“At 3-4, we knew what the problems were,” coach Tony Dungy said. “A lot of it was ourselves and our execution. That’s what we focused on, more so than pointing the finger at someone or figuring out who was to blame. A lot of that gets back to the players really listening to the coaches.” The OVER/UNDER for this Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Picks has been set at a combined total of 44 points.

But these are completely different teams late in the season, as the Jags never surpass the early funk they fell into. “I’m sure they would like to knock us out,” Dungy said. “We haven’t really been in that situation, but when you are and you can’t get in, that’s the motivation, especially if it’s a division rival. I’m sure they’d like to keep us out of the playoffs, so I’m sure we’ll get their best.”
