The Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets face off in a rematch of Super Bowl 3 (the only time the Jets made it to the Big Game) and for the first time since 2021 on Sunday.
However, these two teams have a long way to go before getting back to the Big Game.
The Colts have lost three straight games since starting season 4-3 and have made the decision to bench Joe Flacco and go back to Anthony Richardson at QB. Meanwhile, the Jets have lost six of their last seven games and were carved up last week by Kyler Murray and the Cardinals in a 31-6 drubbing.
Look for the Colts to lean on Jonathan Taylor and their run game against a struggling Jets defense this week. Taylor is coming off a nice day in a losing effort against the Bills, finishing with 21 carries for 114 yards, but failed to reach the end zone. In fact, Taylor hasn’t scored a TD since Week 8, but if you expect that trend to change against a Jets defense allowing 134 rushing yards per game, it might be smart to take JT’s anytime TD odds at (-110).
For the Jets, it’s all about Aaron Rodgers; and one thing you can count on is him looking for Davante Adams. The duo only connected on six passes for 31 yards in Week 10 -- but that came on 13 targets. That marks the second week in a row that Adams has seen double-digit targets (11 in a Week 9 victory vs. Texans), so it seems Rodgers is looking for Adams, regardless of game script. If you think Rodgers will continue to look for Adams this week, it might make sense to take the Over on Adams’ catches once that number posts and maybe sprinkle on his anytime TD prop at (+105).
Other than those plays mentioned above, lets dive into the matchup and find a sweat or two.
