AFC South – Division Favorite

Indianapolis Colts

Chasing the Indianapolis Colts never has been easy in the AFC South.

First, the Titans, Jaguars and Texans all tried, and failed, to slow down Peyton Manning. Now, Andrew Luck has taken his turn atop the division.

The Colts have won eight of the last 11 division titles and Luck now has his first division title since replacing Manning.

Luck goes into his third season after that incredible rally from 28 points down to beat Kansas City in the playoffs. He has Hakeem Nicks as a new target.

But Reggie Wayne has to prove he can return from a torn right ACL at age 35. Injuries already are starting to accumulate, with four players lost for the season, including starting left guard Donald Thomas. Coach Chuck Pagano, who patched together the offensive line last season, has a rookie at right guard, a center and left guard going into their second seasons. The Colts will be without last year’s sacks leader Robert Mathis on Sept. 28 when the Titans visit — the end of his four-game suspension.

We’ll once again be wondering what Andrew Luck could do if the Colts one day gave him a solid offensive line.

Either way the Colts are the division favorites in the AFC South in 2014.
