About three weeks ago, the Jacksonville Jaguars dominated the Indianapolis Colts in a 24-0 shutout win. But after back-to-back losses, including an embarrassing 13-6 loss to the previously winless Houston Texans, the Jaguars are underdogs in the rematch.
The oddsmakers at Tipico Sportsbook listed the Jaguars as a 1.5-point underdog against the Colts when the line for the Week 6 game opened Sunday night. The points total is set at 41.5, the lowest of any game next Sunday.
The Jaguars were riding high after their win over the Colts that was followed by a 38-10 blowout of the Los Angeles Chargers. That momentum is gone now after the Jaguars lost 29-21 to the Philadelphia Eagles in a sloppy, turnover-filled game that was followed by the frustrating loss to the Texans.
Indianapolis bounced back from the Week 2 loss to Jacksonville by beating the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3. After a loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Colts got their second win of the year on Thursday with a 12-9 overtime victory over the Denver Broncos.
The Jaguars were underdogs in the first four weeks of the season before entering Week 5 as a touchdown favorite.
