedule that features only a couple of teams that will pose any real challenge.  However, this is not a team built to win in the playoffs.  Their offensive line and defense still have some glaring issues and that is what will eventually bite them.

Houston Texans (6-10; 2nd Place AFC South)

Story of the season – The Texans will be starting the season without Arian Foster which will cripple their offensive ability.  Brian Hoyer is not the guy you want leading your team, so expect a limited passing game.  The defense features a couple of big names, but should not be confused with the dominant units under the Gary Kubiak regime.

Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11; 3rd Place AFC South)

Story of the season – The record won’t reflect the talent on this team.  Really, I like that Jags more than this, but their schedule is not a favorable one.  Jacksonville will play some tight games, but they’re still young and have yet to establish an identity.

Tennessee Titans (2-14; 4th Place AFC South)

Story of the season – There really isn’t much to like about the Titans right now.  They are a young and rebuilding team.  Marcus Mariota may be their future, but that won’t help them in the present.  The defense is beat up and void of much star talent.
