Ravens open as 6.5 point favorite against Colts

Should be an interesting match-up but I think the Ravens have a good chance to win this game by double digits.

D is starting to pull it together a little. They play a very technical game, no one outside Luck on their O is very flashy, but they get the job done. We need to come out early and get to Luck right from the start, but we have the tools to win this game

This is crazy but I am concerned with Lewis coming back. There is a possibility that our best ILB combination is Ellerbe and Bynes.

The easiest money I've made all year was Pats -10 today against Miami. Home game and a chance for a bye week. not sure why that game wasn't -16...

They won't be able to stop our ground game. Leach is going to pave the way.

I am shocked we are favored by that much.

I bet it ends up at 7 or 7.5.

How we favored that much? They just beat the brakes off the texans, texans are showing cracks but still stout across the broad.

I wouldn't put this one in the W column just yet. The Colts couldn't improve their seeding today yet went out and beat Houston who actually had a lot to play for. The Ravens were happy to head into the playoffs on a 1-4 run. Let's remember, the Colts have a better record than we do. All it'll take is one of Flacco's so called "Bad Joe" games and we could be headed to the off season.

I thought we would be 3-6 point favorites. A little surprised.

Well according to this, the Colts are third-worst in the league at stopping the run, and downright worst at YPC (5.1). Heh. Hope that holds true; it very well might with Cam not calling the shots, but who knows. I'm most heartened by the fact this is in Baltimore. Otherwise I honestly think we'd be toast.
