NFL Betting Preview
Indianapolis Colts (5-0) at Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1)
Monday, 8:30 pm Eastern – ESPN
SBG Global Opening Line: Colts -3 , Total 44.5
The defending Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts face their first real test of the season as they travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars on Monday night. The Jaguars have been playing extremely well but have gotten little attention since the Colts and Patriots are still unbeaten. "We've been flying under the radar," Jaguars quarterback David Garrard said. "Now we want a little bit of that national spotlight." SBG Global reports that early betting has the public taking the favored Colts on the Road.
This will also be the toughest game for Jacksonville so far this season. The Jaguars lost their opener against Tennessee but have won four straight including a rout last week of Houston 37-17. The Colts have rolled at home in their three wins but on the road have just gotten by, winning 22-20 at Tennessee and 30-24 at Houston. The last time Indianapolis traveled to Jacksonville they were routed 44-17 as Jacksonville ran for 375 yards.
"You do learn from that and we will go back in and watch that film to try and prevent what happened," said Colts safety Bob Sanders, "It will be a big week for us, to see how this defense stands up against another good team."
Jacksonville has been running the ball very well of late with running back Maurice Jones-Drew running for 207 yards and three touchdowns the past two weeks. So far this season the Colts’ defense has been good giving up just 278.2 yards and 17.6 points per game.
