About the matchup:
It’s been the same story all season. The Jacksonville Jaguars follow up a win, with a loss. Now with a 3-3 record, if the pattern continues the Jags should beat the Indianapolis Colts on the road. And in fact, the team does open as 3-point road favorites.
The biggest question going into the game will be how much the Jags can expect out of RB Leonard Fournette, who sprained his right ankle in the 4th quarter of last week’s loss. Fournette has accounted for 36.4 percent of the Jaguars’ total offensive yardage, and would be a huge loss if limited.
If the Jags can win this divisional rivalry game, they could create some separation in the AFC South standings, as Jacksonville is currently in a three way tie with the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans, with the Colts one game back.
Three and out:
1. The Jaguars released kicker Jason Myers after two misses in last week’s loss. They have since signed former Charger Josh Lambo.
2. This is the second time this season the Jags have been listed as a Vegas favorite, although they did lose the game they were previously favored in.
3. Rookie WR Dede Westbrook could be the offensive help the Jags need to balance their attack as he is eligible to come off of injured reserve after the bye week.
