Colts vs. Jaguars prediction & best bet
Over 46.5 (-105 via FanDuel)
I like the Colts to give the Jaguars a fight in this game. However, the point total over appears to be the best bet in this matchup.
Indianapolis is a bottom-10 scoring defense, allowing over 25 points per game this season. The Colts and Jaguars have both allowed 5.8 yards per play, tied for the fourth-worst mark in the league.
While Indianapolis is trading away key pieces, it still has star RB Jonathan Taylor in the backfield. The Jaguars' offense is a top-10 scoring unit, posting 25.7 points per game this season, including 31+ points in three of six games.
Coming out of a bye week, expect Jaguars head coach Liam Coen to have his group focused and ready to roll against a porous Colts defense that has only forced 1 turnover in its previous 3 contests.
Go to FanDuel and bet Over 46.5 at -105 odds.
📡 SBR Edge: AFC Road Kill
The Colts have gone over the total points line in 4 straight road games played against an AFC opponent.
Jaguars' offense outlasts desperate Colts
The Jaguars, led by QB Trevor Lawrence, will put up numbers with a rest advantage and a top-10 offense that continues to trend upward. However, Jacksonville's defense is vulnerable, so expect Taylor and QB Daniel Jones to move the football downfield into scoring position enough to cover against a familiar divisional foe.
Ultimately, Lawrence and the Jaguars' offense will pull away late, scoring at least 27 points to beat the Colts for an eleventh straight time at EverBank Stadium. Taylor and the Colts do enough to break 20 points, losing by a touchdown and suffering a fourth straight loss.
Play to: Over 46.5 (-120)
Score prediction: Jaguars 27, Colts 20
