The Jacksonville Jaguars are still looking for their first win in 2016. They host the Indianapolis Colts in the team’s home away from home in London, England.
Does anyone recall the last time the Jacksonville Jaguars won a regular-season football game?
Chuck Pagano certainly does. Back in Week 14 of 2015, the Indianapolis Colts headed to South Florida having beaten their divisional rival from the Sunshine State six straight times. The Colts were also riding a 16-game winning streak vs. their AFC South neighbors that dated back to final week of 2012.
Of course, all good things must come to an end and thanks to their offense, defense and kick return units, the Jaguars rolled to a 51-16 win over the eventual 8-8 Colts.

Unfortunately for Blake Bortles, Allen Robinson and the rest of the Jaguars, that’s been it in terms of getting back into the win column. Gus Bradley’s squad dropped its final three games last season and is off to yet another 0-3 start this fall.
Odds
Line: Colts (-2.5)
Over/Under: 49
The Colts have been less than sensational this season and are coming off their first victory of the year, rallying to beat the San Diego Chargers. But it’s been a sporadic two weeks for quarterback Andrew Luck, who has thrown for a combined 528 yards and two touchdowns in the split with the Denver Broncos and Chargers. But he has turned over the ball four times — three of those miscues (one interception, two lost fumbles) returned for touchdowns — and completed just 51.7 of his passes (45-of-87) while being sacked seven times.

We’re going to give the Jaguars one more chance here. Their offense has sputtered the last two weeks and this past Sunday against the Ravens, running backs Chris Ivory and T.J. Yeldon combined for 18 carries and 31 yards on the ground. That will change in a hurry this week against Indianapolis’ shoddy run defense. And while Andrew Luck will put up his share of numbers, look for a late and costly turnover by the young quarterback to preserve Jacksonville’s first win of 2016.
Pick: Jacksonville 24, Indianapolis 20
