JACKSONVILLE, Flor. -- The winless Jacksonville Jaguars will look to avoid sinking to an 0-5 record against the 2-2 Indianapolis Colts, their bitter AFC South rival.

Remember the rule of five. The game is over if the Jacksonville Jaguars win that key statistical battle. For those who don't remember it, it has to do with sacks and turnovers. If the Jaguars have three sacks and give up two, they are plus one. They are plus three if they get four turnovers and give up only one. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. On average, teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games.

The Jaguars simply cannot lose this game. Head coach Doug Pederson's seat is about as hot as it gets and he could find himself out of a job should the Jaguars lose. That goes for general manager Trent Baalke, too.

The Jaguars will have two key pieces on defense back, safety Darnell Savage and edge rusher Josh Hines-Allen. It will come down to offensive execution, though, which has been the downfall of this Jaguars team all season.

Our Jaguars on SI beat writer John Shipley predicted a 23-16 Jaguars victory.

"As things stand today, either result may not be too much of an issue for a Jaguars defense that has been reeling in recent weeks but is also now getting healthier," Shipley wrote. "Offensively, the Jaguars at least have history on their side. The offense has played well in all four games against the Colts under Doug Pederson, largely because the Jaguars' scheme has typically been the perfect foil for the Colts' defense.

"This feels like a game the Jaguars need to take control of. With their season spiraling after an 0-4 start, they need some way to find a break and get over the hump and get things back on track. Sometimes it only takes one win. The Jaguars need to make that this week."
