The Indianapolis Colts (5-4) are preparing to host the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-5) on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium for a Week 11 divisional matchup.
As both starting quarterbacks are expected to return from injury, most believe this will be a physical battle in the trenches. The Colts opened the week as slight home favorites, but the NFL experts around the league are split on who will win.
Here’s a look at who some of the experts are picking for this Week 11 matchup:

After participating fully in Wednesday’s practice, Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett is expected to be ready to start. The 26-year-old missed the Week 10 home matchup with the Miami Dolphins due to a knee sprain.
On the flip side, the Jaguars will be seeing the return of quarterback Nick Foles, who suffered a broken collarbone in Week 1 against the Chiefs. Rookie Gardner Minshew has been under center since then.
As the Colts prepare to make a run for a playoff spot during the second half of the season, this Week 11 matchup will be crucial to ending the current slide the team is enduring.
