I think Indy is a case of everyone trying to get on the bandwagon before the hype is realized. The tacks won the offseason by spending like oilbarons, but it's yet to be seen whether Levis is legit or liability.

We'll get talk, thanks to Lawrence and Allen's new deals. We have the highest-paid QB in football now and have yet to finish a season more than a game over .500 - the narrative all season will be "was he worth it? Can he get them a return on the investment?"

Tinhorns are the darlings, I don't think anyone expected them to burst out the gate and get results as quickly as they did. Their challenge is to prove it wasn't a fluke.

I have a feeling nobody in the division is finishing with a 13-4 record. It's going to be hard-fought all the way to the end, but I certainly give Jax and Hou the upper hands in the fight.
