Wow this crow tastes great!

I underestimated the Colts' defense.

Perhaps we can have this as an ongoing thread for the 2025 season ??? The title of the thread is apt for it, even if the OP's original intentions were to specifically and only discuss the predictions for the first game of the season ...... maybe the moderators can put (2025 Season) in parenthesis in the thread title to augment it (Sunday Predictions, 2025 Season).

Broncos (1-0) at Colts (1-0)

4:05 p.m. ET | CBS | Matchup rating: 54.9/100

ESPN BET: DEN -1.5 (43.5 O/U)


What We're Hearing on the Broncos: l A Colts offense that scored on all seven possessions in the team's Week 1 win has the attention of the Broncos' defense, with coach Sean Payton calling it "impressive." Denver leads the league in several defensive categories after its win and will look to make QB Daniel Jones less comfortable than he was in his 22-of-29, 272-yard performance against Miami. Coordinator Vance Joseph likes to blitz early and often -- typically with five-man pressures. But Jones repeatedly punished the Dolphins, who had the second-highest blitz rate (48.5%), so Denver will have to be judicious. (Jeff Legwold)


What We're Hearing on the Colts: l New defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo put Miami in the spin cycle with a masterful game plan and savvy blitz calls. But he acknowledges the challenge against Payton will be a difficult one. "He's just always changing within the game, going to have things specific to your team that he's playing against. [He] does just a great job calling the game and trying to keep you off balance." The Colts held Miami to 211 total yards and produced three turnovers, but this will be one of the week's more interesting game-within-the-game situations as these two play-callers match wits. (Stephen Holder)


Stat to Know: l Broncos QB Bo Nix has had five games with multiple interceptions since the start of last season, tied with Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay) for most in the NFL in that span. (ESPN Research Team)


Bold Prediction: l Colts WR Josh Downs will bounce back after a quiet Week 1 and deliver a 70-plus-yard day. With CB Pat Surtain II presumably taking away an outside receiver, Downs should get more looks in the slot. (Seth Walder)

Jones and Ward both out.

I was in Denver last year. F THAT! Just enough...20 13 colts

Nah...20-9 Coats

I can't imagine we only give up 9. at best I am hoping for 20 and under.

Did you see Bo Nix against the Titans? They should've scored 30+ in that game. They only scored 20. If the same Bo Nix and Daniel Jones show up tomorrow, the Colts should win big.

I don't trust the colts defense at all. I am hopeful but I don't think they will be as good as they were last week.


also don't trust DJ to play as well against the Denver defense.


we will see but week 1 results don't guarantee week 2 results. the colts should have blown the doors off the Giants last year. guess what happened?

That is a fair assessment

Coats 23
Ugly Horses 18

denver 20

colts 13

Colts 24, Donkeys 16

Colts 27-17

Colts 16 Broncs 13

Ouch. That's going to hurt. Donks 24-20.

I have no feel for who this Colt team actually is. Like Omaha said I am not sure what kind of defense we actually have here (I think it is much improved both in terms of players on the back end and coaching) and need to see DJ play with some pressure on him. Colts 24-17 but its just pulling numbers out of my ass because I want to believe

Latu won't play either

Oh fuck. Well Donks 30-17 then.
