Baltimore Ravens vs. Indianapolis Colts – AFC Divisional Playoff\u00a0Preview<\/h2>\n

The AFC Divisional Playoffs are upon us pitting two somewhat surprising teams against two that were supposed to be in this position.\u00a0 The Baltimore Ravens play the Indianapolis Colts in a classic Defense Vs. Offense matchup, while the New York Jets and San Diego Chargers tilt is much the same. <\/p>\n

The Baltimore Ravens have come a long way in reaching the AFC semi-finals, squeaking into the playoffs and defeating a tough New England Patriots team on the road.\u00a0 Their reward?\u00a0 A game against arguably the biggest dynasty the NFL has seen in the last decade or two.\u00a0 The Colts will be looking to legitimize their dominant season and move on to the AFC Championship game.\u00a0 Anything less than a win for the Colts would be nothing short of a disaster.<\/p>\n

Baltimore Ravens<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Baltimore Ravens game plan is a very simple one.\u00a0 On Offense, the key is obviously the running game.\u00a0\u00a0 Success in the running game will mean that they will be able to keep the Colts prolific Offense off the field, while at the same time it will mean that the Ravens are advancing the ball.\u00a0 The Ravens running game should pose a problem for the Colts, who\u2019s chronic run stopping problems have been well documented over the years.\u00a0 The Ravens passing game strikes fear into absolutely nobody.\u00a0 If the Ravens are going to win, Joe Flacco, Derrick Mason and Todd Heap will act only as decoys in order to set up the run.\u00a0 If the Ravens get down early and are forced to throw the ball, you can bet that Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis will terrorize Flacco and force the type of mistakes that must be avoided in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

The Ravens Defense has once again emerged as one of the elite units in the NFL.\u00a0 They are the type of team that could and should give Peyton Manning and the boys fits.\u00a0 The Ravens should be able to stop the Indianapolis running game, but as we all know, the Colt live and die with the pass.\u00a0 Injuries to the Ravens secondary could be the X-factor in this game and although Ed Reed figures to play, his supporting cast is hurting and ripe for Manning\u2019s picking. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

Indianapolis Colts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Indianapolis Colts find themselves in familiar territory – hosting a meaningful playoff game at home.\u00a0 The Colts are 4-0 all time at home vs. the Ravens including a win in the only playoff meeting between the two sides.\u00a0 The Colts Offense, as always, is going to be the story.\u00a0 Peyton Manning has had another MVP type year, and Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne have been their typically dominant selves.\u00a0 The \u201cnew crop\u201d of receivers in Indianapolis have insured that the Colts have not missed a beat all season.\u00a0 The Colts will air the ball out in attempts to exploit the Ravens banged up secondary.\u00a0 They should have success doing so as Peyton and the boys always seem to do.\u00a0 The running game probably won\u2019t be much of a factor as the Ravens Defense has been superb as usual stopping the run.\u00a0 Look for 300 + yards from Peyton – it\u2019s the only way that the Colts are going to win.<\/p>\n

On Defense, it\u2019s pretty simple – stop the run!!!<\/p>\n
