There aren't many weeks that the Jacksonville Jaguars are favorites to win, but the Indianapolis Colts have been just that bad this season. The Jagaurs will be the road team, but our partners at Odds Shark opened with them as 3-point favorites over the Colts, who, need we remind you, have yet to win a game in nine tries this season.
The Jaguars feature a rookie quarterback who has struggled for the most part of the season in Blaine Gabbert, and have only been capable of beating teams with defense and their stalwart running back, Maurice Jones-Drew. They've had their moments, most notably a Monday night victory over the Baltimore Ravens, but for the most part, they've underperformed preseason expectations.
The Colts, on the other hand, have had no redeeming moments. Curtis Painter has looked good in spurts, but it's clear when watching them that they just can't get up to compete at their best anymore. There's no reason to bet on them until they prove they're capable of winning a game.
