Colts fans have spoken...

NFL schedule release day has come and gone, and while no one won Indianapolis Colts team owner Jim Irsay’s ‘million dollar contest’ for a consecutive year, the Horseshoe now knows the “when” regarding facing each of its already slated NFL opponents.

However, most Colts fans (36%) are excited to see Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell’s upstart NFC runner-up Detroit Lions come to town during Week 12 (November 24th) at the friendly confines of Lucas Oil Stadium:

The Colts and Lions last played against one another in Week 8 of 2020 (November 1, 2020), when Indianapolis...

With the news of Adonai Mitchell hiring a personal chef to help manage his diet plan with his Type 1 Diabetes, I’ve used both my journalistic & culinary skills to uncover a recipe for him to succeed as a pro.

Through a thorough analysis of a cookbook (not unlike a certain Elrick brother), I have uncovered the recipe for Adonai Mitchell’s success. The ingredients are as follows:

• 1 cup of snaps at the X Wide Receiver position.
• 1⁄4 cup of Reggie Wayne mentorship.
• A sprinkle of crushed walnuts.
• A layer of Shane Steichen play designs. -...

Could Colts’ 2nd-year quarterback Anthony Richardson become a bonafide NFL MVP candidate during 2024?

According to NFL.com’s Nick Shook, Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Anthony Richardson is among his ‘way too early’ top 10 NFL MVP candidates ahead of the 2024 campaign:

Rank 7

Anthony Richardson

Indianapolis Colts · MVP odds: +3000

Here’s where it gets fun. Remember Richardson? You know, the pillar of a human with freakish athleticism who carried question marks into the 2023 draft, then promptly dunked on them in his first month of play? I sure do. Richardson’s abrupt end...

The Colts can take a few lessons from the Pacers being back in the playoffs.

Game 7. Pacers Knicks. Madison Square Garden. If that doesn’t take fans over thirty back, I am not sure what would. The Pacers went from a lottery team to one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals. What a difference a year can make. The Indianapolis Colts are looking to capture a little bit of the magic the Pacers have found as they too are a young and hungry team that went from high pick to potential playoff contender.

Love this!

This week’s reacts question was, “Will JC Latham make the Pro Bowl as a left tackle?” The results were pretty crazy:

86% think he will. I was expecting the number to be in the 55-60% range. I’m not sure if the confidence is in Latham or Bill Callahan, but I hope the 86% of you who said he will are right. That would go a long way in fixing the offensive line, which as well know, has been one of the biggest issues for this team over the last few seasons.

One of the things that has stood...

Seventeen games, seventeen wins.

Last year was last year. In May, hope springs eternal - and looking at the Jacksonville Jaguars’ recently released schedule, it’s very hard to see where a loss comes from. Here’s a prediction for the 2024 calender, as seen through my black and teal tinted glasses:

Week 1: @ Miami

Week 1, or the final preseason game as it used to be known. The Jaguars begin the season on the road, albeit a small trip down the I-95. The Miami Dolphins casually put up 536 yards of offense this time last year against the [Los...

We’ve compiled four major takeaways from the Tennessee Titans’ 2024 season schedule

The NFL finally released the official schedules for the 2024 season on Wednesday evening. That means it’s time for some immediate reactions to the Tennessee Titans’ slate. After enjoying another creative Broadway-themed schedule release video, I noticed four topics throughout the schedule that stuck out to me.

No division game until Week 6

The Titans will play two unfamiliar NFC opponents in their first three contests, opening Week 1 versus the Chicago Bears, and hosting the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. Following a Week 5 bye,...

48 hours later...what do we think of the upcoming schedule?

The NFL officially released the regular season (and preseason) schedules for the 2024-25 season this past Wednesday. Strategic leaks dominated the news beforehand, but it all went official Wednesday night. You found plenty of instant hot takes following the release of the schedule, as we are an instant-hot-take society. Yet, using the benefit of time to let the proverbial (or literal) hangover dissipate, here are some (allegedly) more thought-out takes on the upcoming schedule for the Texans:
