Jaguars vs Colts prediction

Jaguars vs Colts Best bet: Jaguars team total Over 27.5 (-104)

These two met three weeks ago in Florida, with the Jacksonville Jaguars winning 36-19. That was the game in which Daniel Jones, who was already badly hurt, had his season ended. However, it was more the Indianapolis Colts' defense that led to the loss. 

The Jaguars scored 28 points in the first half — 14 off two turnovers — and also had two long drives that resulted in touchdowns.

Since their bye week in Week 8, the Jags have averaged 33.0 points per game. That includes scoring 34 on the Broncos, 35 on the Chargers, and 29 on the Texans. 

The Jaguars are 12-3 on their team total Over this year, the best record in the NFL in that category. They're especially good on the road, with a 7-0 record on the team total Over. A major reason has been Trevor Lawrence's play. 

T-Law has 14 touchdowns and no picks in his last four games, and Jacksonville is 8-for-11 in converting red zone possessions into TDs in their previous two outings. 

The Colts have allowed 48 and 36 points in two of their last three games, and the Jags have a ton to play for here.
