Colts - 5-0 (against; Saints, Titians, Texans, Broncos, and the Bucs), haven't lost a MNF game in five years, and as much as it pains me to say, Peyton Manning is not only a good player, but he is a great leader and he will LEAD his team to another defeat
Jags - 4-1 (against; Titans [L], Falcons, Broncos, Chiefs, Texans, I give this team a lot of credit and they are truly are force to be reckoned with...and no, they will NOT hand over an easy MNF victory, it will be ugly and tough for Indy, but it will be another W for Indy in the long run.
First, the Colts are the Colts, in this league that counts for something, secondly the Colts are lead by the Dungy and Payton Manning, their receiving core is great and their running game is on point, true the same could be said for the Jags, but they cannot claim as impressive a leadership core, Gerard and Del Rio aren't tops of nothing...yet!
Those are just my opinions, so let's see what the Stats indicate?
Colts
Total Offense - 355.2 yards per game
Total Defense - 304.2 yards per game
Average Points Scored - 20pts
Average Points Allowed - 11.6pts
Jags
Total Offense - 402.8 yards per game
Total Defense - 278.2 yards per game
Average Points Scored - 32.8 20pts
Average Points Allowed - 11.6pts
Looking at the stats the only area the Jags appear to have the upper hand is in their offensive stats, but as we all know Indy has one impressive offensive unit, and Gerard and friends come close but they don't compare. From the QB perspective alone, Peyton has a passer rating of 108.6 (1319 yards and 10 TD's) while Gerard has a passer rating of 104.7 (1069 yards and 6 TD's) so, there you have it...the Colts have the advantage in their coaching core, their offensive unit, and the STATS don't lie, in their defensive unit....AS I SAID EARLIER....INDY with the W!

The Colts are who we think they are. "First, the Colts are the Colts, in this league that counts for something" They put their pants on one leg at a time, tie their shoes one foot at a time.
Stats don't win games, people inside television sets do. Jax' second unit has given up points & passing yds at the end of the last 2 games when the games were well in hand, so stats don't always tell the story.
Since week 1's mess, we've given up 82, 47, 10, and 61 yds rushing. That means we are among the league best...
Indy always has trouble against physical teams, Ten, Pit, & yes, Jax.
But hey, you have a 50% chance of being correct and a right to your opinion, no need for me to try & change your mind...

Jags cannot win against good teams without a consistent QB. If there starter stays hurt; they are in big trouble. Their back-up QB is horrible. Indy and the pats will be a great game this season and for the chance at the SB.
