This year’s record: 11-4.
Man, it feels good to be at the top. With two games left to go, I am 11-4 with the picks, and the Jaguars are also 11-4. That means I can’t start picking against them now, and I certainly won’t. The Jaguars do have to take care of business this week against the Colts in order to keep rising and building momentum. This is a perfect opportunity to do that. Trevor Lawrence needs to continue playing the best ball of his career, and the defense needs to shut down the run. If they can do that, they can leave Indianapolis with a win and be one step closer to the ultimate goal. — Jaguars 28, Colts 17.

I went against my gut last week and it cost me a game in the standings. No way I’ll pick against Jacksonville the next two weeks. Indianapolis is in freefall and the Jaguars still have a shot at the No. 1 seed in the AFC. — Jaguars 35, Colts 20.

This year’s record: 9-6.
Just three weeks ago, the Jaguars beat the Colts in a game that was dubbed the most important game in franchise history. Sunday is an equally important game, as the Jags have the chance to win the AFC South title for the first time in three years. Trevor Lawrence is playing the best ball of his career, and I don’t think that’s letting up this week.— Jaguars 36, Colts 19.

This year’s record: 10-5.
This is a sneaky tough game. The Jaguars haven’t had a ton of success in Indy. The key isn’t worrying about Old man Rivers, it’s about slowing down Jonathan Taylor. I think the Jags should fair pretty well, but it will be a close call. — Jaguars 28, Colts 24.
