New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts,
8:30 p.m., TV: ESPN, LINE: Colts -7, O/U: 46:
The Colts came out flat last week against the Bills and came away with a lot of questions in the rushing game. Not one running back ran for more than 35 yards, and Luck turned the ball over as many times as he put it in the end zone. Tyrod Taylor turned out to be pretty good and didn’t fold under the pressure of playing Luck. The Jets on the other hand came away with a win under Fitzpatrick, who finds himself in another organization who can’t get their act together. It also helps that his rushing game stepped up and took some of the load. It also helps that a fresh but unexperienced Manziel had to take over the Browns offense. The Colts defense couldn’t stop Taylor, don’t think they’ll stop the vet Fitzpatrick plus the Jets actually have a running game to use. The Jets will keep it close but Luck puts together a decent game at home. My Pick: Colts 27-24.
