The Colts and Jaguars are both coming off of a bye to face each other for the first time this year. So who wins this fierce battle of division rivals?

Both teams are currently 3-5 on the season. The winner of the game will keep their playoff hopes alive. The loser is likely to have a high draft pick in April. With all of that being said, who wins this division clash in Indianapolis?

Andrew Luck should have a big game on Sunday. He should be able to move the ball down the field without too much issue. Marlon Mack should also have a big game. The Jags’ defense has had all kinds of issues lately. They did have a week to fix them, but it seems unlikely that they fixed them completely.

On the defensive side, the Colts have played pretty well all season long. That should only continue on Sunday. Blake Bortles has struggled all season long and has been a disaster. He got benched early this year. That shows that the team has very little confidence in him.

The wildcard is running back Leonard Fournette. He could be back for this game. He has been out the last few weeks with a hamstring injury. If he is back on Sunday, the Jaguars have a little bit of hope of moving the ball. They also have Carlos Hyde to help move it too.

Game Prediction: Colts 31 Jaguars 17

The game is in Indianapolis. The Colts will have the home-field advantage. They also have the more talented football team on the offensive side of the ball. If the Jags fall behind, it will be a big struggle to come back for them. I don’t see how that can happen. Colts should win easily.

dark. Next. Winner of Sunday's game still alive

A Colts win means that they are on their way to keeping their playoff hopes alive.
