COLTS

The Indianapolis Colts have the best record in football going into week 8. Daniel Jones has completed 71% of his passes, thrown for 10 touchdowns to only 3 interceptions, has thrown almost 1,800 yards, and he adds 4 rushing touchdowns to the mix. 

Throw in Jonathan Taylor who has 697 rushing yards, a 5.32 average per rush, and 10 rushing touchdowns. Plus a defense that has 9 interceptions, 3 fumble recoveries, and only gives up 19.3 points per game. That is a recipe for success. It goes to show you that yes players need to have talent, but put them in the right situation with playmakers and good coaching and they'll succeed. Looks like the Giants gave up on Jones too soon. 

It is looking like Daniel Jones' one year deal for $14 million was the steal of the offseason for the Colts.

The Denver Nuggets may be the team that can take out the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets did bring the Thunder to seven games in the Western Conference Semifinals this past post season.  They resigned Bruce Brown, signed Tim Hardaway Jr., Aaron Gordon will be healthy heading into the season, and Nikola Jokic will be a top three MVP player. Losing out on Jonas Valanciunas sucks, but maybe they'll be able to sign Bradley Beal if he becomes available?

The LA Clippers beat down the Denver Nuggets last night to take a 2-1 lead in their series. The Clippers were better than the Nuggets in almost ever statistical category which showed since they won by 34 points.  Nikola Jokic had a triple double, but only scored 23 points which is below his season average of almost 30 points per game. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon both score in double digits, but the rest of team didn't help too much.  Denver and LA were 2-2 in the 4 games they played against each other this year.

BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos and Bo Nix are playing well this season. After beating their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders last night, they hold an 8-2 record.  Don't get too excited though, they have only beaten one team above 500 (Eagles). Their two losses are against the Chargers and the Colts.  Don't get me wrong, this team is playing well, has a good defense, and a good young quarterback, but lets see how they do against teams with winning records.  Their nect game is against the Kansas City Chiefs.
