Colts Are Now Serious Super Bowl Contenders With Matt Ryan and I Won't Hear Otherwise

As a die-hard Falcons fan, I knew this die would come. But the reign of the greatest quarterback in NFL history coming to an end due to botched trade negotiations for a troubled (at best) QB in DeShaun Watson, is sickening.

Make no mistake about it, as I said in the video above, the Indianapolis Colts are instantly Super Bowl contenders. WynnBET has moved their odds from +2500 to +1800, and I agree with the move.

Colts Are Serious Super Bowl Contenders with Matt Ryan Under Center

There is a portion of the population out there that thinks Matt Ryan is nothing but a washed up quarterback who is no better than Carson Wentz. Those are the people who have hardly paid attention to the Falcons over the past handful of years, and are basing this opinion solely on their recent record.

Let me tell you, Ryan still has gas left in his tank.

I wasn't being sarcastic or tongue-in-cheek when I said Matt Ryan is still a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. He truly is. Despite having next to no help in recent years, and an offensive line that has got him hit more than any other quarterback, he's still performing at a high level.

Now, you're going to give him one of the best pass protecting offensive lines in the NFL, along with a dominant run game and a strong defense? What more do the Colts need to be contenders? Hell, they were a blown Week 18 game against the Jaguars away from making the playoffs with Carson Wentz! Some people were even calling them dark horse Super Bowl contenders!

Now, they're instantly back in the conversation and well worth a bet to lift Lombardi's trophy next February.
