The Jaguars are 7-3 all-time on Monday night, the best record in the league, and their home crowd figures to be amped for what is always the game to circle on the Jacksonville schedule. From a standpoint of emotion, the Jags will have the edge. But how many times in the past few years have we seen Indianapolis coolly dismiss an opponent that looks primed for a statement win? Many, and we'll see one more on Monday. This Colts team has the ability to slow the Jacksonville run, and will challenge Garrard and the receivers to make more plays than they are accustomed to. As for the Indy offense, look for Manning to chip away for 60 minutes, hitting his targets, moving the ball slowly down the field, keeping the ball out of the hands of the Jacksonville offense. In other words, the same as it ever was.
Predicted Outcome: Colts 31, Jaguars 17
