Colts vs. Jaguars Prediction

I know it’s easy to sit here and say that the Jaguars being 0-4 shouldn’t be favored against anyone. However, there’s a strong possibility that Jonathan Taylor misses this Game and if he does, that’s huge for the Colts. The Jaguars were there nip and tuck with the Texans in last week’s loss and at a certain point I have to think enough is enough for the Jags who were AFC South champions no less than two years ago. I’ll side with Jacksonville to snag their first win.
