Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Indianapolis Colts

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Friday 8 December 2006 at 10:57 pm
The Colts have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are starting to show cracks in the foundation of their team.  The Jaguars are 5-1 at home this season and have out-scored their opponents 150-47 in those games.

The Colts will probably come out running the ball to attempt to keep their own defense off the field.  Joseph Addai (845 yards rushing) and Dominic Rhodes (521 yards rushing) will try their best against the Jags stiff run defense that is only allowing 91.5 yards rushing and 3.5 yards per carry this season.  Peyton Manning will still get to throw the ball downfield to Marvin Harrison (68 rec, 993 yards) and Reggie Wayne (62 rec, 1,019 yards), but he must always know where Reshean Mathis is.  Mathis has already intercepted 7 passes and returned them 146 yards.

The Jaguars will run the football all game long against the sorry Colts run defense.  Fred Taylor (952 yards rushing), Maurice Drew (500 yards rushing) and David Garrard should all have good games against the Colts who allow 159.9 yards rushing and 5.1 yards per carry so far this season.  Look for Garrard to make a few connections with Matt Jones, who’s suddenly got very hot.

The Jaguars will win this football game.  They are just too nasty for the Colts and they have the perfect offense to take advantage of the Colts pathetic defense.
