I would argue the Colts are in a good situation. My biased opinion believes they generally gel quickly and peak a bit early. In a shortened summer and possible season, that would be an advantage.

This definitely looks like it may be accurate five weeks into the season. Green Bay has not missed a beat since dominating in the playoffs last year. However, they haven't hit the hard part of their schedule yet, so lets not crown them too soon.
