The Colts are the better team and have better talent so I like the Colts here. However, word of caution. Jerraud Powers and Vontae Davis, the Colts starting cornerbacks have been ruled out for the game. Also, I never like the road teams on the road on a short week. This year the home teams are 6-2 this year on Thursday night games. Lastly, the juiced opened today at -118, but right now its -113, which makes me think there’s a lot of money on the Jaguars. If it was me, I wouldn’t play this game.

I’m the highest this week on Vic Ballard at 19 for two reasons: A) he has the best tool set of all the Colts running backs and B) it looks like Donald Brown will be out for the game (or at least very limited), allowing Ballard to get the bulk of the work and catch a few balls.

With the Colts cornerbacks out for the game, Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackmon are high end and low end wide #3 receivers respectively.

I’m not buying Dwayne Allen (I have him at 17) because of the one game breakout last week. If I needed a buy week fill-in I would pick up someone else whose more stable and has a better opportunity to predict performance.
