The Indianapolis Colts will be contending for a playoff spot in a crowded AFC picture, and one NFL analyst believes they can be sleepers for the Super Bowl.
NFL Network’s Cynthia Frelund picked the Colts as her Super Bowl sleeper team entering the 2022 season thanks to the many new additions made to the roster this offseason.
“They’ve got that o-line, they’ve got that run game. They’ve got Matt Ryan who creates a passing offense for them where last year was a bit shakier,” said Frelund. “So you’re surrounding a really good team with a really good quarterback that can execute play-action extremely well. I think this kind of a nice, longer shot Super Bowl pick.”
The Colts have to get into the playoffs first and that starts with winning the division. They could find themselves in the wild-card race but ensuring one of the top four seeds would go a long way during the playoffs.
The AFC is stacked with strong teams. The entire AFC West might be the best division in football while the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills lead the way as favorites for the conference. Then, the AFC North boasts several strong teams while the New England Patriots also are expected to be in the mix.
The Colts are certainly an interesting team going into the season, and if they get hot at the right time, anything can happen.
