2. Andrew Luck will throw 3 interceptions

Andrew Luck isn’t the same quarterback that he once was. He still may be able to get out of trouble with his feet, but I am not that confident in his arm. I think the New England Patriots secondary will jump all over Luck and cause absolute chaos in the air.

With T.Y. Hilton out, the Colts don’t have a ton of targets. I expect the Patriots secondary to lock everyone down. Another key for this prediction is the pass rush.

In Week 4 we saw the impact of Trey Flowers. He made everyone on the line better and the Patriots actually caused pressure in the pocket.

If the defensive line has a similar effort I expect Luck to make a few errant throws that will make for some easy interceptions.

The New England Patriots came to play in Week 4. Hopefully, they will be even better in Week 5.
