Colts Over Chargers

The Indianapolis Colts have to be one of the most frustrated teams in the league after opening the season with losses to the Lions and Broncos. Andrew Luck knows this team can’t afford to enter Week 4 winless as this team arguably finds themselves in a must-win situation against the San Diego Chargers.

When healthy, Luck has built a case for himself as one of the league’s most elite quarterbacks, but there’s been concerns over the way he’s looked so far in the 2016 season. Indianapolis invested a ton of money in their quarterback in the offseason, and after the team missed out on the playoffs last year while Luck dealt with numerous injuries, there’s even more pressure on the former top pick.

Hopefully, Luck can find a way to lead the Colts to their first win of the season with a favorable matchup. The Chargers have looked good so far in the young season, and are coming off an impressive win of their own against the Jaguars, but they’re certainly beatable.

San Diego is lucky enough where they’re not feeling as much pressure to come up on the winning end in this one. With a little more motivation behind Luck, expect Indianapolis to finally get that first win of 2016.
