BodogLife – Jaguars +3
The Jacksonville Jaguars will welcome the undefeated Indianapolis Colts to Jacksonville Municipal Stadium for Monday Night Football.
The Jacksonville Jaguars spanked the Colts last year 44-17 and will be looking to do the same this year. The Jags are coming off two wins at home. Their rushing game has been outstanding so far, they’re averaging 195 yards a game. When the Colts played Denver in week 5 they allowed 223 yards rushing, which the Jags will want to take advantage of. The Jags defense has not allowed their opponents to score more than 17 points, they’ve forced 7 turnovers in three games and they’ve held their opponents to no more than 100 yards rushing. QB David Gerrard has thrown for 1,069 yards with 6 TDs and NO interceptions. He’s the only QB with no interceptions.
The Indianapolis Colts only loss after a bye week was to the Jaguars, which is who they play after this bye week. The Colts will have to stop the Jags rush, which they managed to do last week against the Buccaneers but the Bucs were without their top two RBs. In the last two games the Colts have out scored their opponents 71-34. The Colts rushing game may be in jeopardy against this tough Jaguar defense, but they should be able to utilize their red hot TE Dallas Clark. Clark’s caught a TD pass in four consecutive games.
Call me CRAZY but i like the Jaguars in this one. The Jaguars have won their last two consecutive MNF match ups and they humiliated the Colts last year. Despite the Jags home loss to Tennessee they’ve won two consecutive games at home. The Colts have to lose sometime! To bet the NFL go to BodogLife now.
I took the Jags in this one as well. They always play the Colts tough and I had them taking at least one form them coming into the season. I would feel more comfortable if the Colts were not coming off a bye week but…I’m going Jags anyway.
