The Colts do plan to play their starters in this game but it is situation that not many people can predict. Indianapolis may not have much motivation while the Jaguars need to win their last three games to make the playoffs odds. Indianapolis head coach Jim Caldwell is saying the right things but who knows what will happen. “We’re not going to assign numbers, in terms of plays, for anybody. We didn’t do that for the first 13 games, and we’re not going to do it for No. 14, either.”

Jacksonville knows they control their own fate in the final three games beginning with Thursday night against the Colts. “We know that we have to win out,” Jaguars guard Uche Nwaneri said. “That’s really the only way to ensure that we’ll be in the nfl playoffs odds. You don’t want to leave it to needing to win this and hope these people lose or these people lose. We control our own fate. We still have that fortunately.” The Colts beat Jacksonville 14-12 in the season opener as Manning threw for 301 yards and a TD. The Jacksonville defense has been weak against the pass, allowing 239.5 yards per game.
