Staff picks in Week 6

Being without Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines, Shaquille Leonard and Kwity Paye will wind up being too much for the Colts to overcome. Those injuries, along with the issues in pass protection, will ultimately doom the Colts in another divisional loss.

I don’t think the offense will be as flat as they were in Week 2 when they got blown out 24-0. But nothing over the last few weeks since this first meeting has instilled confidence that the offense will turn it around overnight, especially with how poorly the offensive line has played. Maybe the changes across the line this week will spark something that could work. But odds say that Matt Ryan will have a tough time dealing with constant pressure.

Without the balance of Taylor in the run game, the Colts will be forced to throw more, which means leaning more on an offensive line that can’t get out of its own way.
