Gino Bottero: Occam's razor - the simplest explanation is likely the correct one. In Andrew Luck's three seasons of professional football, the Colts have won no fewer than 11 games, including winning the South by an average margin of three games in the last two seasons. Indianapolis retooled in the offseason, and the other three teams in the division are in various stages of rebuild. It doesn't make for a pretty ticket, but the smart money's on Indianapolis. Colts -450 (Pinnacle)
Caitlyn Holroyd: The Colts have one thing the rest of the division doesn't: Andrew Luck. Since drafting Luck in 2012, the Colts have posted a combined record of 33-15 and advanced one round further in the playoffs in each of those three seasons. The additions of Frank Gore, Andre Johnson, Trent Cole, Todd Herremans, and rookie Phillip Dorsett should have Indianapolis cruising to a division title for the third consecutive year. Colts -450 (Pinnacle)
David P. Woods: Just take the Colts and start planning for what you'll buy with that sweet, sweet unit you're a lock to win. Colts -450 (Pinnacle)
