Anybody else loving this pick right now?

[Brocc]

Flacco is really banged up, could barely walk after last weeks game

[sooner13]

Yes. Indy should come out a little rusty against a team in full stride after dismantling Brady and Co. Expect a close game that should come down to a fg. Goodluck.

[tbird509]

flaco is fine and hip will be a non factor

[varin18]

Flacco should step up and play like in the last playoff, or the Ravens won't have a chance against the Colts....he is playing very weak in the last few months, and without him - the +6.5 won't be enough.

With a good Flacco, and their D doing their best, the Ravens can win against any team - but I don't expect Joe to wake up from his deep slumber

[Barcuss]

Ravens +6.5 sounds good

[Serbone]

I might change my mind with later into...

BUT at this point IMO if Indy can stop the run fairly well... I do not mean "completely"... I think Indy romps.

Colts will stack the line, dare Flacco to beat them passing... at first. Will it work?

Indy coasted starting in the middle of the season and still blew out some good, motivated teams.

They are healthy and rested.

Do you think Manning will be "rusty"? I don't, he will come out smoking. In the dome.

And Flacco is hurting. Third (or fourth?) road game in a row for Ravens. If Ravens get behind, Flacco will be harassed, Indy has great pas rushers and overall passing "D".

Ravens just beat a dysfunctional NE team. Welker out, Moss was unable to run, looked like Brady's finger and / or ribs were bothering him. Just look at NE's last 6-7 games, they were not the NE of old!

Indy might be best team in NFL. Different story. Rested, ready, Manning....

Again, if Indy can stop the run, say, under 125-150 yds, I think Indy covers. If Indy gets a lead and Ravens have to play catch up, it is a blowout, 17-20 point win.

[Brick]

Ill tease the colts with a few others.

[DMB40]

colts and sd teaser

[MikeZaW]

Probably have to roll with the Ravens and the rest of the dogs this week to cover and possibly win.

[drfunkmaster]

sounds good..

[THE PROFIT]

I'm leaning all dogs except Dallas. Historically this means bet Dallas and the other favs

[6_Feet_Under]

Good post Serbone,I agree.I'll take it a step further and say Indy will shut down the Balt. run game.Which leaves Manning vs.Flacco.I'll take the league mvp at home with an underrated defense,and you guys can have Joe Flacco.

[Nickelicious]

This is the game I have changed my opinion on more than any of the other playoff games in the past few days. My first thought was the Ravens cover easily, if not win outright. I have gradually mutated into the belief that Manning is going to be at the top of his game, shooting for another Super Bowl to secure his legacy, beat his brother's ass and elevate his historical status even higher than it already is.

Nobody that has won only one Super Bowl is ever seriously considered as the greatest QB of all time, and Manning has that objective in the back of his head. He isn't getting any younger and his chance of winning his second (and maybe a third) ring is growing dimmer with every passing year. It's go time for the Colts.

My money is on Baltimore, including a nice little teaser with the Cowboys, but I am worried now. 6.5 points does not seem like nearly enough to cover right now.

[fixxer]

GB offers a Colts - Ari which team scores most points bet...I guess this will be my bet.

I expect the Bal game as a low scoring one, while Ari will be a high scoring one....the Ravens D must hold IND on as low points as they can't, I am not sure, that they can fully do it, still, this I don't expect IND to score many points....meanwhile on the Ari game, it will be a scoring fest, just as against GB - the offenses will dominate - so my bet is on Ari to score most points than Ind

[easyaxess]

Indy at home, is the play.

[HotStreak]

I'm a sucker. I love the Colts.

[BrownTown]

[Mr Nuts]

I like the colts.

[bobspicks]

I dont know why so many people are on the ravens and the jets. This years superbowl winner will be SD or INDY!!!!
Balt D looked great against a NE team that without welker is flat out bad!!! Had Balt ML but cant back them here even with the points...
If Indy gets out early as I expect them too its lights out for Flacco, freney n mathis will be in his face all day!!! Last time these teams played balt gave them problems but that was when they were 9-0 and were barely beating anybody but still winning it was also in balt.
Ray Rice will need 200 yards total to keep this close!!! Balt couldnt beat cincy,gb,or pitt on the road this year 2 are division games but the other gb they got pounded!!! The only way I see Balt keeping it close is if indy turns the ball over 2+ times or Rice having a huge game!!! Balt didn't beat NE, NE beat themselves very bad 1st QT 24 points 17 from turnovers and 1 long run from Rice. Flacco had under 10 yards passing the 1st half and under 40 for the game. You take away that 1ST quarter and they lost that game!!! They are clearly out matched in this one IMO and will loss by at least 7 and thats if Manning comes out and is rusty. If hes on fire as normal it will be a long day for BALT. and can easily be a blowout have no faith in Flacco to bring this team back after falling behind by 2 scores!!!
Does any one else feel INDY has too many weapons for the ravens?

[mikemac21]

Colts please

[juuso]

Balt +6.5 for me.

Looks good to me. I might take it too.

[Bootylicious]

Balt wins this straight up. I just hope there is enough late colts money to push the money line above +240

Balt never beat Indy @ indy I guess this will be the 1st time.
Take the points u will need them!!!

[benjy]

I'm digging the Ravens plus the points.

[Lockitup1x]

No, Manning is an animal.

[aceking]

Manning destroys ravens . 31-10

[jon13009]

Baltimore's run is over. Indy will crush them as usual. Ironic with Stover as their kicker now.

[tomcast]

Taking Colts big

[tcarn01]

jon%% crush as usual? wtf are you talking about. they won by 1 point last time they played. Idiot

[roasthawg]

Yeah, I'm on the Ravens.

[sooner13]

"I love it when people say take out that quarter and they lose."...like you couldnt do that with 70% of all the games played. This is why they play the game! If you look at the average scoring and average defenses and compare....Baltimore has the better defense and as far as being tired....they weren't on the field that much because the Ravens controlled the whole game. Offensively whether it be (Flacco or not) Indy only scored 25 more points for the season than did the Ravens so WOW what a team of weapons!!!
BTW...when INDY comes in as a #1 or #2 in the playoffs...they haven't covered a spread since 1999. I'm takin the team with the better defense, better run game and the momentum! Everyone keeps saying "when the Colts get a lead" well what happens when the ravens get a lead? Huh? Ask the patriots, I'm sure they felt they won 3 quarters of that game.
