Baltimore Ravens at Indianapolis Colts

The Baltimore Ravens looked exceptional last Sunday, beating the heck out of the New England Patriots 33 to 14 in a hostile Gillette Stadium. The Ravens dominated the Patriots with a smash mouth running game and a stellar defensive performance.

Not only did Baltimore finally beat New England, they won their backers some serious cash as they came in as a 3 ½ point underdog.

The Ravens are an underdog again this Saturday when they travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. Could the Ravens possibly upset another pre-season Super Bowl favorite?

Now this one of the match have lots of Online Betting in the NFL playoffs.

Baltimore averages over 213 yards per game through the air and 138 yards per game on the ground. In their game against the Colts during the regular season, the Ravens racked up over 350 total yards.

The key for Baltimore in this game is to get running backs Willis McGahee and the awesome Ray Rice off first. If McGahee and Rice can keep the Colts’ defense honest than QB Joe Flacco can throw the ball. Flacco threw for over 3600 yards during the regular season.

The Colts’ D employs a bend but don’t break style. Often times, Indianapolis prefers to sit in their Cover 2 and dare teams to beat them with the pass. The Colts will rush the quarterback, but they are judicious about how and when they blitz.

Somehow, the unit has been effective even though it gives up 339 yards per game on average and 19 points per game on average. The Colts also allow over 125 yards per game on the ground. If they let Rice or McGahee or a combination of both get 125 yards this weekend, then the Colts’ D could be in some trouble.
