I am pretty nervious about this one. The Ravens beat one of the worst teams in the Nfl in an unconvincing fashion. This week they will be facing one of if not THE best team in the Nfl. Here is how these teams match-up:
Offense
Total Offense
Ravens: 348.9 ypg (13th)
Colts: 401.1 ypg (3rd)
Rushing Offense
Ravens: 118.1 ypg (14th)
Colts: 86.0 ypg (29th)
Passing Offense
Ravens: 230.8 ypg (15th)
Colts: 315.1 ypg (1st)
Defense
Total Defense
Ravens: 302.8 ypg (7th)
Colts: 322.7 ypg (13th)
Rushing Defense
Ravens: 93.9 ypg (5th)
Colts: 108.7 ypg (14th)
Passing Defense
Ravens: 208.9 ypg (13th)
Colts: 214.0 ypg (16th)
Ultimately it will come down to how well the Ravens defense does in stopping the Colts offense. Without Terrell Suggs, the Ravens will lose some of their pass rushing force. The secondary will not be able to handle the repitoire Manning has to work with. Flacco and Rice may be able to put up some points against this defense but not enough to best Manning and co.
The only chance for the Ravens to win is for their offense to start off hot otherwise the win will be almost unreachable by halftime.
Colts 33 Ravens 17
