\nHe does have a special quality to him but lets not forget that the surrounding talent is not overly impressive. \u00a0The running game is mediocre at best and even though receiver Reggie Wayne has had a great career he is not currently considered among elite receivers in the league.<\/p>\nThe Colts are more than the sum of their parts but I am not sure that is enough for this group\u2019s first playoff foray…<\/p>\n
Heading into last week the Colts had the trend of covering when they win and not when they lose.<\/p>\n
They did it again and I think that trend will continue this week. \u00a0The question is which way to play it – see below for score prediction.<\/p>\n
Baltimore<\/h3>\n
The Ravens aren\u2019t exactly strutting into the playoffs this year. \u00a0They finished with the same record as the Bengals after losing to them last week \u00a0and Ray Lewis just announced he is retiring at season\u2019s end. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
They have lost 4 of 5 heading into this one with the lone win against the struggling Giants. \u00a0Can they change their momentum quickly against a less experienced team…When you look at the Ravens numbers you see a team in decline.<\/p>\n
Their individual performances, notably QB Joe Flacco and RB Ray Rice were ho hum and their team numbers were mediocre. \u00a0They didn\u2019t beat a single team that finished with a winning record after September.<\/p>\n
They really took advantage of a light schedule after some early success…Even before the Ravens crashed in the second half they were hurting bettors.<\/p>\n
For the season they finished 6-9 ATS.<\/p>\n
I think a lot of it has to do with perception not matching reality with regards to Baltimore on the defensive side of the ball.<\/p>\n
