AFC South Preseason Picks: Indianapolis Colts over Houston Texans, Jags, Titans
This division is about as boring as they come. It’s hard to get excited about anyone in the AFC South and has been for a while. The Indianapolis Colts are never flashy, the Houston Texans never live up to expectations, the Tennessee Titans are a decade removed from being relevant, and the Jacksonville Jaguars are hilarious.
1. Indianapolis Colts (13-3): With no one to really challenge them atop this division, the Indianapolis Colts are going to cruise. What’s more, they’ve gotten better. Andrew Luck is another year in, they brought in another huge receiving weapon, they have a proven veteran running back, and a heck of a coach. Yawn. Let’s move on.
2. Houston Texans (9-7): I wish I could trust this team, but without a quarterback they simply have too many unknowns. I like this defense, I think they’ll run the ball well again, but with a weak passing game they’ll be sure to disappoint in a few big games this year. Thank goodness for four easy wins to keep them relevant.
3. Tennessee Titans (5-11): Consistently below average is probably the best way to describe the Titans. Nothing stands out, but it could be worse – you could be the Jaguars.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-13): Every once in a while there’s that game that pops out and confuses you. Wow, the Jaguars actually won this week could happen a couple times. I know this sounds like a lazy write up, but if the Jags aren’t going to try, why should I?
