Indianapolis Colts – Vegas Odds: +225 (Favorite)
**Betting odds Based on PointsBet**

Based on the Twitter buzz, it seems that if Lamar was to leave the Ravens, the Colts would be one of the favorites to land Jackson.

And it makes sense too. The Colts’ Achilles heel last season was their play under center. Last year, they started a combo of Matt Ryan, Sam Ehlinger, and Nick Foles. That trio combined for 17 touchdowns, 20 interceptions, and an unfathomable number of fumbles.

The Colts also have a decent cast of solid-skill position players to support Lamar with Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, and a decent tight-ends room. The Colts’ offensive line and defense both took steps backward last year, but much of that could be blamed on the lackluster quarterback play.

Matt Ryan was a statue in the pocket, leading to a ludicrous amount of sacks, and the stable of struggling quarterbacks constantly left the Colts’ defense in bad spots. I’m not sure if the Colts would be my favorite landing spot, based on the talent that would be around Lamar, but I certainly wouldn’t hate it. Plus, Lamar would just be a short trip up north away from Louisville fans getting to see him in person.
