I chose the Raiders for the overachieve in the AFC (Eagles in NFC). I debated the Jets and Jags, but I just think higher of Carr.
I chose the Colts for my underachieve in the AFC (Cowboys in NFC). Why? Matt Ryan actually has something to do with it. He has next to no mobility and Wentz had to be respected in his ability to pull the ball and run. He is much more mobile than he gets credit for. Beat the 49ers -despite really poor field conditions (rain). He made some key plays scrambling and moving the chains with his legs. The Colts are relying big time on Johnathon Taylor, but he carried the ball 332 times last year and also had 40 receptions. That is a pretty huge load. And while their defense has some studs like Leonard, I still think they have a porous secondary, especially at safety.
On paper, their roster looks fine, but I think even their sorry division will be better in 2022 and they will be playing the entire AFC West. I doubt they will be favored in any of those games. I like Matt Ryan as a guy, but to win with a statue you better have pro-bowl tackles (they don't) and a ton of weapons (they also don't).
TY Hilton was getting up there in years, but he hasn't re-signed as of yet and their depth chart has Alec Pierce as a starting outside receiver. That is why I threw down a little coin on him to be OROTY....has huge odds. Not as huge as Tyler Linderbaum....(+32000!) That was worth $10. Pierce was +5600.
If anything you are helping me out and I need it for the Bills thread. Gonna go to their website and do some research
today. Great point once again with Matt Ryan and how he is not near as mobile as Wentz, same with JT and the Colts
relying so much on him. What if he goes down? Dude is a great RB but cannot be an entire Offense.
Also forgot that the Colts play the entire AFC West. That is rough.

EDIT: There was supposed to be a ninja at the end there, but my laptop is doing some screwy shit and won't allow me to attach it...
We caught it JFK.
