Indianapolis Colts 2010 NFL Predictions & 2011 Super Bowl Predictions: Point-Spreads.com is breaking down the Indianapolis Colts out of the AFC South Division. The 2010 NFL Predictions Experts at online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Indianapolis Colts +750 odds to win Super Bowl XLV.
PROS: Peyton Manning is now 34 years old but remains the benchmark for quarterbacks in the current NFL. He earned his fourth NFL MVP Award in 2009 and is unquestionably the most important player on the Colts roster. Keeping him healthy is the top responsibility of the Indianapolis Colts offensive line and they did a great job in 2009 as Manning was sacked a career low of 10 times. Also contributing to the passing success of the Colts is a receiving corps led by Pro Bowl selections Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark.
The defense ranked eighth in the NFL in points allowed and was able to overcome injuries to a number of key players. All Pro defensive end Dwight Freeney remains the leader of the unit while linebacker Robert Mathis has developed into a Pro Bowl player.
The 2010 NFL Predictions Experts at online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Indianapolis Colts +300 odds to win the 2011 AFC Championship Title.
CONS: Two time All Pro safety Bob Sanders has played only six games the last two seasons. However, the Colts did a better job overcoming his absence in 2009 as free safety Antoine Bethea became the leader of the secondary and rookie free agent Jacob Lacey made a major impact. The injury suffered by Freeney in the NFL Playoffs exposed a concern on defense regarding depth as the Colts have annually suffered so many injuries by the postseason their depth is limited. The success of Manning and the passing attack is even more amazing considering that the Colts had the worst rushing offense in the NFL. Joseph Addai was finally health for the entire season, but he has not proven to be an elite runner.
