The surprisingly red-hot Jaguars host the suddenly cold Colts in a Week 14 matchup.

Will those recent trends continue on Sunday afternoon?

Colts vs. Jaguars Key Player to Watch

Jonathan Taylor, Running Back, Indianapolis Colts

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor still leads the league in rushing, but his lead has been shrinking in recent weeks. 

Since putting up 244 yards and three touchdowns on 32 carries in Berlin, Taylor has 143 yards and no touchdowns in two games since the bye week. He did take a step forward last week with 85 yards after being held to 58 in Kansas City, though.

It won't get easier on Sunday against the Jaguars. Jacksonville boasts the best run defense in the league with just 82.4 rushing yards against per game. The best running back in the league against the best run defense will be a key matchup to watch.

Colts vs. Jaguars Prediction and Pick

The Colts have struggled on the road this season while the Jaguars have been a strong home team, and recent form also goes in Jacksonville's favor.

Maybe Indianapolis can flip a switch and get things going in Jacksonville, but I’ll take the home underdogs outright in this battle of 8-4 teams.

Pick: Jaguars moneyline (+105)
