This is a pretty heavy turn toward the Jaguars. They are coming off two impressive wins in London, and they took care of business on the road against the Colts in Week 1 so it doesn’t come as a surprise.
We should expect the Colts to be competitive, though. They’ve been a scrappy team all season, and they’re getting healthier despite the fact that they’ll be without Anthony Richardson.
We’ll see if the Colts can pull off the road upset when these two AFC South teams kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday in Duval County.
