Colts -1.5 @ Ravens, Why?!

Ravens have some secondary and linebacker injuries.

I'm trying to figure out why this is a trap and keep myself from putting my entire bankroll on it.

Help!

Prolly has a little to do with the Colts coming off such a huge win vs NE. Expecting a let down maybe?

Look at last weeks Green Bay Dallas game as a reason why you should never bet on Sports.

with that said, a ton of "trap" games this year the favorite has covered. Bad year for the sportsbooks, great year for Joe sportsbettor

 Ravens are desperate and at home

that being said, I think this is a stay-away

Fuck it - I just put a unit on it. Peyton will beat any tarp that comes his way.

plus a short week and travel for the colts, also, walking into baltimore and winning, when they are pissed, isnt as easy as it sounds.

RAVENS were -1 over Colts earlier in the week.  Colts will win

shorter week for Balt.

That said, the Ravens need this game much more than the Colts do.  Ravens are a playoff team from last year with one of the best defenses in the NFL.  They are at home where they are very solid.  Last home game was a 30-7 pasting of the Broncos.  I am totally staying away from this one.  Should be a good game.

Yeah, but Baltimore is no GB and Dallas is definitely no Indy.

Normally, I'd be concerned about a "letdown," but Manning & Co. have been in this position (i.e. up big in the standings; coming off an emotional win; etc.) so many times that I don't think it applies here. 

The only thing I could see evening the playing field a little is if the weather turns nasty on the East Coast.  Last time I looked at the forecast, it was supposed to be OK tho.

Like the Colts big.

Edit:  Oh, and Suggs is out (I think) for Balty.

Ravens injuries <<<<< Colts injuries

The Colts have pulled at least 3 games this year out of their ass (Miami, SF, NE come to mind w/o thinking much).

The Colts defensive backfield is mangled, and Joe Flacco isn't a slouch, sure he's no Tom Brady, but he's still good enough to torch a college level backfield not to mention a decent rushing attack.

If Suggs, Birk and Heap don't play I would not bet against the Colts, Mason and Clayton aren't elite receivers like Randy Moss, so it should help ease the tension on the D.

If Baltimore loses this game, they are pretty much out of the playoff picture in the AFC, if Indy wins this game the 16-0 mumblings will begin...

With all that being said, Peyton Manning is unreal and I would never bet against him.

P.S. I'm trying to go 3/3 in reverse psychology rooting against my Colts.
