The experts don't seem to be too high on the Colts.
Are they right?
What's up, y'all?
I'm Ross Johnston with A to Z Sports and NFL Media "experts" predicted every team's twenty twenty-six record in the regular season, and here are their predictions for the Indianapolis Colts.
We had three people pick the Colts to go nine and eight, one at eight and nine, and then some troublesome records.
And I'm not sure what Brooke is thinking at three and four team because I don't see that happening.
But what I will say is I think Colleen Wolfe's seven and ten prediction is right.
I don't see the Colts winning more than seven games this year.
Now, a reason to be optimistic, there's two.
One, if Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce show that they are healthy early on in the season and they can sustain the full seventeen-game schedule in the season and play well, I think the Colts could have a pretty good record right around that nine and eight, maybe even ten and seven mark.
Also, Shane Steichen, say what you want about him, he has gotten the most out of his teams dang near every year.
Last year was obviously a debacle with Jones getting hurt, but Shane Steichen has them competing every year.
My issue is with the Colts draft and again, Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce's injury concerns.
I don't know what's gonna happen with them this year.
I don't know if they will be fully healthy for most of the season.
I don't know if they will play good most of the season because of some of these health ailments that they've got going on.
So I'm not too high on the Colts this year.
I think seven and ten, maybe eight and nine is a safe bet because they do compete every single year, but I cannot see them getting into the playoffs and I'm curious what y'all have to think in the comments.
