Re-read. I was referring to this past Sunday's game against the Titans. That was utter domination.
I don't expect them to dominate Jacksonville on the road. But Indy will prepare and play this game like its the biggest of the year for them, and they will win. The earlier 10-3 game was an abberration, as the Colts offense just flat-out struggled through three first three weeks. Since then, they've scored 26 or more every week. Even so, I have Jacksonville holding them to 24.
And, unlike teams such as Cleveland, once the Colts get up on you, they don't let you back in the game.
I do think that after they beat Jacksonville and clinch home field, that they will probably relax and have their letdown against a San Diego team that will need a win much more desperately. I don't think going 16-0 means nearly as much to the team as winning the Super Bowl.
The Jags win in Indianapolis the year before was not an aberration, nor was the Jags win in Jacksonville the year before that. Even the two losses in between were close.
The Jags know how to play the Colts.
Despite the loss of Leftwich, the Jags too, have improved since they played in Indy. Our offensive production has picked up. Our offensive line is much better than the one we had in Indy. And we have a scrambling quarterback. Granted Garrard doesn't have Leftwich's arm. But against a speedy defense like the Colts, his mobility will be an advantage.
