NFL Week 3, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

14. Hilton finds the end zone three times
Isn’t it still crazy to think about how Andrew Luck is no longer part of the picture for the Indianapolis Colts after the former No. 1 pick decided to call it a career by retiring in the preseason?
Losing Luck was devastating for obvious reasons since the Colts were coming off an impressive 2018 campaign in which they reached the Divisional Round of the playoffs, but at least the offense still seems to be in great shape with Jacoby Brissett.
By rewarding Brissett with a hefty extension prior to the start of Week 1, Indianapolis showed their new beloved quarterback just how confident they are in his ability to make sure this team remains a top contender in the AFC.
Coming up short opening weekend to the Los Angeles Chargers was difficult to process at the time, but at least the Colts bounced back strong this past weekend by handing the Tennessee Titans a loss on the road.
All of a sudden, the confidence in Indianapolis seems to be on the rise over Brissett having what it takes to be the right answer for this offense.
One of the main reasons behind Brissett’s success from the first two weeks has been the benefit of having a reliable wideout to work with in T.Y. Hilton.
With Hilton already having three touchdowns to his name in two games to start off 2019, the thought of the speedster recording a hat trick against the Atlanta Falcons doesn’t sound all that crazy to consider.
