Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens Odds
The Baltimore Ravens (9-3) will be gunning for a fourth straight victory when they host the winless Indianapolis Colts (0-12) in Week 14.
The Ravens are currently a 16.5-point favorite with the total set at 41.
Baltimore made rather easy work of the Cleveland Browns with a 24-10 road win last Sunday.
Ray Rice was the big story with 204 of the team’s 290 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Joe Flacco completed 10 of 23 passes for 158 yards with no touchdowns and no picks. Three completions went to Ed Dickson, who led the team with 47 receiving yards.
The Colts are coming off a 31-24 road loss to the New England Patriots that wasn’t as close as the score might lead you to believe. The Patriots led 31-3 before calling off the dogs.
Dan Orlovsky performed well, connecting on 30 of 37 pass attempts for 353 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Nine passes, including both touchdown strikes, found the hands of Pierre Garcon, who led the team with 150 receiving yards.
Donald Brown headed up the running game with 41 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries.
The Colts racked up 437 yards of offense last week but did so against a New England team allowing a league-high 412.1 yards per game. Yards will definitely be tougher to come by Sunday.
The Ravens enter Week 14 ranked third in both total and scoring defense with 287.3 yards and 16 points allowed per contest. They should have success slowing down Indy’s offense, which ranks 29th in both scoring and total offense with 14.5 points and 293.1 yards per game.
The Ravens held the Browns to just 233 yards of offense last week.
The Colts have won eight in a row in this series with the most recent being a 20-3 home win in the playoffs on Jan. 16, 2010. They have covered the spread in each of the last seven meetings.
While the Colts will fight to keep their winning streak in the series alive, it will likely come to an end Sunday in Baltimore, where the Ravens are 6-0 this season.
The Colts, however, can’t be counted out in regard to the point spread. That’s because they are 11-3 against the number in their last 14 games as an underdog of 10.5 points or more.
It is also worth noting that Baltimore is 13-6 against the spread in its last 19 games as a favorite of 10.5 or more points.
As far as the total is concerned, the under has been the play. These two have come in under the number in seven of the last eight meetings.
