What makes you so sure the Colts' run is over? Tony Dungy is a great coach, and he will be back for another year. Peyton Manning is still in his prime. He was #2 in all QBs last year in the NFL behind Tom Brady, who had one of the best seasons ever. Manning is still completing over 65% of his passes. Marvin Harrison is coming off injury, and who says he can't be as productive as he was two years ago? Don't tell me Harrison is their only receiver.

Anthony Gonzalez is becoming a prime slot receiver, Dallas Clark is looking more impressive each year at tight end, and Reggie Wayne led the team in receptions and yards. Wayne had a breakout year. So don't tell me they have no offense. Don't forget about one of the best O-lines in the NFL.

Now to the defense. Dwight Freeney will be healthy coming into this year. His return will be a huge boost. Gary Brackett led the defense with 116 tackles last year. Bob Sanders is becoming one of the top safeties in the league, with another great year last season.

This Colts team can still play. Though they are getting old, they don't look to drop off anytime this year. Maybe in a couple years they will decline.

Don't forget about Joseph Addai. This year, he could move up to be a top 5 running back. Plus he is young, something the Colts need.

Anyways, you have given no reason as to how Indianapolis will slow down. They won the Super Bowl just 2 years ago. Remember?

Anything you say about Jacksonville can also be said about Indy. The Colts have a 1-2 punch at rb as well. Peyton Manning doesn't cost games either, does he? The fact is, Manning is much better than Garrard right now. Plus, Peyton has much better receivers at his disposal.

Feel free to peruse these power rankings of the year. Most have Indy at 2 behind the Pats.

The Jaguars had an outstanding year last year. They should do well this year. But they will not beat out Indianapolis for the division.

You have made no argument concerning this. I have made mine.
