Colts @ Ravens

Is McNair healthy or what? If Boller is forced to play, that will let the Colts gang up on Jamal Lewis.

Having Sanders back is a huge plus for our run defense. Look for Peyton to have a more Manning like game than last week. I'm saying Colts 28-24

I favor the Colts in this one becasue Jamal Lewis is not the same back he used to be. He has one of the lowest yards per carry average of any AFC back with significant attempts.

i'll be rooting for the colts, but all i can say is if the Cheifs can come up with a defensive scheme to confuse PM in to three 1st half INT's, i shudder to think what the Ravens' D can come up with in a home playoff game.

The Ravens Defense is the difference in this game. the secondary they have is nasty and from what i've seen are much more physical and will give harrison aand wayne problems.

For the colts to win, Addai will have to have a GREAT game and force the Ravens Defense in to situations it doesn't want to be in....so..........

the colts must be a lot of 2nd and 3rd and short (3-4 yards or less) consistently. i'd pay close attention to what happens on 1st down when the colts have the ball. as dumb as it may sound, they need to be able to keep that D on the feild and wear them down.

i look for INdy to use a lot of no huddle, up tempo, fast pace offense to limit substitutions.

Defensively, the Colts i think can stop the Ravens. the problem is the Ravens won't have to score more than 20 pts to get a W. the Colts will.

so, rooting for the cots, but i think the Ravens win...23-17, in a game that the score doesn't indicate how dominant the Ravens D actually was.

I don't care too much for either team... but if I had to choose, I'd kinda, sorta, maybe like to see McNair advance.

If Peyton doesn't play about 100% better than he did last week, the Colts might not even score.

I'm beginning to buy into the notion that Manning can't win big (read very very important) games. although it is never just him failing, when he's having a bad day, the rest of his team does as well.

The Chiefs really didn't confuse Peyton. 2 of the picks were just a miscommunication between Peyton and Marvin, something that almost always happens when Marvin is going against Ty Law.

Reggie Wayne should have a huge day. Samari has been awful this year, and Peyton loves to pick on 2nd corners. McAlister is a great corner, but Marvin seems to do fine against anybody not named Ty Law.

As good as the Ravens defense is, Peyton has never really had problems against them.

Also look for Freeney to have another big day against Ogden. Ogden has had problems with Freeney in the past due to his speed, and he is coming off a toe injury that will slow him even more.

Peyton is his own worst enemy. An overthinker if you will. He badley needs to get the monkey off his back ( winning the big one ) but he can't do it alone.

If the Colts only score 20, Peyton will be meeting Eli for a tee time Monday morning.

Eh, possibly. Baltimore has had some pretty good offensive games this season, but a lot of it is aided by direct points from the defense.

I'll say Colts 23, Ravens 20

This game scares me just like the game between Seattle and Dallas. I picked Seattle last week and was lucky-barely!:rock:

I have the Colts picked in a close one 24-17. I'm a huge Peyton Manning and Colts fan. Jamal Lewis hasn't been a huge threat like a few years ago when he'd get over 100 yds a game. He did get over 1000 yards this season. I think the Colts D shines again and Jamal gets no more than 60 yards and no TD's.:crossfingers:
