Go Manning 
Like Ravens here big time. In recent years, Balt has been very competitive in the playoffs. Kudos here to Manning, whom this year, has carried this LESS than stellar team on his back. Very generous getting 6.5 pts here. In the previous two seasons, there has been a very noticeable decline on the Colts defensive play. This is just the kind of team that is content to gut out a "clutch" win and leave the cover on the table here. A back door cover is a strong possibility here, with a Raven SU victory entirely not out of the question here! RAVENS
The key to this game is for the Ravens on defense to keep pressure on Manning, while disguising the coverage packages. When Peyton is hurried he can't hit his primary receivers. Solid linebacker play by the Ravens to break up "hot" read situations will go a long way towards 3 and outs! The puny efforts at a running game will be contained by the front 4. On offense, do not engage Manning in a slug fest- you'll lose. Flacco needs to limit his throwing efforts as he is still to prone to careless INTs. Most likely scenario is a constant pounding of the rock,chew up clock, move the chains. See Indy having trouble containing the run. See many tackles being made by the linebackers and secondary. The Colts are very suspect of being burned by the big strike downfield off of play action. So the key here is to limit Peyton's exposure on the field, and wear down the Colts defense.
