The Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3) take their 2-game losing streak into Lucas Oil Stadium to face division rival the Indianpolis Colts (2-2-1) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Jaguars vs. Colts odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
When the Colts got rid of QB Carson Wentz and added Matt Ryan, they were hoping the team would get better. It has been a struggle so far.
Coming off a 12-9 overtime victory at the Denver Bronos in the Week 5 Thursday night game, the offense has not found its way yet. While the low-scoring output can be chalked up to RB Jonathan Taylor being out with an ankle injury, the same cannot be said for Indy’s other games this season. The Colts were shut out 24-0 at Jacksonville in Week 2 when Taylor was healthy.
The Jaguars have been dismal the last 2 weeks after winning 2 games that weren’t even close – the 24-0 win over the Colts and a Week 3 win at the Los Angeles Chargers 38-10. QB Trevor Lawrence has regressed a bit since his hot start. However, his connection with WR Christian Kirk and the run game of RB James Robinson have been lacking in the recent losses.
