The Indianapolis Colts need a win here to clinch back-to-back playoff berths for the first time since 2013-14. The Colts have covered six straight on the road and are 6-3 against the spread in their last nine as a double-digit favorite. The Jacksonville Jaguars just got slaughtered last week by the Patriots, and they’ve scored 17 or fewer points in nine of their last 10 games. This is a massive line, but it’s damn near impossible to find the courage to side with the Jaguars. It’s Colts or pass for me.
