IndyStar's Indianapolis Colts Insiders, Joel A. Erickson and Jim Ayello take their best shot at predicting every game this season.
Week 1: Colts at Jaguars, 1 p.m. Sunday, WTTV-4
Erickson (1-0): Colts 30, Jaguars 20
Indianapolis has horrible recent history in season openers, but this game is a gift from the NFL's schedule-makers. Jacksonville is in a rebuild; the defense that used to be so formidable has been dismantled over the past couple of seasons. If the Indianapolis defense can keep Gardner Minshew, D.J. Chark and the Jaguars' passing game in check, the Colts should win this one.
