Time:<\/strong> Saturday 8:15 ET Juggernaut or jugger-not? It\u2019s the rest vs. rust argument, and no one will know until about a quarter how the team will respond.<\/p>\n One thing is for sure, though. Manning, head coach Jim Caldwell and GM Bill Polian got an eyeful on Sunday when the Ravens bended, folded and mutilated what remained of the Patriots\u2019 decade-long dynasty. Baltimore outplayed New England in every phase of the game in earning a right to travel to Indianapolis.<\/p>\n The Ravens beat a tired, beaten-up Patriots team that was demoralized by the loss of Wes Welker, but the victory does give the Ravens a truckload of confidence as they trek to flyover country. Baltimore\u2019s victory in Foxboro was so complete and dominant that the Ravens\u2019 players could barely stifle laughs as they boarded the busses for the return trip home.<\/p>\n Can they do what no other team has been able to do \u2013 pressure MVP Peyton Manning? Can Joe Flacco, who threw only 4 passes against the Patriots, complete enough passes to move the chains against a rested Colts defense? Can the Ravens accomplish the impossible, winning consecutive roads games at New England, Indianapolis and (probably) San Diego to get to the Super Bowl?<\/p>\n The answers are maybe, maybe and maybe. While the Colts\u2019 win at Miami early in the season showed that time of possession against Indianapolis can be vastly overrated, if Indy has the ball for large chunks of time it\u2019s pretty much over for the Ravens. Baltimore would love a repeat of last Sunday \u2013 a quick score, keep the ball on the ground, wear down Indy\u2019s defense and force Manning to throw into the teeth of the NFL\u2019s third-ranked defense.<\/p>\n Easier said than done. At last check Manning had no trouble moving the chains despite the fact that the Colts have running backs on the roster only because every other team has them, and it would look bad if they didn\u2019t. The Colts\u2019 receivers present far more coverage concerns than the Patriots\u2019 did, but the Ravens would seem to match up well against one-dimensional offenses.<\/p>\n In Week 11 Baltimore misfired on a golden opportunity to deal the Colts their first loss of the season when they froze up on five trips to the red zone, settling for field goals each time and taking a tough 17-15 loss. Since that game, though, Baltimore has gone 5-2 and regained the swagger that produced a nice playoff run last season and a berth in the AFC Championship Game (23-13 loss to Pittsburgh).<\/p>\n Indy fans were apoplectic after the Colts basically forfeiting the final two games of the season, opting for more rest and less (injury) risk. Sunday we\u2019ll find out if the team made the right decision.<\/p>\n Pick: Ravens<\/strong><\/p>\n Comment on this game below, hit us with your pregame NFL picks and predictions…<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong> Point spread, ATS odds, and moneyline betting and preview article for the 2010 Divisional round playoff weekend matchup between the AFC north’s Baltimore Ravens and the AFC South champs the Indianapolis Colts…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[21995,89,22459,3916,22454,2828,334,22462,22463,504,713,66502,22460,955,22461,1507,22455,22456,22457,3102,22458],"class_list":["post-17927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nfl","tag-2010-nfl-previews","tag-ats","tag-baltimore-ravens-vs-indianapolis-colts","tag-bet-on-colts","tag-bet-on-divisional-round-games","tag-bet-on-ravens","tag-colts","tag-divisional-round-gambling-lines","tag-divisional-round-nfl-spreads","tag-gambling-odds","tag-moneylines","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-divisional-playoffs-weekend","tag-overunder","tag-playoff-spread","tag-ravens","tag-ravens-colts-lines","tag-ravens-colts-odds","tag-ravens-colts-spread","tag-ravens-vs-colts","tag-ravens-vs-colts-preview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/80"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17927"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":109403,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17927\/revisions\/109403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
