“[The Colts will] be playing on the road for the third straight week, and it’s not clear [Carson] Wentz is the man to go play-for-play with [Lamar]Jackson. The Ravens will kick off their long homestand with a workmanlike victory.” |
| Jonas Shaffer |
|
“No matter how many tackles Jonathan Taylor might run through Monday, the Ravens should have the advantage in all three phases, plus home-field advantage.” |
| Ryan McFadden |
|
Ravens 34, Colts 21 “Even though the Colts will come into M&T Bank Stadium with momentum from their victory over the Miami Dolphins, expect the Ravens defense to build off their performance against the Denver Broncos while Lamar Jackson continues to make plays down the field with his arm.” |
| C.J. Doon |
|
Ravens 30, Colts 13 “Running back Jonathan Taylor, wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and tight end Mo Allie-Cox are tough to defend, but quarterback Carson Wentz is going to have a tough time playing against the Ravens’ pressure-heavy defense on a pair of injured ankles.” |
| Tim Schwartz |
|
Ravens 34, Colts 14 “The Colts defense is allowing 114 rushing yards per game, but expect the Ravens to exceed that number and break the NFL record for consecutive 100-yard rushing games. Lamar Jackson might get that on his own.” |

Ravens 27, Colts 16 “I'm so impressed by Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale's ability to dial up creative pressures, no matter who he has playing cornerback. Indianapolis' offensive line is now a vulnerability worth attacking, and Baltimore's big uglies up front are well-suited to stop Jonathan Taylor on the ground.” |

Ravens 30, Colts 20 “Baltimore's overall defense, execution and efficiency is better and there's always extra fan emotion in prime time when it plays the team from Indy that used to call Charm City home.” |

Ravens 30, Colts 13 “This is a third consecutive road game for the Colts against a Ravens team playing home for the first time after two on the road. And it's in prime time? That's a bad combination for the Colts.“ |

| Will Brinson |
|
Ravens 24, Colts 14 “I don't think the Ravens will just completely steamroll the Colts and it was good to see signs of life from Carson Wentz and Indy last week in South Florida. But this is a different animal. John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson at home are a problem.” |

|
Ravens 35, Colts 24 “Lamar Jackson is throwing downfield more than ever before, and as a result his completion percentage is down but his yards per attempt is up. I think that’s going to put a lot of pressure on the Colts’ secondary, and the Ravens’ should score a bunch.” |
| Mike Florio |
|
Ravens 27, Colts 16 “Importantly, the Ravens will show they’re the better team. More importantly (or not), they’ll get to 44 straight 100-yard rushing games.” |
| Chris Simms |
|
Ravens 24, Colts 20 “I think the Colts match up well with the Ravens in a lot of ways. … I wouldn’t be shocked if the Colts upset the Ravens, but I don’t have the guts to pick that.” |
