Containing Lamar and that Ravens offense will not be easy but I think this defense is up to the task after a much-needed win.What the Raiders have done this season is being witnessed but not believed, since against the Jaguars they lost their advantage of at least 17 points for the third time in the game. Expect a heavy dose of Taylor and Hines in this game and whoever has more success on the ground will win. I’m picking the Colts for a primetime upset. In the end it will be Baltimore who pulls away and gets the victory, leaving the Colts at a crossroads and a 1-4 record. This will likely be a defensive battle in the first half, with both teams struggling on offense fo start.

Darius Leonard will have his hands full as the X factor in this one. He is a threat in the pass and run game, and the Colts will have their hands full trying to contain the former MVP. The Ravens are among the NFL’s elite teams and they perform exceptionally in all three phases of the game.Īs we saw last year, Lamar Jackson is a problem for the Colts. While Frank Reich’s team is riding high after a dominant performance against Miami, this is the week the Colts will be brought back down to Earth. Including the Ravens final drive of the game to put them in field goal position to have Justin Tuck to give them another game-winning field goal, Baltimore squeaks by Indianapolis The defense plays well for majority of the game, keeping the rushing attack in check, but get beat on some throws from Lamar Jackson on a few drives that lead to touchdowns. It disrupts the offense but they put it together to have a strong second-half performance to give the team a shot to win it in the fourth quarter. The liability at the right tackle spot shows up at times throughout the night and Carson Wentz has to avoid pressure and attempt to make magic on his healed ankles. The odds are stacked against the Colts on Monday night as they will be missing at least three starters. Given the injuries and poor play on both sides of the ball against elite competition, this isn’t a game the Colts should be expected to win. The secondary hasn’t been playing well, and the Ravens run game is always a threat. An inconsistent pass rush will help Lamar Jackson as he’s thrown deep more than he has in his career.
Meanwhile, the defense hasn’t been able to play up to its competition this season. Losing Nelson and Smith will be huge against a Ravens defense that creatively finds ways to pressure the quarterback with complex blitzing schemes. The injuries continue to be an issue as the Colts will be without four starters in Quenton Nelson, Braden Smith, Kwity Paye and Rock Ya-Sin. There is a lot going against the Colts in this one, and it may be too much to overcome against a Ravens team that is 14-1 in their last 15 prime-time games. Here’s how the Colts Wire staff predicts the prime-time game will go on Monday night: The experts around the league are siding heavily with the Ravens coming out with a win while Vegas has the Colts sitting as 6.5-point underdogs.
It isn’t shaping up to be a matchup in which the Colts are favored by many. The Indianapolis Colts (1-3) will be on the road for a third consecutive game when they visit the Baltimore Ravens (3-1) at M&T Bank Stadium on Monday night.
