Wow, talk about resurrecting the dead...
It's kind of surprising that they would be so low given that typically the divisional winner has to play all of the divisional winners within the conference. I guess the AFC South is just so bad that playing 6 games against Houston, Jacksonville, and Tennessee skews the overall.
Apparently the schedule is even more favorable when you consider the "tougher" opponents are played at home (opponent win pct for home games is .445 and away is .414)
I don't think I would want to see the outcome of a Colts vs. NFC champ next year. It will take a couple of years at least to build a defense that can play championship ball.
