No angle or situation wins 100 percent of the time. Yes we did bet on the Jags last week for similar reasons. The Seahawks were also in a sandwich game, but did put a hurting on the Jaguars, limiting our premium picks to hitting just 67 percent on Sunday and Monday.

However, instead of traveling 2,983 to play at the toughest field for road teams in the NFL, Jacksonville plays as a huge home underdog.

The Colts are not only off a big win to NFC Champion 49ers, but also play host Seattle next week. This a big letdown spot.

Blaine Gabbert returns for Jacksonville. Frankly it is not substantial news from a handicapping standpoint, but he is the lesser of two evils and gives the Jaguars an emotional lift.

Maurice Jones-Drew is back in the line-up and is big-time playmaker. Jacksonville has a ton of rookies and young players are much better at home than on the road.

Jacksonville is likely to abandon the zone blocking schemes that they have struggled with. Add that to having their best playmaker in MJD plus their quarterback who has the best upside, the classic sandwich game and the Jags just may evade an 0-16 season soon than most think.
