According to NFL.com, the Indianapolis Colts’ schedule is the fifth hardest in the league. On first glance, it doesn’t really appear all that crazy. The NFC South is a reasonably tough matchup and their own division is no picnic, but there certainly isn’t any murderers row here. Their schedule is just short on bad teams and heavy on average teams, giving the schedule a good average record and a high difficulty rating. The opening game of the season, against the Houston Texans, could be a huge one for both teams.
