They are physical on both sides of the ball, try to slow down the pace of the game and they work hard to avoid mistakes and turnovers.
The Colts are coming off a bye week, so they are well rested and reasonably healthy, but they routinely struggle when they play the Jags and they are not at their best when they are forced into a fistfight. Jacksonville will try to establish a physical between-the-tackles run game that eats up the clock, and more importantly keeps Manning's offense off the field and the undersized Colts' defense on the field. Indianapolis will try to spread the field and utilize the passing game to get out to an early lead and force Jacksonville to abandon the run game and start throwing the ball, which is not the Jaguars' strength.
This is going to be a very close game and while it is important for both teams, this would be a monumental win for Jacksonville. Unfortunately for the Jaguars, Manning has had two weeks to prepare and that gives the Colts a slight edge and they will win on an Adam Vinatieri field goal.
