The Ravens defense will have their work cut out for them this week.  Baltimore is allowing an average of just 15 points per game to opponents this year, but will meet their match against a fantastic offensive unit in the Colts who average 34 points per game.  This will be a battle and should be a very close game when all said and done.  The Ravens have been playing excellent football so far this season, but they will have their handful with the Colts this week.  Both quarterbacks have been playing lights out this year so far, and I expect to see a lot of action in the air, considering that both teams are pretty solid against the run.  The Ravens are only allowing 83 yards on the ground, so that doesn’t bode well for Trent Richardson.  Since 2001, the Ravens have never beaten the Colts in Indy (0-4), but that was also when some guy named Peyton Manning was at the helm.  The Ravens can win this game on the road and I think it will come down to how much success Joe Flacco has throwing the football.  The x-factor in this one will be Steve Smith Sr. who has been absolutely unstoppable this season.  I think the Ravens could pull this one out, but I’ll play it safe and just have them covering that spread.

COLTS 24 - RAVENS 23

FANTASY BEAST - STEVE SMITH SR.
