Team Overview
The Colts enter 2025 holding more questions than certainties, with a crowded quarterback competition between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson.
Veteran CBs Charvarius Ward and Xavien Howard were brought in to stabilize the secondary amid roster turnover, including waiving 2023 pick JuJu Brents.
Fan analysis ranks the Colts strong in offensive line, tight end, and running back groups, but sees defensive line and safety as weaker units.
Offensive Line Analysis
The O-line sees both departures (C Ryan Kelly, G Will Fries) and reinforcements. The new projected lineup includes Raimann, Nelson, Bortolini, Gocalves, and Smith.
Jared Koch’s deep dive analysis praised the unit’s effectiveness, especially run-blocking: Colts ranked 4th-best in run-block win rate despite injuries.
Defensive Line Analysis
The defensive front has seen notable upgrades. JT Tuimoloau, drafted 45th overall, joins as a high-upside edge rusher to complement Laiatu Latu. Veterans Grover Stewart (extended) and DeForest Buckner remain focal points.
Samson Ebukam’s return from Achilles injury enhances depth and experience.
PFF slates them 17th among DL groups entering the season.
2025 NFL Season
Week 1
Likely opening division matchup roster includes Daniel Jones as the Week 1 starter, alongside Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson. Running backs: Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Goodson, D.J. Giddens.
Odds to Win Division and Super Bowl
Odds to Win AFC South: +350
Odds to Win Super Bowl: +15000
Predictions
Overall Record: 7-10. We expect a slight downturn from last season, ending third or fourth in the AFC South.
Playoff Chances: They have a slim but possible chance to make it to the playoffs.
Super Bowl Chances: They are in Long-shot territory as +15000 odds reflect minimal confidence.
The Colts’ key to 2025 lies in solidifying a QB identity, building continuity on their underrated O-line, and unlocking production from DL additions. With a favorable schedule and improved trenches, Indianapolis remains in the mix, but must overperform to make a playoff push.
