You could well be right with your initial take, even though I'm disagreeing at the moment. We're all just guessing/analyzing here, and the AFCS is throwing the Titans and Jaguars at the Colts, which should be 4 phone-in wins right there. I think that defense will make more of those games competitive, but that's really more a product of the Colts stupidity in the offseason than it is of their schedule.
I initially looked at a few Strength of Schedule charts which has Indy as having one of the weakest in the NFL. But these charts are usually last years opposing team record vs Colts last year record etc.. at least in the beginning of the season and then upgrades during the season.

But your point is valid. Any team that can run the ball for example has a good chance of keeping luck on the sideline and controlling the clock. And teams may have improved from last year.
I think I've change my position from rooting for a Meteor to rooting for the Colts. haha
Get the Division first then worry about the playoff seeding.
