Preview and Week 16 NFL cappers matchup tips for this weeks Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Thursday Night Football matchup, plus an NFL Betting Preview, a look at the gambling trends, plus a free pick…

NFL Thursday Colts @ Jaguars

The Indianapolis Colts (10-4 SU, 6-7-1 ATS, 7-7O/U) have won seven consecutive games in the BetUS Sportsbook and look like they’re gearing up for an extended postseason run at this point. The Jacksonville Jaguars (5-9 SU, 4-10 ATS, 5-8-1 O/U) snapped their four-game losing streak the last time they took the field.  

On Thursday, the AFC South rivals will both be looking to pick up a victory when they battle at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.

The Colts are coming off a 31-21 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday, but failed to cover the spread for BetUS NFL sports betting backers as a 17-point home favorite last week.

Quarterback Peyton Manning completed 28 of 37 passes for 318 yards and one touchdown while veteran running back Dominic Rhodes rushed for 86 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 20 carries. Tight end Dallas Clark caught 12 passes for 142 yards and one touchdown.

The Jaguars handed the Green Bay Packers a 20-16 defeat, covering the spread as a 3-point underdog in the BetUS Sportsbook last week for the first time following four consecutive ATS losses.

“It’s been awhile,” Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said. “It was a happy locker room.”

Quarterback David Garrard completed 21 of 33 passes for 238 yards and a pair of touchdowns for Jacksonville while wide receiver Dennis Northcutt caught five passes for 127 yards and a touchdown in the win.

Here is a look at tonight’s key betting trends, followed by my in-depth analysis and NFL Free Pick:

The Colts are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games.
The Colts are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a road favorite of 3.5-10.0.
The Jaguars are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
The Jaguars are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a home underdog.
The Over is 4-0 in Colts last 4 vs. AFC South.
The Under is 5-0 in Jaguars last 5 games as an underdog.
The Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Jacksonville.
The Colts are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings. kj
The Underdog is 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

NFL Odds

Indianapolis Colts -6 -110
Jacksonville Jaguars +6 -110

Over 40 -110
Under 40 -110

Analysis: While the Jacksonville Jaguars are playing at home in this contest, I like the Indianapolis Colts to find a way to win this important late-season meeting. With Jacksonville’s season-long troubles on offense this season, I also say, take Indy to cover the spread narrowly as well.
