The Story in 60 Seconds

Matt Ehalt of the New York Post predicts the Jacksonville Jaguars will cover a 10-point spread against the Indianapolis Colts in their Week 8 matchup. The Colts enter the game as heavy underdogs following roster departures, including the exit of their general manager and trades involving guard Quenton Nelson and defensive lineman DeForest Buckner.

Ehalt argues that Jacksonville's league-leading run defense, which permits only 72.2 rushing yards per game, creates a difficult matchup for Jonathan Taylor and Indianapolis. He notes that limiting the run game puts pressure on quarterback Daniel Jones, while Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars offense should benefit from facing a depleted Colts defense.
