Colts open as massive 15-point favorites over Jaguars in Week 17

The Indianapolis Colts (10-5) will be wrapping up the regular season with a home matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-14) at Lucas Oil Stadium.

As the finale approaches, the Colts will open the week as massive 15-point favorites over the Jaguars, which is by far the largest spread they’ve seen this season. The total sits at 49.5 points with the Colts’ MoneyLine opening at -1100, per BetMGM.

The Colts will be looking to exact some revenge on the Jaguars after they opened the season with an embarrassing loss on the road. Indy was out of sorts during that game, which featured the season-ending injury to running back Marlon Mack.

Since then, the two teams have gone in opposite directions. The Colts are fighting for either a wild-card spot or the division—depending on how the final week shakes out—while the Jaguars have secured the No. 1 overall pick and likely the quarterback of their future in Trevor Lawrence.

The Colts are 8-7 against the spread this season with nine of their games hitting the over. Meanwhile, the Jaguars are 6-9 against the spread with eight of their games hitting the over.

The Colts should win this game even with a few injuries to monitor this week, and they have opened with the biggest spread of their season.
