The Indianapolis Colts (5-4) will be looking to bounce back from their crucial loss to host the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars (4-5) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 11.
Despite the Colts coming off of their worst loss in recent memory, they are opening the week as 3.5-point favorites over the visiting Jaguars, per BetMGM. The total is set at a modest 44.5 points for the Week 11 divisional matchup.
The Colts are trying to shake off the loss against the Miami Dolphins—one that was both shocking and listless in Week 10. Indy was down several starting players, but they still allowed one of the worst teams in the NFL to beat them in their own stadium.
The Jaguars, meanwhile, are coming out of the bye week and are trying to put their own embarrassing loss behind them after what the Houston Texans did to them overseas in Week 9.
It isn’t clear if the Colts will see the return of quarterback Jacoby Brissett. The 26-year-old missed the Dolphins game due to an MCL sprain, and the Colts had to ride with Brian Hoyer, who turned in a ghastly outing.
On the other side, it has already been confirmed that Nick Foles will be the starting quarterback for the Jaguars as he makes his return from a broken collarbone he suffered all the way back in Week 1.
It should be a physical battle in the trenches in Week 11, but the Colts are being viewed as slight favorites to open the week.
