Thursday Betting
The Indianapolis Colts will try to clinch an AFC postseason berth on Thursday when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup plus the sports betting picks rundown.
The Gridiron Spotlight
Winners of seven games in a row, Peyton Manning and company can lock up a Wild Card berth by beating the division-rival Jaguars on Thursday night. However, while the Colts are now a healthy 10-4 straight-up on the season, they’re just 5-9 against-the-spread through 14 games. That ATS mark didn’t get any help last week as the Colts only managed to beat the winless Lions 31-21;
The Jaguars have been even worse for the bankroll this season, going 4-10 ATS.
Oddsmakers have the Colts pegged as 6.5-point favorites on the road for Thursday night, with the game’s total at 44 points.
