Season record: 9-7.

Well, we are finally here at the last game of the season. It has been a rough season filled with ups and downs, but I have had a lot of fun each week. This game is tough one. Neither team has much to play for. Both teams are out of the playoffs and just looking to end the season the right way. Right now, I am one game back in our picks standings which means I kind of have to pick the Jaguars to try to pick up a game. And you know what, I am fine picking the Jags. I think they have a good chance of coming out of Indianapolis with a win if they continue to play sound football and limit mistakes. If Mac Jones keeps protecting the football and BTJ keeps making plays, I think the Jags can find a way to win. — Jaguars 24, Colts 21.

The Jaguars can’t start the offseason soon enough. The changes should start happening fast and furious, but I do think Jacksonville will battle in this game. They edged the Colts in Jacksonville but it was far from easy. — Colts 27, Jaguars 23.

Season record: 10-6.

I am optimistic the Jaguars will finish the season 4-2 in the division and 5-12 overall. I think the Colts are too dysfunctional right now, especially at quarterback, to be able to put together a winning game plan. Closing out the season with a win should be at the forefront, but I think the uncertainty of what happens Monday is consuming the Jaguars. This is a tossup, but I’ll give the Jaguars the advantage.— Jaguars 24, Colts 17.

Season record: 7-9.

It’s the last game of the year. I’m rolling with a clean sweep in more ways than one. A fresh start for Jags leadership and a sweep of the Colts. — Jaguars 30, Colts 20.
