00:00So, boy, have we seen a shift in the division with the Colts and the Jaguars.

00:05Jacksonville is an underdog this week, but are the favorites right now to win the division.

00:12A total of 46 and a half as the Colts play the Jags.

00:15We know Daniel Jones is not 100% in this one.

00:19Jacksonville has been very tough to read.

00:21It feels like at times they do look like the best team in the division.

00:25And by the way, Mike, they're saying that, you know, Jacksonville's got lucky in some games.

00:29I would play the other side, too.

00:31They had Houston beat a few weeks ago and gave that game away in the fourth quarter.

00:36So, to me, they're one of those kind of teams that I can see easily winning this game, easily losing this game.

00:43Very tough to read for me.

00:44And also, I think the key for the Colts at this point, Mike, I don't know if you'd agree or disagree,

00:49is that teams have decided Jonathan Taylor's not beating them anymore.

00:52So, it's going to have to be somebody else.

00:54He's slowed down significantly.

00:55I don't even know that it's his fault.

00:56Yeah, I think the offensive line is not playing as well as they did earlier in the season.

01:01And Daniel Jones is suffering the impacts of that as well.

01:05I think you have a good read on the Jaguars, which is to say that it's hard to get a read on them.

01:10You were more bullish on them going into the season than I was.

01:14They've certainly played above my expectations to this point in the season.

01:17It is, however, much like other teams, the Steelers and the Bears are two of these teams as well.

01:23And I know the Steelers are falling apart before our very eyes.

01:26But all three of those teams force a lot of turnovers.

01:29And as long as that turnover luck is on your side, you're going to keep winning games.

01:36But does it cover up some of the warts that your team has?

01:41I have to give Liam Cohen a lot of credit, 8-4 in his first season.

01:46He's tied for the divisional lead.

01:47He has a chance to take control of it this weekend.

01:50I give him additional credit and the team additional credit for blowing that game terribly against Houston and bouncing back with two huge wins.

01:59Frankly, two blowout wins back-to-back.

02:01So I think this one's a really interesting one.

02:04We know about the Colts' inability to win in Jacksonville historically.

02:10The Jags have won quite a few of these games of the last few, three of the last four in the matchup against the Colts.

02:18So I think it's a very tough game to call.

02:23I'm going with the Jaguars, though.

02:24As somebody that I would say has not been a huge believer of them, I'm really concerned about the Colts.

02:30The Colts' defense giving up a lot of points.

02:32I think the Jags do enough to take control of it.

02:35And give me a home divisional dog every time.

02:38Mike alluding to my Super Bowl pick at the beginning of the season, Jacksonville.

02:42I'm not backing off.

02:42Why not?

02:43Anything can happen.

02:44I'm not ruling anything out.
