00:00 The winner of tonight's game, if Jacksonville is beat by the
00:08 Tennessee Titans tomorrow, a game that'll be started by
00:11 Ryan Tannehill for Tennessee as opposed to either Will Levis or
00:14 Malik Willis, then the winner of this game tonight wins the
00:18 division. Plus 410 on Houston, plus 440 Indianapolis. At the
00:23 moment, the Jags price to win the division is unsurprisingly
00:26 and it should be the same as their money line for tomorrow at
00:29 minus 198. Yeah, I think when you look at the night game, I
00:32 mean two teams that are doing it in a little bit different
00:35 ways, right? We see D'Amico Ryans and Houston right now and
00:38 their quarterback, CJ Stroud, just lighting up opposing
00:42 secondaries, averaging around 260 passing yards per game.
00:46 Indianapolis giving up around 224 yards on the ground, but
00:50 Indianapolis, in my opinion, a little bit better rushing
00:53 attack, right? Jonathan Taylor now back in that offense.
00:56 Offensive line has been productive over back-to-back
00:59 weeks. They grind out a victory over Las Vegas last week, 23 to
01:03 20. They get the win but no cover, but you look at the
01:06 front seven of Houston and I think that's where D'Amico
01:09 Ryans has really made his footprint in terms of this team.
01:12 Kevin holding opposing offenses right in the area of about 90
01:16 rushing yards per game, 3.3 yards per carry. That's gonna
01:20 be the matchup. Shut down Jonathan Taylor, put the game
01:23 back on Gardner Minshew. If they could get some quarterback
01:25 pressures, long third down situations, I think they win
01:28 this ballgame. The line opened up at one. It's up to one and a
01:32 half. I do favor Donny Houston in this ballgame. I originally
01:36 thought over because of both quarterbacks, but because this
01:39 is such an important game and because the rushing attack for
01:42 Indianapolis, I think needs to be important. I'm going under
01:46 the 47 and a half in this match. It is a high number here
01:48 because this is the de facto playoff game, which means like
01:50 if some of these coaches have the chance to take the air out
01:52 of the football late with the lead, they're going to do that,
01:54 but that's not really the MO of both of these teams. CJ Stroud
01:57 has been wonderful this season pushing the football downfield.
01:59 You take a look at Shane Steichen. I mean one of the
02:01 ultimate gamblers in football. He's been absolutely fantastic
02:04 on that part as well. So if I'm angling for this game, I think
02:07 Joe bought a fantastic point at this point. If you take a look
02:11 to yourself and say how can we stop the running game right
02:13 Joe? Well, there is no tomorrow if you lose this game. So
02:17 Jonathan Taylor, let's rest him up for the playoffs. Let's not
02:19 run him into a brick wall tonight. I'm looking for a lot
02:21 of carries on Jonathan Taylor and if it does produce big
02:24 yardage, let's just say four and a half to five yards per
02:26 actual play. You're going to see the Indianapolis Colts be a
02:29 tough out in this game tonight. I'm really interested to see
02:32 how this one plays out, but I sort of agree with you with the
02:34 under, but there's that chance for me that says both of these
02:37 Tigers aren't going to change their stripes in this ball game
02:39 and say, hey, you know, let's slow it down to play
02:40 conservative and maybe punt on fourth and one in the opposing
02:43 team's territory. I think we're going to get an aggressive
02:45 football game.
