After week one, the potential of the Colts suffering from the Super Bowl curse loomed large but with two dominant wins over the NY Giants and the Denver Broncos, even curse can’t stop Manning.

The defense is a concern. Arian Foster of the Texans ran for 232 yards but the following week the Colts defense held the Giants to 120 yards. Last week Kyle Orton threw for 476 yards, this week, they play a Jaguars team that claimed Trent Edwards on waivers and Coach Del Rio said they were happy to have him.

The Jaguars are winless on the season and a win doesn’t look good this week.

The Jaguars offense is bad. They’ve averaged 13.3 points a game, they are 30 th in the league is passing yards with just 166 yards a game. Quarterback David Garrard has completed 59.5% of his passes for just 448 yards and four touchdowns and five interceptions.

The lone bright spot for the Jags is Maurice Jones-Drew but at just 227 yards on the season, his numbers are way down from his career average.

Defensively, the Jags are giving up 289 passing yards a game, which ranks them 29 th in the league. They are in the middle of the pack against the run but it’s safe to assume the Colts won’t be calling many run plays.

The Colts at -7 is a gift to bettors. The Jags won’t stop the Peyton Manning. They won’t even slow him down. This will be a blow out of epic proportions.
