Indianapolis Colts won't be playing in the play-offs but should be able to get a win this weekend. They are third in the AFC South and travel to Jacksonville Jaguars who are bottom of that division. The Colts are in that horrible ninth place overall in the AFC so won't get a wild card. It's agonising for them as they lose out to Oakland Raiders, who are also 7-8 for the season but beat the Colts in week 4 of the season. The Colts began the season well going to 5-2 but then fell apart with six defeats from their next seven games. They had lost four in a row before winning last week, an impressive 38-6 victory over Carolina Panthers.

The Jaguars aren't going to the play-offs either and are a disappointing 5-10 for the season. They have already played the Colts away from home in week 11 losing 33-13. Their end of season record last year was 5-11 and it looks as if they are going to match that achievement. The first eight weeks of the season saw them finish on 4-4 but any hopes of a wild card place started to evaporate when they went on a run of four staight defeats. Their only win in their last six matches has been against Oakland Raiders (how the Colts must wish they'd had that result).  Only one of their last five home matches have ended in victory and another defeat looms here. The tip is for an Indianapolis victory.
