The Jaguars are entering this game with a 3-2 record overall and they have a 1-1 record in their divisional games too. They are 0-2 in their home games, 1-0 in their road games, and they are also 2-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have the Jaguars listed as a 4 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jaguars have spent the last 2 weeks in London, England playing 2 games in a row there and they won both games as they are coming back home with some momentum behind them. They have already beaten the Colts this season in their 1st game of the year which was on the road and also their only win on American soil this season. The Jags went on to lose 2 games in a row after beating the Colts but now they have won 2 games in a row and they are starting to get into a groove. The Colts have also been a lot better than expected with their 3-2 record overall and they are even 2-0 in their road games too, but this Jags team has a lot more talent on both offense and defense and it showed in their 1st meeting earlier this season. It has only been a few weeks since they last met and the Colts have definitely gotten better but the Jags are also hitting their stride now and they are going to be looking for their 1st win at home this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jaguars to cover the spread in this game.

“I don't, I just know he has the shoulder. We ran something similar to that last week where he popped the big one and then, obviously, this week, he got the shoulder on that play. That's stuff that you've got to look at, be smart with and it's part of the game and you don't want it to happen.” - Shane Steichen on the injury to Anthony Richardson after his team’s win against the Titans in their last game.
