*Free trial test drive |
TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS.
The home team has won eight of the last nine games in this series.
ABOUT THE JAGUARS (4-5): Jacksonville comes off its bye week in last place in the AFC South but with plenty of opportunity to turn things around with Foles back and two games against Indianapolis and another against Tennessee down the stretch. "I look at every (game as "must win)" - for me, you go into it like that," Jaguars coach Doug Marrone told reporters. "I try to address it to the team as, 'You've got to ignore all the stuff on the outside because this league is crazy; you never know what's going to happen.' You only have 16 opportunities. You go in there and give everything you can for each one." Foles will have a mostly healthy roster to work with as wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck), cornerback D.J. Hayden (neck) and linebacker Quincy Williams (hamstring) all returned to practice after sitting out the 26-3 loss to Houston prior to the bye.
Jaguars are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings.
ABOUT THE COLTS (5-4): Veteran kicker Adam Vinatieri missed a chance at a game-winning field goal in a 26-24 loss at Pittsburgh in Week 9 and missed a key extra point attempt against Miami, prompting the team to bring in kickers for tryouts this week. "As far as Adam is concerned, Adam is our kicker," Indianapolis coach Frank Reich told reporters. "He's not just our kicker, he's a leader on our team, he's a captain, his presence is important. We feel we need him going forward and have the utmost confidence in him." The Colts decided to stick with Vinatieri, who is 14-of-19 on field goals and 14-of-20 on extra-point attempts this season.
