The last time the Indianapolis Colts beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in Duval County the horseshoe's quarterback was Andrew Luck.

He was only in his third season, and one of the Colts' two leading receivers that day was current wide receivers coach Reggie Wayne. 

That same season, the newly retired Aaron Donald took home the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award, while Odell Beckham Jr. won the honor for Offensive Rookie of the Year as a member of the New York Giants. Beckham Jr. is now on the fifth different team of his career. 

It has been 10 years since Indianapolis emerged from TIAA Bank Stadium victorious, and according to BetMGM, the Colts are destined to repeat the same fate they've experienced every year since 2014. 

Colts vs. Jaguars Week 5 betting odds

BetMGM lists the Jaguars as three-point favorites in this Week 5 matchup. This is despite the fact that Jacksonville sits at 0-4 while Indianapolis is 2-2 after defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.

The over/under for total points scored is set at 46, but the two squads combined are averaging a total of 36.5 points per game through the first four weeks of the season. 

 SpreadOver/Under TotalMoneyline
Colts+3 (-115)46 (-110)+130
Jaguars-3 (-105)46 (-110)-155

BetMGM's model has 57.7%% confidence in the Jaguars to win Sunday's AFC South contest. However, that same model predicts the Colts will cover the slim spread with 63% confidence.
