There isn't a great deal of disparity in talent at the NFL level, which is partly why there's so much parity. We recently saw the winless New York Jets beat the Rams on the road as a 17-point underdog. Now Jacksonville has the longest losing streak in the league, 14 in a row. But they've lost games by 3, 8, 10, 2, 4, 2, and 3 points, along with a 27-20 victory over these Colts as a +7 dog. QB Gardner Minshew II (16 TDs, 5 INTs) has had a decent campaign while RB James Robinson (check status) has topped 1,000 yards. Robinson (ankle), is unlikley to play on Sunday, leaving the door open for RB Dare Ogunbowale to strut his stuff. Ogunbowale had 17 touches for 78 yards against the Bears last Sunday. Indianapolis has to hope the Ravens, Browns, Titans, or Dolphins lose one of the early games for them to have a shot at the playoffs, otherwise this game is meaningless. The Colts are 10-22 ATS at home after a loss by six points or less and the Jaguars are 9-1-1 ATS versus Indy. Back Jacksonville.
