The Indianapolis Colts will be entering the season with a bit of uncertainty regarding their quarterback spot. Last season, the team had signed Philip Rivers on a one-year deal, and Rivers helped the team make the playoffs again. However, this time the team will be without Rivers, who retired during the offseason.
So Indianapolis tried to resolve the vacant quarterback spot by trading for Carson Wentz. Now there are concerns about having Wentz as the starting quarterback for the Colts. One issue is the inconsistency he had in 2020 with the Eagles. In that season, Wentz threw 15 interceptions and only 16 touchdowns. Wentz will need to get back to his former self and show some consistency. Otherwise, we could be looking at a trainwreck of a season for the Colts. Overall, Wentz will do just fine in Indianapolis, though it may take him a few games to adapt to the offense.

AFC South: The Colts are one of the top teams within the division, with the other being the Titans. So it will be either the Colts or the Titans taking the division title this season. However, inconsistency regarding the starting quarterback position will lessen the Colts’ chances of finishing the season as division champs. If Wentz can develop some chemistry with the wide receiver unit, particularly T.Y. Hilton and Michael Pittman Jr., then they will be just fine. They already have an incredibly strong running game. Indianapolis should have no problem against the Texans and Jaguars within the division, but the Titans are an offensive juggernaut.

Overall: The Colts should have another winning season. They have a fair schedule that is neither hard nor easy. However, one of the most important factors that will determine their season is the ability of a new quarterback.
Predictions: The Colts will finish second in the AFC South with an 11-6 record.
