Betting Odds
Point Spread: Jaguars +8/Colts -8
Total Line: 48
The Jaguars may have claimed a victory against the Miami Dolphins in week two, but they were systematically brought back down to earth with a crash this past week in a 51-17 loss to the New England Patriots. Jacksonville had no way of competing against Tom Brady’s passing game, although their defence line was exceptionally poor in the game as well. They were flagged seven times for a total of 114 yards and in the end, the offence that they could muster only resulted in them garnering 293 yards altogether. Quarterback, Blake Bortles was barely able to compile any form of offence against the Patriots.
Jacksonville have collectively gathered 49 points this season, according to official stats, although they’ve allowed opposing teams to score 91 points. The lack of considerable offence on the Jaguars’ part has left them flailing in the rankings, positioned in just 29th overall. Defensively, Jacksonville are ranked 30th, proving that the 2015 regular season has not been a good one for the team so far. The aforementioned Bortles has only completed 57 of his 106 attempted passes, while rushing stats show that zero touchdowns have been made.
It wouldn’t be anything spectacular, but the Colts did claim their first win against Tennessee’s Titans last week, with a final score of 35-33. Starting quarterback, Andrew Luck did finally seem to wake up this season, managing to finish the game with 18 successful passes of 30 attempted for a total of 260 yards. He also managed to secure two touchdowns, despite being intercepted twice as well. The Titans made the Colts fight for every point though, and that they did, claiming 21 points in the final period against Tennessee’s zero. Indianapolis now need to maintain some consistency when it comes to their gameplay.
Luck has completed 65 passes so far this season out of the 116 he’s attempted, compiling 753 yards in the process. He’s thrown a total of seven interceptions though and lost 18 yards in sacks. Frank Gore has done his best with rushing, carrying 37 for 174 yards and securing two touchdowns while doing so, while wide receivers, Donte Moncrief and T.Y. Hilton have caught 17 and 15 passes, respectively. Three touchdowns have also been claimed by Moncrief this season so far.

Free NFL Pick
The Jaguars are still really banged up especially on defense, but should be in better shape on the OL with LT Luke Joekel expected to play his first game this season. The Secondary may be missing starting CB Davon House and FS Sergio Brown. The Colts should be able to march up and down the field against this unit. The same can be said about the Jaguars who will be facing their weakest opponent on the defensive side of the ball this season.
