Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Indianapolis Colts: NFL Matchup

Posted David Brown on 09/10/2009

Get NFL Tickets on StubHub!Tony Dungy's remarkable career with the Indianapolis Colts included a Super Bowl title and playoff berths in each of his seven seasons as coach.

Following Dungy's retirement, Jim Caldwell assumes the task of keeping the Colts on their impressive run - something that seems very possible with reigning league MVP Peyton Manning running the offense.

Manning looks to help Caldwell earn his first NFL win Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, when the Indianapolis Colts open the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are coming off a disappointing 2008.

Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 7½-point favorites versus the Jaguars, while the game's total is sitting at 45.
