The Ravens formula for success is simple–good defense, strong rushing attack and limiting the mistakes of second year QB Joe Flacco. The problem here is that while they may run the ball effectively against Indy they’ve got a lot of injuries in their secondary and that’s something that Peyton Manning should be able to exploit. Flacco has played well within the Ravens’ system, but the fact remains that he’s not thrown for more than 161 yards in any of his four career playoff games. That’s not going to get it done against the Colts’ Manning led offense. Before Indy tanked their final two games they were 14-0 SU/10-4 ATS, and they’ve won 8 of the last 10 head to head meetings against Baltimore. The Ravens may be able to eat up a lot of clock and sustain long rushing drives but I still seemy Colts winning this one by more than a touchdown. At the current price, that’ll bring home the bacon for my Colts.
