But we're not playing the NFC South, so why out of all the other 2nd place NFC teams do we get them and not a team from the North or East?

It is the same place finisher from the opposite conference division in a rotation to deconflict with the rotating play against an entire division.

In 2020, we played the NFC North
In 2021, we play the NFC West with the same place finisher from the NFC South
In 2022, we play the NFC East with the same place finisher from the NFC North
In 2023, we play the NFC South and the same place finisher from the NFC West
In 2024, we play the NFC North and the same place finisher from the NFC East

When they add an 18th game and then 19th game, it will probably follow the same format as the same place finisher in the opposing conference.

GO COLTS !!

That’s pretty much how I see it also, except I expect a loss on our opener to Seattle. It will be tough to beat a good team when we have a new QB and new LT. We couldn’t even beat Jacksonville last year on our opener. Hopefully we can make up for it by sweeping the Titans and winning our division.

I’d say anywhere from 7-12 wins, depending on how they make it through that brutal first month.

Over/Under for Total Colts Wins on FanDuel Sportsbook is 9.5
I just put $100 on the over at -135 odds. If Colts win 10 get $174.08 :cool:

I have 12-5 for the year :cool:

I have the Colts at about 11 wins. We have a damn tough schedule early on.

i think 10 or 11 wins.

i also hate the extra game

I like the bet to win the division as well

I'm seeing 9-10 wins, and I'm not normally that pessimistic. I guess I'm not excited yet about Carson Wentz.
