Jaguars vs. Colts: 5 bold predictions for the season final

4. Jaguars RB Dare Ogunbowale will go over 100 yards, score a TD.

Dare Ogunbowale made his first start of the 2021 season in Week 17 but it was only because the Jaguars’ top 3 running backs are on the shelf. Even though Jacksonville was pummeled by the New England Patriots, Ogunbowale ran hard, logging 36 yards on nine carries. He also had a 28-yard touchdown reception and should have more opportunities against the Colts.

The Jaguars aren’t the kind of team that will beat you with their passing game. Instead, pounding the ball is their best bet to win football games this season. The coaching staff needs to give Ogunbowale the football early and often against the Colts. If they do, he will finish the game with over 100 rushing yards and his second touchdown in as many weeks.

5. Trevor Lawrence will score two TDs, no interceptions in Week 18.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw three interceptions against the Patriots and has experienced growing pains for most of the season. However, he’s also shown flashes and has made the kind of throws that makes you feel good about the Jaguars’ decision to draft him first overall in 2021.

Keep in mind that the Jaguars did a poor job of building around their young quarterback, and it’s been hard to evaluate his rookie campaign due to the lack of support he’s had. Having said that, worked hard non-stop and will show out in Week 18. He will throw two touchdowns and no interceptions on route to the team’s third win of the year.
