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 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.
