As we review the Indianapolis Colts AFC South Betting Odds for 2008 we know that they have one of the top offenses in the league.  They will be a big threat this year to win it all with Marvin Harrison back in the line-up.

Peyton Manning turned 32 in March, but that is not too old, as he should be Pro Bowl level for many years to come.  Green Bay's Brett Favre retired in the spring, Manning is right behind him for 160 straight gamed started heading into the 2008 season.  Manning is one of the best quarterbacks in the game, and continues to find ways to improve.  Marvin Harrison is expected to be fully recovered from the injury from last season which limited him to only 20 catches a career low.  Without Harrison last year, Wayne became the primary target for Manning with 1,510 receiving yards.   The AFC South Betting Odds at Sportsbook.com currently have the Indianapolis Colts 7/1 to win the 2009 Superbowl.

With Harrison returning this year, the Colts look to be dominant once again and will make a run at the title.  With all the weapons they have there is a slim chance that you will stop them from scoring.  They have two great tight ends in Dallas Clark and Anthony Gonzalez.  It's not going to be easy for Clark to accomplish what he did last season.  It won't be easy for sure.  With Harrison injured last year, QB Manning found himself going to Clark a lot.  Clark responded with (56) catches, (616) yards receiving and (11) touchdowns.  Gonzalez is a good tight end but last season he was injured in his rookie season, he was their #1 draft pick.  You can't forget about wide receiver Reggie Wayne who has developed into one of the best receivers in the league.  Wayne had a team-leading 104 receptions for 1,510 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.   The AFC South Betting Odds at Sportsbook.com currently have the Indianapolis Colts 5/9 to win the 2009 AFC South Division.

The Colts are looking to grab their sixth straight division title.  Last year the Colts suffered a big loss to San Diego at home as a 9 point favorite in the AFC Divisional playoffs.  The Colts should run away with this division once again.  They are 21-0 in September and October since 2005 and they appear to have an easy schedule in 2008 against Chicago, at Minnesota, Jacksonville, at Houston, Baltimore, at Green Bay and at Tennessee.  Just like last season November should determined where the Colts match up in the playoffs, with home field through out or not.
