Colts vs Jaguars Prediction
The current betting odds have the Colts listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Colts have looked really good in their games this season with their 8-4 record overall which has them right near the top of the AFC South. They haven't been a great road team though with their 2-3 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have looked really good in their games this season with their 8-4 record overall which has them right at the top of the AFC South. They have looked great on their home field too with their 4-1 home record. They are off a 25-3 win over the Titans in their last one and that win has put them in 1st place of the division with the Colts losing last week. The Colts are off a 20-16 loss at home to the Texans in their last one and they have given the Texans life in this division now, but the Colts have still looked like the best team in the AFC South all season and they will be looking to bounce back after losing such a pivotal game. The Jags now lead the division so the Colts are going to bring their best effort for this game, and they do have the better offense that has been a lot more consistent all year. The Colts have one of the best RB's in the NFL to lean on and Daniel Jones hasn't looked bad in this offense either. The Jaguars have been really up and down this season with inconsistencies on both sides of the ball and they have had to play in a lot more dog fights than the Colts who have had more control in their games. The Colts need to show up in this game to keep hold of the division and they will be desperate to bounce back after a bad stretch of games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Colts to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“Sometimes you win the tight games, but when you lose the tight games it's frustrating because you're like ‘Shoot, we could have had that.’ You look back, it's three or four plays when you lose the tight ones so we've got to find a way to get those three or four plays when it is a tight game.” - Shane Steichen after his team’s loss against the Texans in their last game.
“We’re giving ourselves an opportunity to play meaningful games in November and December, and ultimately that’s all you can ask for in this league. The rest of the way you've got competitive, meaningful football games.” - Liam Coen after his team’s win against the Titans in their last game.
