Colts vs. Jaguars Free Pick
JACKSONVILLE, FL (The Spread) – Division rivals square off in Jacksonville tonight when the Jaguars host the Colts at 1:00PM ET.
INDIANAPOLIS: Andrew Luck completed 20-of-34 passes for 172 yards with three touchdowns but it was his one interception that cost the Colts a chance for their first win on Monday night versus the Eagles. There should have been a flag on the defense on the interception but no infraction was called and Philadelphia went on to tie the game at 27-27, then win the game 30-27 as a 3-point road dog. The loss dropped Indy to 0-2 on the year and 1-1 against the spread.
JACKSONVILLE: The Jaguars were blown out by the Redskins 45-10 in Week 2. Chad Henne threw for just 193 yards with one touchdown and one interception on 14-of-28 passing, while the entire team was held to just 25 yards rushing for the day. Despite Washington losing quarterback Robert Griffin III to a dislocated ankle, Kirk Cousins lit up Jacksonville’s defense for 250 yards and two touchdowns in the victory. The Jaguars are now 0-2 on the year and 0-2 against the spread after failing to cover as a 10-point road dog versus Philadelphia in Week 1 and as a 6-point road dog in Week 2.
