Andrew Luck has emerged, just like most thought he would \u2013 his presence alone makes the Colts a contender. The Colts actually beat the 49ers, the Seahawks and the Broncos last year \u2013 impressive indeed.<\/p>\n<p>We know that Luck will bring it \u2013 with TY Hilton, Reggie Wayne, Hakeem Nicks and Donte Moncrief at his disposal will definitely do their part. The key is the running game \u2013 Indianapolis absolutely has to get the most out of Trent Richardson this year. He has to be better \u2013 doesn\u2019t he?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><a title=\"Sports Picks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/handicappers\/\"><strong>CLICK to GRAB OUR BEST Expert Sports &amp; Football Picks for 2014 GAMBLING!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Indy has won 11 games each of the last two seasons \u2013 no reason to think they will fall from that level \u2013 they play the easiest schedule in the NFL and their Divisional foes went just 13-35 last season. Indianapolis is a playoff team for sure \u2013 they will cruise to the AFC South title but the AFC Championship or the Super Bowl may be another year away.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Houston Texans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Houston Texans Odds to win the 2015 Super Bowl XLIX<\/strong> 66\/1<br \/>\n<strong>Houston Texans Odds to win the 2015 AFC Conference<\/strong> 28\/1<br \/>\n<strong>Houston Texans Odds to Win the 2014 AFC South<\/strong> +300<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Wow \u2013 the Houston Texans have some work to do \u2013 just to become relevant again. Off a dismal 2-14 campaign the Texans did little to improve themselves in the offseason. The brought in Ryan Fitzpatrick to cure the QB woes (ask Tennessee how that worked out for them), Ben Tate is gone and Arian Foster is apparently already banged up!<br \/>\n[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<br \/>\nArian Foster is a serious injury risk and Andre Johnson is not a happy man \u2013 I am staying completely away from the Texans.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Tennessee Titans<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Tennessee Titans Odds to win the 2015 Super Bowl XLIX<\/strong> 100\/1<br \/>\n<strong>Tennessee Titans Odds to win the 2015 AFC Conference<\/strong> 40\/1<br \/>\n<strong>Tennessee Titans Odds to Win the 2014 AFC South<\/strong> +700<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Tennessee Titans hope to finally get a full season from Jake Locker \u2013 the oft injured QB has to remain on the field for the Titans. He is good enough to take the 7-9 team of last year into a playoff spot. Chris Johnson is gone leaving a big hole in the running game \u2013 somebody needs to step up.<\/p>\n<p>Defensively the Titans were competitive but they largely ignored that area in the draft. I could see Tennessee winning nine or ten games this year and challenge for a playoff spot.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Jacksonville Jaguars<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Jacksonville Jaguars Odds to win the 2015 Super Bowl XLIX<\/strong> 250\/1<br \/>\n<strong>Jacksonville Jaguars Odds to win the 2015 AFC Conference<\/strong> 100\/1<br \/>\n<strong>Jacksonville Jaguars Odds to Win the 2014 AFC South<\/strong> +1400<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Jacksonville Jaguars were bad in every aspect of the game \u2013 they don\u2019t look all that thrilling going into this year. It looks like Chad Henne will start the season over Blake Bortles. Henne has never scared anybody at any time \u2013 Bortles may be starting sooner or later.<\/p>\n<p>While I think this team could get 6 wins \u2013 a surprisingly tough schedule has the Jags looking more like a 4 win team.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/handicappers\/\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE TOP CAPPERS FOR NFL FOOTBALL BETTING THIS SEASON &#8212;&#8211;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>What are you waiting for use our insider knowledge today to gamble on all the NFL Football Futures in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/internet-sportsbooks\/\"><strong>top online sportsbooks<\/strong><\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Handicapping The\u00a0AFC South 2014 AFC South Division Preview \u2013 A Slam Dunk for the Colts?
