The Jacksonville Jaguars are winless through two games and haven't showed much to get fans excited save for a strong first half against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. Jacksonville being winless at this point isn't exactly surprising, but the Indianapolis Colts sharing the 0-2 record certainly falls under the "unexpected" category.
NFL picks and predictions 2014: Colts vs. Jaguars
The Indianapolis Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars are both 0-2, but experts unanimously favor the Colts in this game.

Indianapolis fell to the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 1, which isn't exactly surprising, but dropping the Week 2 game against the aforementioned Eagles was a shock. The Colts allowed the Eagles a late comeback and have now allowed 61 points through two games. There's a few tough games still on the schedule, but it's worth noting things look a little easier from here on out. That includes this game against the Jaguars.
Jacksonville surprised plenty of folks with its play against the Eagles, but followed that up with an embarrassing loss to the Washington football team. Washington dominated that game from start to finish and the Jaguars, who rank 28th in passing yards, 32nd in rushing yards, 26th in pass defense and 28th in rush defense, are looking for answers.
Few think they’ll find them this week. The experts have submitted their picks and they’re unanimous all across the board. All eight of the experts picking for CBS Sports went with the Colts and all 13 experts with ESPN made the same call. Both of Yahoo! Sports’ experts and all five of NFL.com’s experts also went that way.
But what of SB Nation’s own experts? Of the seven picking, all also went with the Colts, even PFT Commenter, and that’s saying a lot.

| IND vs. JAX | IND | IND | IND | IND | IND | IND | IND |
The betting lines also heavily favor the Colts in this matchup. Indianapolis opened as a 7-point favorite and could be found favored by 7.5 points mid-week, according to OddsShark. The over/under opened at 45 and given the defense of the Jaguars ... well, the over might be a solid bet.
