Colts links: Home field advantage? Where does Luck rank among NFL QBs?

Among the latest Indianapolis Colts links is an analysis of the over-under on Colts wins according to Bovada, as well as whether Indy could secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs. There's also a ranking of all 32 quarterbacks in the league, in which the position of Andrew Luck may surprise you:

Bleacher Report NFL analyst Chris Simms is very bullish on the Colts this season, saying Indianapolis will be "over-over-over-over" the 11 win mark that Bovada places as the over-under:

They're going to the AFC championship, no worse, to me. ... They can go 14-2, 13-3. If they lose to Denver and New England, hey, maybe they go 12-4 or whatever it is. But yes, they are certainly going to be one of the best teams in football this year.

Simms also expects Indianapolis to have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

SI's FanSided has a ranking of all 32 NFL quarterbacks as compiled by Stanford Crissey. Crissey has Andrew Luck ranked fifth, behind Tony Romo, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers:

It's pretty much inevitable that Luck will top this list in the next couple of years. In fact, I was all set to rank him as high as number two until I took a good look at his numbers, and realized something: Luck will be great, but he hasn't been as great as it would appear just yet.

For example, if we look at Football Outsiders' adjusted interceptions (which removes Hail Mary throws and passes that bounced off receivers' hands but adds dropped interceptions), Luck actually led the league with 23. Sure, some of that is to be expected after chucking 616 passes, and it came with a gaudy 40 touchdowns, but it is a little worrying. Luck's middling completion percentage of 62 percent ranked 23rd in the league as well.

All of that can be worked through, and make no mistake: Luck is fantastic. But until those issues are fixed, he can't be considered for number one.

Bleacher Report's Simms has only one quarterback ahead of Luck:

Second-best quarterback in football, in my opinion, behind Aaron Rodgers. I don't know if anybody bears the weight of the organization on a week-to-week basis like this guy right here. He's phenomenal.
