NFL Odds: Indianapolis Colts (-7) -110 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (+7) -110: Over/Under 46

The Colts really looked like they were running a clinic last week at Mile High Stadium, as they devoured the NFL odds and smashed the Broncos 27-13 in a game that was never really out of their control. Yes, Indianapolis had several tense moments in the game, but every time something big was needed, No. 18 stepped up to the plate.

Peyton Manning is still one of the best in the biz, and his numbers prove it once again this year. Manning has thrown for 1,013 yards and nine TDs without tossing an INT on the year, and his 69.1 completion percentage is amongst the best in the NFL.

The question, as always, is whether the Colts can stop the run or not. They did so last week with no problems, holding Denver to just 47 yards on 18 carries, but the Jags have averaged 180.6 YPG on the ground in their L/8 against them.

As for the Jaguars, they’re going to have their work cut out for them if they want to beat the NFL odds on Sunday.

David Garrard not only has to look over his shoulder at Luke McCown now, but at the newly acquired Trent Edwards as well. Garrard is only completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 448 yards and four scores against five picks this year, numbers which certainly aren’t good enough at this level.

The Jags were outgained by 213 yards last week in a 28-3 home defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles, which might signal the beginning of the end of the 2010 season. Jacksonville has allowed 66 points over the L/2 weeks against playoff caliber opponents, but neither of them are up to the level of Manning and the Colts. Needless to say, it will be an uphill climb to conquer the NFL odds in this one.

NFL Insider Tip: The Jags are just 7-25 ATS in their L/32 games on grass against the NFL odds.
This is just a bad case of a big time mismatch for the Jags. Jacksonville just isn’t ready to step up to the plate and beat this type of a team, regardless of whether it is home or away. Put up more nail in Jack Del Rio’s coffin as the head coach of the Jaguars.

Peyton and company will beat the NFL odds on Sunday.
