Jaguars at Colts: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Colts 31, Jaguars 13
Money line (?)
The Colts (-1100) have everything on the line and the Jags are waiting the season out. Jacksonville QB Mike Glennon, who will make his second consecutive start, was unable to get the offense going in last week’s 41-17 home loss to the Chicago Bears. That said, there is no point making a money line bet at -1100. You only win $0.91 for every $10 wagered. It’s more or less a sure thing but not worth your time. AVOID.
Against the spread (?)
The spread is a ridiculous 14 points, but the Jaguars have lost their last three games each by at least 21 points. The Colts have failed to cover the spread in their last two games but are 8-7 ATS on the season. Take the COLTS -14 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
The total is pretty high, although Jacksonville’s last two games have gone Over and five of the Colts’ last seven have gone Over. Indy’s defense is too good to let Glennon do much without wideout Robinson. The Colts will roll but will cruise to a win. So, they won’t score enough to make up for the Jags’ weak offense. Take UNDER 49.5 (-110).
