Hammer Time! ***Ravens at Colts***

Playoff Record: 3-1 +7.5*

Wildcard Round Recap

Jets (3*) 

Packers TT Over (5*) 

Packers (5*)

Packers/Cards 2nd Half Over (5*)

I had a good start to the postseason going 3-1 last weekend and clearing 7.5 units. I have one play I really like for Saturday:

Ravens +7 (5*)
I really think this is going to be a close game. The Ravens pass defense has gotten much better as the season has gone on and one has to believe Ed Reed has something to do with that. Baltimore has to be brimming with confidence after ending Brady and Belichick's perfect playoff run at home. I know Flacco didn't do much in that game but I think a lot of that had to do with his hip in the cold weather. He didn't look right from the start in that cold weather. This week I think Ray Rice will open up some play action down the field. Derrick Mason had a big game the first time these two teams met and the Ravens defense caused some timely turnovers. I think the Colts may pull this one out but I see another close game between these two. There is just something I like about this Baltimore team and I see them covering a touchdown Saturday night in a well-played, hard-fought game.

Anyone who would like to discuss this game more in depth, please feel free to comment.

CAn't say I see it the same way...

One has to think that since the PATS didn't have another game changing WR to go to besides Moss - that Balt rolled coverage to Moss forcing Brady to find Eldeman and Aiken.  We all know that those two are not the best but Garcon and Collie are solid players with Wayne demanding double coverage.  But just when you double Wayne - and maybe you play solid on Garcon and/or Collie - Dallas Clarke beats you.  Just too many weapons for the secondary of Balt. to handle.   Carr and Foxworth will get burned several times.  Size does matter and Garcon/Clarke/Collie hold a few inches difference on both corners and Safety's.

GL

It will come down to how long Manning has to pick a part the Ravens secondary.  If that rush doesn't get to him - its OVER...

I think Flacco will have a great deal of trouble with Dwight and Robert in his face all day .. stacking the box will slow down the run .. i duno i like Indy in this one -6.5 .. Peyton is hard to bet against and Baltimore cant score with Indy ..

Hmmmm Last game neither one of them got a sack.
The Ravens O line will hold them in check once again.

How bad is Flacco's injury? If he has to throw more 20 times Colts cover! RR & WMcG need to keep rollin' RAVENS plus 7 should work. BOL to ALL!

Six of the nine years that Peyton went to the playoffs he failed to win ONE game. He is 7-8 over all with a 4-0 in 2006.

I don't think it's hard at all to bet against him. Actually it's been quite profitable going against Peyton in the playoffs.

PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!

I actually think Flacco will surprise some people and have a very good game.

Indy will make Flacco beat them. Indy has to shut down the run.

I like the over in this game as well. Go Colts
