Last Game

Baltimore put up a solid effort, but came up just short in their narrow 28-24 Week 8 matchup at home loss against Pittsburgh Steelers while failing to cover the spread as a 4-point home favorite. Reigning league MVP Lamar Jackson passed for 208 yards and two touchdowns while adding 65 rushing yards, but the former Heisman Trophy winner tossed a pair of costly picks that Baltimore could not overcome. Defensively, Baltimore limited Ben Roethlisberger to a modest 182 passing yards, but gave up two TD passes while failing to record an interception against the future Hall of Famer.

Ravens vs Colts Betting Analysis

The Colts will have a great chance to win this one if they force Lamar Jackson to become a pocket passer, much like Pittsburgh did last weekend. The good news is that Indianapolis has the kind of defense this season that could do just that.

Moneyline

Baltimore has won five straight road games, but has gone a polar opposite 0-5 SU in their last five road dates against the Colts. Indianapolis has made a habit of taking care of business at home by going 5-1 SU in their last half-dozen games at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Point Spread

The Ravens are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games against their AFC counterparts and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games.The bad news is that Baltimore has failed to cover the spread in two straight and four of their last five games while going a winless 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

Indianapolis has gone 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games against a team with a winning record while also going 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games in November and 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 home games against a team with a winning road record. Unfortunately, the Colts have also gone 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog. Make no mistake about it NFL betting fanatics, this Week 9 all-AFC matchup looks like a thriller waiting to happen!
