If they don't tank, the Colts are too talented to go 1-15.

Their offensive line alone would probably help them to two wins.

I would be thrilled to see Tennessee go 4-12.  Not sure I see it happening.

Why do you think they have such a drop off this year?

Not sure I see Buffalo doing so poorly, either, though few things would give me more satisfaction than to see Buffalo stink to high heaven like that.  I think they have a very good defense, which will keep them in a lot of games.

I definitely don't see Pittsburgh going 14-2.

Why do you think Cleveland beats Jacksonville in Jacksonville?

Yeah, your top and bottom records are insane. Half the league at least is going to finish in the 6 to 10 win range and you only have 9 teams in that range. 3 teams winning 14 games when only 5 teams have won that many or more in the past 10 seasons. 4 teams finish with 1 win when only 3 teams have won that many or fewer in the past 10 seasons. Over a quarter of the league winning/losing 2 or fewer games is crazy, no team did either last season.

I mean, all this is theoretically possible but it seems like you're putting too much stock into the "better" team always winning their matchup. Arizona was complete garbage last season and managed to win 3 games. We might have fielded one of the worst rosters ever in 2013 and still managed to win 4 games.

I definitely don't see Pittsburgh going 14-2.

Why do you think Cleveland beats Jacksonville in Jacksonville?

Maybe the Colts will win more than one game. Even with a halfway decent QB, they should win 6 or 7, but Brissett is terrible. 

Tennessee lacks a decent starting QB and a consistent run game. Their defense is a little better, but they aren't dominating enough to overcome the shortfalls on the offensive side of the football. If they end up starting Tannenhill over Mariota at some point in the season, I can see them winning 6-7 games. He is a better QB. 

I am not a Josh Allen fan (Buffalo QB). He is not accurate, the Bills lack receiving threats, the O-Line is not good and they have old RB's. I would be shocked if they won over 5 games. 

I think Pittsburgh is gonna be much better than people think. Maybe not 14-2, but they have a pretty easy schedule. 

I have Cleveland beating Jacksonville based on the fact that they have a much better QB, WR's, a more dynamic runner in Chubb and a better O-Line. I would love for us to win, but we are not a complete team yet on offense. I'd be thrilled with just making the playoffs though. Sometimes you just need to take baby steps.

I haven't taken the time to look at the other teams' schedules yet. But I think our division is more likely to have 4 teams clustered around .500 than to have the spread you're suggesting.  10-6, 9-7, 8-8, 6-10 (colts).  The other three of us is pic 'em.  Jacoby's a better qb than you're suggesting.  I expect Jags to finish 1st or 2nd.

As for the Cleveland game, I don't think Baker's a clearly better qb than Foles.  I do like their WRs better, but our secondary is better.  RBs are a wash, though I love me some Chubb (Go Dawgs!).  If healthy, I like our O-line better.  And though they have a good defense, it ain't the Jags defense!  No, we win that game in Jacksonville.

Not singling you out because I have been thinking of posting this in a separate thread, but since you brought it up, here goes:

How would you rank the QBs in the AFC South now that Luck has retired?

I would rank them:

1.  Foles-Won a Super Bowl MVP;  4-2 playoff record

2.  Watson-Capable of lighting up the scoreboard.  Needs better blocking and to get rid of the ball quicker

3.  Mariota-on the verge of being a bust, though I still don't think he's a bad QB

4.  Tannehill-could be above Mariota before the year is out

5.  Brissett

4.  Tannehill-could be above Mariota before the year is out

5.  Brissett

I like what I've seen of Brissett.  He's got a good long ball and he has good instincts.  I like his resiliency and leadership.  And given a year on the sideline under Reich, I expect him to look much better than the up and down we saw when he was thrown into starting after the trade from NE.  Just on intangibles and athleticism, he's even with or slightly ahead of Mariota and Tannehill.  Mariota's not bad; he's just not good, either.  And Tannehill teases you with flashes of good play, but he's inconsistent and injury prone.  This is my ranking, and I admit I'm projecting growth in Brissett since the last time we saw him get playing time:

1.  Foles, on experience and talent.

2.  Watson, on talent.  I think his ceiling is higher, but he's not there yet.

3.  Brissett, by a nose.

4.  Mariota.

5.  Tannehill.

AFC South:

1.  Tinhorns.
2.  Jags.  (If the offense gels, we should win the division.)
3. Tacks.
4.  Colts.

5.  Brissett

Watson and Foles are very close. I'd almost have them at a dead heat. Foles has better instincts and is more accurate, but Watson is way more athletic and can run around and buy time in the pocket and make plays with his legs. He also has the best receiver in the NFL to throw to. Neither QB is elite though, which pretty much shows the state of the division right now. After these two I would say....

3. Tannenhill
4. Mariota
5. Brissett

I think Brissett throws the ball pretty good, he just holds onto it too long with under pressure. He’s the man this year for Indy Nation.

And once again....Colts will get another #1 QB in the draft.
