Colts vs. Jaguars injury report:
It’s a short list for both teams. On the Colts side, running back Zack Moss (forearm) has been limited for the first two practices of the week while linebacker Shaquille Leonard (concussion) is on track to play in the opener. For the Jaguars, safety Antonio Johnson (hamstring) has yet to practice entering Friday while defensive tackle Tyler Lacy (hip) has been limited.
Advice and prediction
It can be difficult to pin down a bet surrounding the Colts considering how new the offense is. We don’t know exactly what it will look like, but we do know Anthony Richardson will be using his legs. This is especially true around the goal line as Shane Steichen’s history of using Jalen Hurts in that area of the field is well documented. That’s why the prop of Anthony Richardson anytime touchdown (+130) seems like an intriguing bet to make.
Prediction: Jaguars 24, Colts 17
