you kidding me? secured it? im a colts fan and we arent close to being in comfortable position. that being said, i bet we make the playoffs. i wouldnt be surprised with a deep playoff run either.

look at the schedule, the texans, bengals and lions all at home are virtual locks and we "should" beat the rest of the teams on there too except the Titans (who may be resting their starters). I definitely think this is atleast a 10 win colts team.

there are none of these so called "locks" in the nfl. paper =/= performance.

The Colts will make the playoffs, and I'd bet a paycheck on that because I would never bet against Peyton Mannning.

Dude, your expectations are incredibly high. I'm a browns fan, we won ten games last year. Even though we didn't make the playoffs, that season was one of the biggest things in Cleveland sports in a LONG time. Oh how we love our Brownies.

lol I was only joking to begin with

It was a tongue in cheek comment, based on my misconception of your comment 'I never bet against Manning', and all of his perceived 'chokes' in the playoffs... I was joking about all the money you would have lsot on said chokes IF you bet on him during the playoffs...

FWIW, I reckon the Colts will wrap up a WC as well... I really don't like any of the teams from the AFC East though... My favourite would be Miami

Though the likelihood of them getting through is minimal, I would love em to grab that 6th WC spot...

I'd love to see Miami get into the playoffs simply cause of how Pennington was treated by the jets.
