Alex’s best bet: Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars prediction

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Alex White’s NFL Week 5 best bet involves the league’s lone winless team when the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4) host the Indianapolis Colts (2-2) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS).

Surprisingly, Indy hasn’t won in Jacksonville since 2014, losing 8 in a row in Duval County.

The Colts are coming off back-to-back home wins and covers, recently beating the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-24 as 2.5-point underdogs. Unfortunately for Indianapolis, RB Jonathan Taylor and QB Anthony Richardson were injured during the victory.

Editor’s note: Alex made the below video before Taylor was ruled out for Sunday’s contest. Richardson is listed as doubtful. However, Alex is sticking with her best bet.

The Jaguars lost at the Houston Texans 24-20 in Week 4 though they did cover as 5.5-point underdogs. They are 2-2 against the spread this season.

For this Week 5 matchup, the Jaguars are favored by 3 (-115), per BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds as of Saturday at 11:32 p.m. ET.

Listen below to why Alex is on this play.
