Entering the final game of the regular season, the Indianapolis Colts (7-8) and Jacksonville Jaguars (5-10) are preparing for a Week 17 matchup at TIAA Bank Field.
The Colts opened the week as 3.5-point road favorites over their division foe—a team they defeated 31-13 in Week 11. But now, the Colts will be facing rookie Gardner Minshew instead of Nick Foles.
