Tuesday Jags are 8.5-9.5 point underdogs to Colts As of Friday spread is between 7-8 Sunday am with Luck out point spread down to 3.5-4
IMO Jags are going to turn things around for this week 4 not sure how long it will last with talent on field. Colts have had 3 weeks of poor play and are coming off a win and Jags coming off worst loss of Jags history.
Luck and Colts O-line are having a tough go of it so far. Below is PFF QB Luck analysis
Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts
Colts' Andrew Luck Questionable 'day-to-day' with injury to throwing shoulder
Through three games, Andrew Luck ranks dead last in passer rating
Week 3 was another tough outing for QB Andrew Luck (-2.4). He struggled with accuracy all game, before turning it on a bit in the fourth quarter. When Luck was under pressure (39% of dropbacks), he completed only 3 of 9 passes for 66 yards and a terrible interception thrown off of his back foot while on the run.
Luck made headline with disastrous play against the Jets a week ago, but he wasn’t a whole lot better against the Titans. In what is perhaps a microcosm of Luck’s career, he was actually pretty good in some big plays in this game, but dug himself a hole with poor decisions on intermediate routes, throwing a pair of picks at that level. His passer rating under pressure in the game was a dismal 20.8, dropping 91.2 points from the plays where he was kept clean (throughout his career, he has actually performed relatively well versus pressure), and like each and every week, the Colts line was leaking pressure like a sieve.
We know Luck can deal with poor pass-protection, and has done so before, but that is when he was playing well. Asking a quarterback to claw his way back from an ugly run of form in the face of some of the worst pass-protection in the league is a tall order. Expect “Bad Luck” to continue for a while if the Colts can’t fix their protection issues.
