Luck is lucky to still be upright because of Arians offense, that throw it deep stuff nearly killed him. The Colts have improved their roster immensely, they will not go 11-5 again but will not take huge step back.

I agree. I think 10-6, 11-5 but I think they'll be a better more consistent team overall. Their record was certainly aided by a little luck last season (holy crap 10-12 seasons of that joke is going to be awful) not Luck but actual luck.
I like most of what they did to improve the roster so if you can take a step forward while basically having the same record as the previous season, I think that's where the 2013 Colts will be.
Re: Fearless NFL predictions
I think Rex Ryan will be the first coach to be fired this season.
And Cincinnati wins the AFC North and makes it to the AFC Championship game, only to lose to Denver.

My fearless prediction is that Indy wins the AFC South. I think they are on the rise and Houston is on the way down.

They still have to play Denver and they really haven't played a team that I forsee really making the playoffs. Denver's lone win was given to them by a team that has 100 turnovers in 2 games... and they beat Jacksonville.

haha. This Chiefs fan is loving it. They aren't ready for prime time yet but they are getting close. Maybe the most talented 2-14 team ever last year. About the worst coaching and front office ever too. With another year Reid and Dorsey will have them very close. They'll push for a WC berth this year. You're right about one thing - Denver will eat all three head to head this year. But top 3 in futility - no way.

Part of their rise this year will easily be that creampuff schedule. It's the boon of having a bad year. But their defense is legit and they don't make many mistakes. Offense will be their downfall against good teams. Still 9-7 or 10-6 is within reach, given their schedule, their division, and the job Reid has done.
Being a big Cincy/KC teams fan has gotten a LOT more fun this year especially looking back say 5 years!!!!

Bucs have made the move: Benching Josh Freeman for Mike Glennon, per league source.

Pretty good, I'd say. His career so far kind of reminds me of Jason Campbell with Washington.

I'm very pleased that this prediction is apparently going nowhere.

Zero.
His mechanics are in need of a complete overhaul and his maturity level is not where it needs to be (dude slept through team photo day and was late to his own football youth camp). There are tons of stories out of Tampa that he's more interested in chasing women and partying than being a better pro.
He'll find work as a backup somewhere, I'm sure -- but I'd be shocked if anyone turned to him as an answer for any reason other than injury.

The word 'genius' is thrown around a lot... :D ;)
