As recently as 2010 the Indianapolis Colts were considered a perennial Super Bowl contender, but the situation has changed in Naptown (i.e. Peyton Manning no longer plays there), a fact reflected in the latest 2013 Super Bowl XLVII Odds. Indianapolis is presently listed at +10000 odds to win its second Lombardi Trophy and +5000 odds to represent the AFC in Super Bowl XLVII. Odds makers are giving the Colts no shot at a division title either with the club presently drawing +1500 odds (risk $100 to win $1500) to knock the Texans off their AFC South throne.
The Colts streak of nine consecutive playoff appearance came to an inglorious end last season as the team finished 2-14 without Peyton Manning under center. With Manning now in Denver, NFL prognosticators are predicting more of the same for Indianapolis in 2012. Offshore book maker BetOnline.com is favoring the Under 5.5 wins for the Colts at -180 moneyline odds (Indianapolis Colts Over 8.5 wins +150), despite Indy winning the Andrew Luck sweepstakes.
