NFL Picks: Indianapolis Colts vs Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Odds Week 15: When you’ve clinched the most wins in a decade (114), the most consecutive regular season victories in NFL history (22) and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs during the current campaign, what else can there possibly left for a team to play for that they’ve yet to accomplish? How about, a perfect season!
That’s the scenario that first-year head coach Jim Caldwell and his (13-0) Indianapolis Colts [-3½] face, as they visit the sports betting odds underdog (7-6) Jacksonville Jaguars [+3½] tonight on the NFL-Network. This AFC South divisional battle gets underway tonight at 8:25 PM ET and the OVER/UNDER is set at a total of 43 points.
For the Colts, they captured their sixth AFC South title in seven years after a 35-27 win at the Houston Texans. Last week, the undefeated Colts set the table for the postseason, as they clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a 28-16 victory against the Broncos.
So what’s next for this team with three weeks remaining in the regular season calendar? "We're going to approach the 14th game exactly like we did one through 13. We're going to prepare just like we did for the first 13 and we're going to play just like we did the first 13," coach Caldwell said. "The only thing that would deter anyone from playing is a health issue.
"We're not going to assign numbers, in terms of plays, for anybody. We didn't do that for the first 13 games, and we're not going to do it for No. 14, either."
For Jacksonville, their season may come down to tonight’s game, as one more loss would likely take them right out of playoff contention. The Jags are desperately trying to avoid missing the tournament for the 8th time in ten years.
"We know that we have to win out," third-year guard, Uche Nwaneri said. "That's really the only way to ensure that we'll be in the playoffs. You don't want to leave it to needing to win this and hope these people lose or these people lose. We control our own fate. We still have that fortunately.
"It's going to be a tough, three-game season. But this is what you play football for, for opportunities to force yourself into the playoffs."
