This week’s match up between the Colts and Jaguars was probably pegged as a walk in the park for Indy, even before the season got underway. What many people likely didn’t see coming is that both teams would be at 0-2 records after two weeks of play.
[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Okay, perhaps most predicted that the Jags would still be without a win, but the Colts are 0-2 for the first time since 2011 when Peyton Manning went down with a neck injury. This start also marks the first time in his career that QB Andrew Luck has lost back to back games.
Since 1990, only 12 per cent of teams that start 0-2 have made the playoffs and if either team wants to buck that trend this week is a must win game.
Jaguars
Let’s start with the home team who have been pretty much par for the course to this point. The Jags are just not a good football team, it’s that simple. They showed some flashes early in week one against the Eagles, jumping out to a 17-0 lead at half, only to lose by a count of 34-17. In week two against another NFC East opponent in the Washington Redskins, they were torched by backup QB Kirk Cousins to the tune of 41-10.
[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
If there’s one shred of a silver lining for the Jags this week it’s that they will get the comforts of home cooking, as their first two games of the year were on the road.
The Jags rank dead last in yards per game on offense 30th in points scored per game and dead last in points per game allowed on defense. It’s going to be a long year, sorry Jags fans.
Colts
If the Colts ever needed a game against Jacksonville, this is certainly it. After opening their season against two potent offenses in Denver and Philadelphia, the Colts get a break against one of, if not the worst offense in the league this week.
The Colts and Jags share not only their 0-2 records, but they were both victimized by Philadelphia Eagles comebacks. On Monday night the Colts looked to be in firm control and were eating the Eagles alive with their run game, storming out to a 20-6 lead at the half.
In the second half the Eagles made some adjustments on D and shut the run game down, and the Colts never quite recovered. Their defense ran out of gas late and the pace of Philly had them reeling.

NFL Week 3 Betting Trends
- IND are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. AFC South.
- IND are 13-3 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
- Under is 17-5 in IND last 22 vs. AFC South.
- JAC are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 home games.
- Under is 13-4-1 in JAC last 18 vs. AFC South.
- JAC are 3-8-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
- Road team is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 meetings.
This week will be a different story, if the Colts jump out to a big lead at half, they should have no trouble closing the deal against an offense that has scored just three second half points to this point in the season.
Week 3 Colts vs. Jaguars 4* Free Pick
I don’t really see any reason why the Colts shouldn’t roll the Jaguars in this one. Seven points is very generous to Jacksonville and if this game were being played in Indy, I’d expect it to be more in the realm of 14 points.
ATS Pick Colts -7 (-105)
Home field won’t help the Jags out much this week as the Colts are a playoff caliber team that is going to be out for blood this week after a disappointing 0-2 start.

Game 1 – Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints
Pointspread: New Orleans -9.5
Total Line: 51
I went against the Vikings last week as three-point home underdogs against New England not because of the whole Adrian Peterson mess, but because they are the Vikings.
[dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
I am going the same way this week given that Minnesota now has to go on the road to a place that even good teams cannot win games.
It is not all bad with the Vikings behind some decent play from quarterback Matt Cassel and a solid performance from the defense in Minnesota’s 34-6 victory over St. Louis on opening day, but this team is walking into a hornet’s nest this Sunday in New Orleans.
This Sunday the rubber meets the road at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, where the Saints desperately need a win to avoid a dreaded 0-3 start. The current pointspread has actually come down a bit after opening at 10.5 points which only makes this game all the more attractive.
[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
4* NFL Parlay Pick:
There is no doubt that New Orleans’ defense has had its issues in back-to-back losses to Atlanta and Cleveland as a road favorite, but a return to the Big Easy should quickly right the ship with a dominant win that covers the 9.5 points.
Game 2 – Houston Texans vs. New York Giants
Pointspread: Houston -2.5
Total Line: 42
The Texans are just one victory away from eclipsing last season’s win total after posting back-to-back wins over Washington and Oakland to start the year.
While that may not be such an impressive achievement given the way both of those teams have looked so far, you cannot deny how well Houston’s defense looked by allowing a grand total of just 20 points in the two wins.
JJ Watt is earning every penny of his new fat contract and the Texans are getting it done even with first-round pick Jadeveon Clowney out of the starting lineup due to injury.
New York was hoping to quickly erase the memory of last season’s 0-6 start, but it is becoming to be a reoccurring nightmare with losses to Detroit and Arizona by a combined score of 60-28 in the first two games this season.
[dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Eli Manning is up to his old tricks with four interceptions and the Giants’ overall turnover ratio is already at the bottom of the NFL at -5. This was the primary cause of last year’s slow start.
I fully expect head coach Tom Coughlin to once again circle the wagons to get his team out of this funk, but it is not going to happen this week against Houston’s defense.
4* NFL Parlay Pick:
The Texans will probably run their record to 3-0, but I am going with the UNDER 42 as my top pick in the back-end of this week’s two-team NFL parlay.
