Key Matchups and Handicap: Colts vs Jaguars
Jacksonville has controlled this AFC South rivalry recently, going 5-1 straight up and against the spread over the last six meetings. Indianapolis’ lone win in that stretch came in Week 18 of the 2024-25 season and required overtime. These games have also produced points, with six of the last seven meetings going over the total. The only under was the most recent meeting in December of last year.
Jacksonville comes in fresh off its bye week after a two-week trip to London, where it beat Philadelphia before losing an AFC South showdown against Houston. Even while off last week, the Jaguars came out ahead, as the other three teams in the division all lost. Jacksonville now holds a 2.5-game lead atop the standings after Houston lost as a double-digit home favorite against the Giants. The Jaguars haven’t played a home game in over a month, so they should be eager to put on a show for the Duval faithful.
Indianapolis is heading in the opposite direction. The Colts are on the verge of a complete rebuild, with general manager Chris Ballard already fired and head coach Shane Steichen appearing headed down the same path. Running back Jonathan Taylor and wide receiver Josh Downs are both expected to draw interest on the trade market. With that kind of cloud hanging over the organization, it’s not easy for a team to perform.
It’s fair to give Indianapolis a pass for a tough early stretch that included the Ravens, Chiefs, and Texans, but the Colts’ schedule has been very comfortable over the last month.
Allowing 34 points to Pittsburgh hasn’t aged well, either, considering the Steelers found the end zone just once against the Saints last week. Motivation is also a real question. If a Colts player is battling a nagging injury, how hard will he push to play knowing he could be moved to a playoff contender in the coming days?

ATS and Total Picks for Colts vs Jaguars
ATS Pick: The spread has jumped from 7.5 to 10, and Jacksonville still deserves the backing. The Jaguars are rested, finally back home, and have gone 5-1 ATS over the last six meetings. Indianapolis is an organization in turmoil, with a fired GM, a coach on the hot seat, and key players on the trade block. It’s hard to trust a team in that situation to compete for four quarters. Take the Jaguars -10.
Total Pick: The total has slipped from 47.5 to 46.5, creating value on the over. Six of the last seven meetings between these teams have gone over, and Jacksonville should be motivated to put on a show in its long-awaited return home. The Colts’ defense allowed 34 points to a Pittsburgh offense that managed just one touchdown against New Orleans. Take the over 46.5.
