Baltimore Ravens v. Indianapolis Colts NFL Playoff Odds


June 5, 2008 | Posted By Larry Cook

The bookmakers have set the Colts Ravens betting odds as giving Baltimore a clear edge, but the general public has been all over Indy.  Baltimore finished the season as the AFC’s number two seed with their 13-3 SU and 10-6 ATS record, while the Colts were the three seed and stand out as 13-4 SU and 9-8 ATS after their win over the Chiefs in last week’s Wild Card game.

In that game against the Chiefs Peyton Manning was 30-of-38 for 268 yards while Joseph Addai rushed for a TD and 122 yards in 25 carries.  If the offense is going to keep those numbers up it will have to do so against the best defense in the league.  Last week the Indy defense actually looked impressive putting a stop on Larry Johnson, but can they do it agian this week?

The Ravens got to sit at home last week after earning a bye, and are coming off a 19-7 win against Buffalo last time out.  Steve McNair has been hurting, but he plays better injured and was 23-of-35 for 216 yards last time out.  Matt Stover was his normal self in making four field goals in the 19-7 win.
