The Jacksonville Jaguars didn't do themselves any favors in the eyes of Vegas with a 51-17 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday and they're paying the price for it with their odds this week.
According to Vegas Insider, the Jaguars are as high as 10-point underdogs against the Indianapolis Colts this week. Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reported on Sunday that the Jaguars opened as 9.5-point underdogs, but that line has fluctuated between 8.5 and 10 points this week.
#Jaguars (1-2) installed as a 9 1/2-point underdog at Colts (1-2).

Julius Thomas is still likely out and Marqise Lee has two giant question marks as hamstrings (not to mention a defense missing nearly half its starters) so I'm surprised the Jaguars can be found for only 8.5-point underdogs in some places.
The over-under is between 47.0 and 47.5 points, which means that if Vegas is absolutely correct, the final score will be 28-19 in favor of the Colts.
I can't tell you that's not a very, very reasonable guess as to how Week 4 is going to end up for the Jaguars.
