My Game Of The Year NFL week #11

First I want to say that I realize this will be a public pounder but as you know the public can be the right side on any given week obviously.

Colts -1 or +1 whatever line you get up to -10 I would hammer

Baltimores offensive line and Joe Flacco has not been in sync the past couple of weeks and Joe has now had two consecutive games that he has had pressure in his face by sub par pass rushing teams in Cinci and Cleveland. I do not see things getting better this week with Indys pass rush coming at Joe Flacco (I believe its finally catching up to the Ravens their lack of options at WR they decided not to pick up a named speedy reciever and now they are stuck with a veteran in mason who is about to retire and a butterfinger in Mark Clayton). I feel sorry for Joe Flacco because I believe he is a really good QB he just usually has nowhere to throw the football. Their TE Todd Heap is banged up this week this well as his back injury has been reaggrivated.

Now lets look at the biggest problem for Baltimore especially when they play the Colts. The Ravens secondary has struggled against any QB that is able to throw the ball down the field and this week they get Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne the Ravens CBs Foxworth/Washington cannot cover anyone without causing a defensive pass interference. The Ravens will get Ngata back but weather he will be at 100% we dont really know. Terrell Suggs is out for maybe the remainder of the season and this is a huge blow to the Ravens defense. (I bet Peyton Manning breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he found out about his MCL tear)

Finally I have watched Peyton Manning read Baltimore Defense like a book over the past few years and this is when we actually had a schemer like Rex Ryan behind the wheel. This year the Ravens defense is not the same without him and our Blitzing has been basically non existant against decent offensive lines. Manning will drive down the field and convert 3rd and whatevers to Dallas Clark at will all day.

I only see two possibiltys of how the Ravens stay in this game one is because the Colts basically come and intentionally give the game away to Baltimore because they dont feel like keeping a perfect record (LOL dont see this happening) or maybe more likely but I still dont see it happening is Ray Rice absolutly has a monster day and runs the distance of the entire field 2 or 3 times.

I really hate to bet against my team but I feel like I have been here too many times and I know how this will play out this week.

Good luck will add more thoughts later I just dont feel like writting more right now

brother, you will be just fine. Your break down is right on the money. Payton is a beast and they will be fired up. When I watch Ravens play it seems Flacco is lost. He is not the same player as last year. I believe this pass rush will get to him and I see some int's. Dont get me wrong he is a good qb. But something is not gelling. As for the Colts I cant stand them but How Payton runs his offense I just get off on it. He is freaken remarkable. They deserve to be undefeated and I believe they will be the team to beat when they are healthy in the playoffs. I think Colts click a little faster in this game than the NE game. First hf is a play also but good luck to you and thanks for the nice read. Go Colts

prediction Colts 38-24

Oh please I was a Buffalo Bills fan for many years and lost 4 Superbowls and about 10k doing it

I wish I would have smartened up and bet against my team sooner        

Grow up kids

I think it has to do with the public perception of Baltimore after their 3-0 start and then their next 3 games came down to the wire and easily could have been 6-0... Ravens have yet to be a dog anytime this year... With Baltimore at home I guess Vegas feels they will get enough action on both sides with the line where it is.
