QB Mike Glennon struggled to find any consistency through the air for Jacksonville as he connected on 24 of his 37 pass attempts for 211 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 interceptions. WR D.J. Chark Jr. was one of the top targets for Glennon and the Jaguars as he hauled in 4 catches for 62 yards and a TD.

CB Greg Mabin led the way for the Jacksonville defense with 10 tackles. The LB corp had a productive outing for the Jacksonville defense as Joe Schobert had 8 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception while Myles Jack had 8 tackles.

The Indianapolis Colts come into this matchup with a 10-5 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, 28-24. QB Phillip Rivers struggled to find much consistency through the air for Indianapolis as he connected on 22 of his 35 pass attempts for 270 yards, 1 TD, and 1 interception.

LB Darius Leonard led the way for the Indianapolis defense with 10 tackles and 1 TFL. The Colts were able to get into the Pittsburgh backfield a handful of times as DB Khari Willis had a TFL and sack while DE Justin Houston and DT Grover Stewart both had a TFL.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have locked up the #1 pick and Trevor Lawrence which has them looking forward to next season, but the Indianapolis Colts need to handle business in this game and then pray they get into the playoffs. The Colts were unable to close out the game at Pittsburgh after going up 24-7, and their defense will come into this game trying to make a statement. The Colts need to stick to their ground game with Jonathan Taylor and use the passing game as a change of pace, but they should be able to get whatever they want against the same Jacksonville defense that gave up 41 points to the Bears. Final Score Prediction, Indianapolis Colts win and cover ATS 38-14.
