Disagree. Ballard showed last year he is all about the lines. This DL class is loaded. If Ballard has a Top 5 pick, he will stay put and get Bosa or Oliver.

This is what would happen, but this whole discussion is moot. The Colts won't be drafting Top 5.

What teams do you think are a lock to finish w/fewer wins?

My list is AZ, SF, NYG, OAK, maybe BUF, maybe CLE.

I look at it differently because so much of a team's record is dependent on opponent strength. I look at how many games I expect the Colts to win and how often that record ends up picking Top 5. I see the Colts winning 6 games, which definitely puts them outside the Top 5.

A lot of people are down about yesterday, but I expected 2-3 performances like that going into the season. That game didn't have any impact on my projection for the team.

They will if they keep playing like they did yesterday.

You know better than to extrapolate one game out for the entire season. The Colts have scored one fewer TD than their opponents in 6 games. They are more likely to regress toward the mean, particularly with a softer schedule. They'll win 6 games, which will put them around pick 8-12.
