AFC 3rd Seed (AFC South Champions): Indianapolis Colts (11-5)

The Colts started out slowly and some started to press the panic button. Andrew Luck would have none of that.

Luck just continued to do what he always does — throw touchdown passes and get wins.

After dropping their first two games, the Colts have gone 6-1. Luck is leading an offense that ranks first in points scored, total yards and passing yards.

Now the schedule helps the Colts. They only play three teams with a winning record from here on out.

Even with Luck on their side, the Colts’ fortunes will depend on their defense. They rank 18th in points allowed. They are getting help, however, as LaRon Landry comes back from suspension.

The Colts will continue to reign over the AFC South. Now if they can get some playoff wins.
