Bold NFL Week 1 Fantasy Football Stat Prediction #5:

Jacksonville Jaguars defeat Indianapolis Colts by 14+ points

This year would be the perfect time for Press Taylor’s offense to strike. Their divisional rivals are strong but show signs of a necessary rebuilding phase. The Indianapolis Colts will enter Week 1 with a lot to prove. They’ll play without Jonathan Taylor and a rookie quarterback under center. If the Colts get behind on the scoreboard, Anthony Richard will look to stretch the field. A lack of experience could result in turnovers – giving Jacksonville a comfortable lead.
