| Dec 09, 2015 05:02 AM EST

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles (#5) drops back as he passes against the Tennessee Titans.

The Indianapolis Colts (6-6) and Jacksonville Jaguars (4-8) face off for a crucial AFC South matchup at the EverBank Field on December 13, Sunday in Week 14 of the 2015 NFL season.

This is the second meeting between these two teams this season, with the Colts pulling off a 16-13 overtime victory during their Week 4 encounter at the Lucas Oil Stadium.

Indianapolis is ravaged by injuries right now with their top two quarterbacks, Andrew Luck (abdomen and kidney) and Matt Hasselbeck (shoulder), both unavailable for Sunday's game.

The Colts gallantly fought the Pittsburg Steelers at the Heinz Field last Sunday before ultimately succumbing to a 45-10 loss, with Hasselbeck taken out in the final quarter due to neck and shoulder pain, as per Yahoo Sports.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars was nipped by the Tennessee Titans, 42-39, on the road at the Nissan Stadium also last Sunday to lose their second straight game, via USA Today.

Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles had a superb game, throwing 24-of 36 for 322 yards and five touchdowns.

He is expected to carry over his performance against the depleted Colts, leading his team over their division rivals in a low-scoring contest this week.

Prediction: Jaguars win, 14-10.
