Indy made some moves and has a well-built roster. As we head into the 2022 Colts season, here’s what the sports analysts are predicting.

Michael Pittman Jr. will have a breakout campaign.

Michael took a jump from his rookie year to his sophomore season, but could explode in his third campaign. Last season, he hauled in 88 passes for 1,082 yards + six touchdowns. He could take another leap forward and be recognized as one of the best young receivers in football.

Matt Ryan will have a great season.

Indy’s new QB was in a difficult position last season, with no proven wide receiver after Calvin Ridley left the Atlanta Falcons in late October. But now, Matt is playing with an All-Pro running back, throwing to an intriguing group of receivers + operating behind a top-10 offensive line, which could help set him up for success.

Jonathan Taylor will get even better.

Jonathan emerged as arguably the top running back last season + he was the focal point of Indy’s offense as a second-year player, and that could be the same in 2022.

That’s what the football experts are saying — but we want to know what the tried + true Colts fans think about all of this. Which of these predictions do you think has the best chance at becoming reality?

Place your bet here.
