HARMSITH!!
Tough divisional matchup at Jacksonville. The Jags have the second ranked scoring defense in the league and ran all over the Colts last year to the tune of 375 yards.
That being said Indy gets most of their injured players back (Addai and Harrison) and have kept trucking without them anyway. One of the keys to stopping the Jags running game is whether Safety Bob Sanders is playing or not. I'll have to check that.
EDIT:
Looks like Bob Sanders will be playing for the Colts and both Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew had limited practice time this week for the Jags, so might be some issue with the Jacksonville running game.

I was going to put it all on the Colts but after everyone saying the Jags.... I'm not real confident now.

This is a difficult choice tonight. The smart money is on the Colts, but the Jags have really looked good lately. The Colts always seem to do just enough to win. This is a division game, so the unusual seems to always occur. I'm going on a limb tonight.

Hey Harms!!
I always love your analysis!!
But, I'm not betting on neither tonight because it's such a big risk!! They are really close..
So how safe it is to put big money on the over in your opinion??

I really hate the over/under line. It really is a hit or miss type thing. I'd take the over though. I have no doubt the Colts will do their part in the over. Their season low is 20, but they average is almost 33 points/game. If the Jags can score at least 17, the over should be quite attainable. Of course, the line is set by Vegas and the pro handicappers know what the hell they are doing.

Ok, I'm still feeling this is a trap game for Indy. In Jacksonville, good scoring defense and good running game. Garrard is 1 of only 3 QB's in the league with a passer rating over 100 (Brady and Manning the 2 others). I'm thinking the Jags will eat clock and keep the Colts O off the field. I'm not confident in a Jags win, but I'm taking the under.
