Jags remain 3.5-point underdogs to Colts

The spread for the Jags’ matchup against the Colts is still set at 3.5-points as of Sunday despite Indy being down two receivers.

With the final injury reports now official, the Jacksonville Jaguars are still underdogs to the Indianapolis Colts in the eyes of the oddsmakers in Vegas. As of Saturday morning, they still are listed as 3.5-point underdogs on the road per BetMGM in what is being viewed as a must-win game for both teams.

The Colts announced that starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett will play Friday after sustaining an MCL sprain two weeks ago against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, they will be without receiver Paris Campbell (hand) and starting receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf), which could be an issue for Brissett.

Meanwhile, the Jags only had one player on the injury report in tight end Seth DeValve (oblique), who was ruled doubtful. However, the biggest news of the week for them was the return of starting quarterback Nick Foles, who missed eight games with a collarbone injury.

While there wasn’t a change in the spread, the money line dropped from +135 to +125, which means a wager of $100 on the Jags would pay out $125. The total for Sunday’s game remained the same though, at 44.5.

Jags enter Week 11 as 3.5-point underdogs to Colts

The Jags have entered Week 11 as underdogs to the Colts as both are coming off embarrassing losses.

After missing out on a chance to acquire the second place spot in the AFC South Week 9 against the Houston Texans, the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-5) will have another shot at the same spot when they take on the Indianapolis Colts (5-4) Sunday. However, it appears they will have to do so as underdogs on the road as BetMGM has the Colts favorited by 3.5-points.

Both teams will be coming off of embarrassing Week 11 losses. The Jags will be looking to get over a recent 26-3 beatdown courtesy of the Texans, while the Colts will be looking to get over a 16-12 loss to one of the worst teams in football: the Miami Dolphins. They both also will be looking to stay in the hunt for a wild-card playoff spot as the Jags are currently the sixth seed, while the Colts are the eighth seed.

Part of the reason the Colts struggled Sunday was due to the absence of starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who missed the game due to an MCL sprain he sustained Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. His status for Week 11’s game is unknown but we’ll know more Wednesday when the first injury report is released.

Meanwhile, the Jags will be getting their starting signal-caller back as Nick Foles is ready to return from the collarbone injury he sustained Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. With the Jags in a spot where a loss would really hurt their playoff chances, they will need the veteran to quickly be the late season savior he was in Philly and bring the Jags their second divisional win of 2019.

The total for Sunday’s game is currently set at 44.5 points. The money line is set at +135 for the Jags, which means a wager of $100 on the Cardiac Cats would pay out $135.
