Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Indianapolis Colts vs Jacksonville Jaguars is a AFC South rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. This projects as a coin flip, 55-45 with the spread at IND -0.5. Only 1 spot separate them in the power rankings, about as even as it gets.
Tactically, Indianapolis Colts will want to lean on bell-cow back to attack Jacksonville Jaguars, whose line depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Jacksonville Jaguars's disruptive edge could punish Indianapolis Colts if secondary goes unaddressed. It is the kind of trade-off decided in the margins: third down, the trenches, and the turnover battle.
Keep an eye on Michael Pittman Jr. (WR) and Trevor Lawrence (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Colts get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
