46. . 12-5. . Indianapolis Colts. 1. team

Colts will win the AFC South

The Indianapolis Colts will finally be back on top of the division for the first time since 2014. That season was the year they advanced to the AFC Championship and lost to the New England Patriots.

Finally getting a leader that is not on the brink of retirement in the locker room at the most important position makes the difference. Matt Ryan will lead the team to a successful record of 12-5 and bring a talented group of wide receivers with him to glory.

It won’t be MVP numbers from Ryan, and Taylor won’t get as recognized as he was in 2021, mostly because Ryan is able to successfully spread the ball around.

However, Indianapolis will still need to rely on the ground game in big moments to control the clock and solidify wins. If Indy can continue to do that, they will be ready for a playoff run.

Ryan should be able to run the offense well as he now has his most talented roster since coughing up Super Bowl 51 in 2017.

If there is one player that is not in the AFC East that hates the New England Patriots as much as the Indianapolis Colts, it’s Matt Ryan. They are now joined together and can help each other return to the big game.
