The X-factors of the Colts’ 2022 season

These Colts are the X-factors for the 2022 season.

After a busy offseason, the Indianapolis Colts are one of the more intriguing teams coming out of the AFC South.

As it currently stands, they are slight favorites to win the division over the Tennessee Titans. It would be the first time since 2014 that the Colts stand atop the division, and if they’re going to accomplish that goal, the X-factors will have to play a major role.

The term “X-factor” gets thrown around a lot in sports. We’re going to define it as Google does. “A variable in a given situation that could have the most significant impact on the outcome.”

The variables in this situation are players on the Colts roster. Recent history tells us how the majority of the players are likely to perform. However, some of them can be the reason the team exceeds expectations if they themselves exceed expectations. If they don’t, it could be another reason why the Colts don’t make that tier jump.

As the Colts aim to end the drought of division titles, these are the X-factors for the upcoming season:

LSU vs McNeese State: How to watch plus game predictions

A look at how to watch the LSU Tigers host the McNeese State Cowboys on Saturday night in Death Valley. Plus game picks and predictions.

Saturday night in Death Valley the LSU Tigers get a chance to even their 2021 record two games in. After the loss to UCLA, the Tigers host an in-state opponent from the FCS, McNeese State.

After warts from 2020 arose once again in 2021, the optimism of the season quickly faded as the Bruins ran and threw all over the Tigers’ defense. The Cowboys are nowhere near the level of UCLA, but if Cody Orgeron can throw the ball on this defense, we could be in for another long afternoon.

The hot seat for head coach Ed Orgeron began to heat up, even a dominating win over McNeese won’t be enough to quiet the noise around the football program. At least not until after Central Michigan and Mississippi State. The Tigers still have an opportunity to get to 3-1 ahead of SEC play, which is important for postseason chances.

Game Prediction

I took one on the chin last week choosing LSU to win that game on the road in Pasadena, California. Just like the team, there is an opportunity to even my season record.

Game Pick	Off X-Factor	Def X-Factor	Season Talley
LSU	Tyrion Davis-Price	BJ Ojulari	0-1

In this game, I think it gets put away relatively early on and allows some of the younger players to see in-game action. McNeese will score some points late after the outcome has been well decided.

My bold prediction is Tyrion Davis-Price runs for 150 yards and three touchdowns in this game.

Score: LSU 56, McNeese 27

10 Wisconsin football players who could be X-factors in 2021

We are 17 Saturdays away from Wisconsin football’s season-opening contest against the Penn State Nittany Lions. It’ll be a fast start to

We are 17 Saturdays away from Wisconsin football’s season-opening contest against the Penn State Nittany Lions.

It’ll be a fast start to the 2021 season for the Wisconsin Badgers, as Penn State will be followed with bouts against Eastern Michigan, Notre Dame and Michigan before the Big Ten West schedule gets going.

But while there are some big-name schools on the Badgers’ slate, the schedule is actually a manageable one. Almost all of the big games are at home, Ohio State is nowhere to be seen and out-of-conference bouts against Army and Eastern Michigan will give the team valuable experience before the must-win games come up.

It’s a season that is lining up to be much better than 2020’s 4-3 finish. For that to happen, though, Paul Chryst will need some players on both sides of the football to emerge as difference makers.

I’m here to outline who those players could be. This is not a rundown of the team’s best players—Graham Mertz, Jake Ferguson, Jalen Berger, Jack Sanborn and Leo Chenal aren’t listed.

It’s a list of the other guys. Players that could emerge as X-factors as the season goes on.
