Our beloved Jaguars have reached the bye week after a disappointing outing in London against division rival Texans.  However, just because the team is off this week doesn't mean there is no news to report.  Nick Foles, who was the team's prized free agent signing this offseason, makes his return from a week one broken collarbone injury that landed him on IR.Jaguars coach Doug Marrone announced Foles would be the starter in week 11 against Indy.  The announcement was met with some murmurs from fans who have grown to love Gardner Minshew, who has played quite well, exceeding all reasonable expectations for a rookie 6th round pick and outperforming many veteran QBs.  The Colts lost on the road to the Steelers on a missed FG by Adam Vinatieri.  He is a hall of fame worthy kicker who has been incredibly clutch over the years, but he has struggled this year.  But the Colts have stuck by him despite the key misses.  Meanwhile, the tacks are coming off a loss in Carolina, where Christian mcCaffrey laid waste to another AFC South team.

As for my picks, I had a second respectable week in a row, finishing 2-1 missing on the Colts.  However, I still have at least two more weeks of respectable or better prognostication to go before breaking even.  Sigh.

With that said, here are my picks...

Chiefs (6-3)  at tacks (4-5)-Both teams are using their season starting backups.  There are differences.  The Chiefs had to play Matt Moore due to an injury to Mahomes.  The tacks benched Mariota.  But the Chiefs are still effective, in part because Moore is an experienced and decent backup, but mostly due to coach Andy Reid.  Ultimately, that's the difference in this game.  Chiefs 28  tacks 24.

Dolphins (1-7) at [b]Colts (5-3)[/b]-The Dolphins finally got their first win, but are still a major threat to end up with the first pick in the draft without having to use their truckload of draft picks to move up.  The Colts are still a threat to win the AFC South, though they still have a long way to go.  They get closer here.  Colts 27 Dolphins 13.

Last week:  2-1
Overall:  13-17
