The Indianapolis Colts faced numerous challenges in 2023, including injuries that threatened to derail their playoff hopes. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew stepped up to fill the void left by the injured Anthony Richardson and helped keep the team in contention. Despite missing most of the season due to injury, Richardson is expected to be fully healthy for the upcoming year and is expected to make a big impact on the team’s performance.
With Richardson back in action, oddsmakers are confident that the Colts will be back in playoff contention, looking to build on their promising young quarterback’s successes from his rookie year. FanDuel Sportsbook has projected the Colts’ win total for 2024 at 8.5, with odds favoring them to go under .500. However, there is an implied probability of 54% that they will be in the hunt for postseason glory once again.
The AFC South division is becoming increasingly competitive, with teams like the Texans and Jaguars improving their skills and strategies. The Colts face a challenging schedule next season, with matchups against five playoff teams from last year and tough opponents from both conferences. Despite these obstacles, oddsmakers are optimistic about the Colts’ chances due to their promising young quarterback and a solid defense led by linebacker Darius Leonard.
