This year’s record: 8-4.
It feels like each week the Jaguars find themselves in bigger and bigger games, and none is bigger than this Sunday’s matchup at home against the Colts. There’s been plenty of talk about “the streak,” but every year is different, and none of that will matter if the Jags don’t take care of business. With the weather being a concern, I think it comes down to the two things I feel like I mention every week: running the ball and stopping the run. If the Jaguars can get the ground game going and keep Jonathan Taylor from having a big day, they should be able to control the line of scrimmage and come away with a victory. So give me the Jaguars. — Jaguars 24, Colts 20.

The Colts not winning in Jacksonville is an annual tradition. Indianapolis is reeling and banged up. The Jaguars aren’t firing on all cylinders, but they’re winning. And I think this is one they treat like a playoff game. — Jaguars 28, Colts 24.

This year’s record: 6-6.
There is a lot of anticipation heading into the Jaguars game Sunday hosting the Colts. Not only are the Jags on a three-game win streak, but they’re now atop the AFC South with Indianapolis. Head coach Liam Coen said “we all know what’s riding on these kind of games. Division games in December.” This is clearly a new team that is mentally tougher than the previous regime. With that, I think the Jags will rise to the occasion and win. — Jaguars 24, Colts 17.

This year’s record: 7-5.
I can’t pick a team with a QB with one good leg. And they are Sauce-less. The Jags streak lives for another year. Death, taxes and the Colts lose in Jacksonville. — Jaguars 28, Colts 18.
