Jaguars vs Colts Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jaguars listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jaguars have looked great in their games this season with their 11-4 record overall which has them right at the top of the AFC South with one of the best records in the entire NFL. They have been a great road team too with their 5-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Colts have looked good in their games this season with their 8-7 record overall, but that record has them right near the bottom of the AFC South and fighting for a Wild Card spot. They have looked great on their home field though with their 5-2 home record this season. The Colts had one of the best starts to the season in the entire NFL, but their season has been falling apart lately and now they are at risk of missing the playoffs altogether. They are off a 48-27 loss to the 49ers in their last one and they have lost 5 games in a row now. They have been dealing with injuries too, rolling out Philip Rivers at QB in their last 2 games. Rivers hasn't been terrible considering his age, but the defense was nowhere to be found against the 49ers. Now they have a better Jaguars defense coming into town, and the Jags have a chance to end the Colts season right here. The Jaguars are going to bring their best effort to end a rival's season, and the Jags are still trying to win the division with the Texans right on their tail. The Jaguars have been rolling lately with 6 wins in a row now, and they have a ton of momentum on their side as they are off a 34-20 road win over the Broncos in their last one. This Colts team has been on the brink of death for weeks now so look for the Jaguars to put the final dagger in them. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jaguars to cover the spread in this game.

“We've got to be better. Bottom line, we can't give up that many yards. They scored a lot of points, went up and down the field and we've got to get that cleaned up in a hurry. Our defense played great last week and then this week ... we've got to be better.” - Shane Steichen after his team’s loss against the 49ers in their last game.
