SBG Global Opening Line: Ravens – 4.5

One of the NFL’s top offenses squares off against one of the best defenses on Saturday as the Indianapolis Colts face the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens had the top-ranked defense in the NFL. They allowed league lows of 264.1 yards and 12.6 points per game in the regular season, and scored six defensive touchdowns. The Ravens are in the playoffs for the first time since 2003. Although the Ravens have definitely earned their spot in the playoffs, SBG Global reports that most smart money is taking the Colts on the money line.

The Colts are in for the fifth straight year. Indianapolis led the AFC with 379.4 yards per game during the regular season and ranked second in the league with 26.7 points per game. Peyton Manning ranked first in the NFL with 31 touchdown passes and second with 4,397 passing yards.

The Colts defense allowed a league-worst 173.0 rushing yards per game during the regular season but they held Kansas City running back Larry Johnson to 32 yards last week. They face Ravens running back Jamal Lewis, who ran for 1,132 yards this season. They also have to face Ravens quarterback Steve McNair and an offense that has tight end Todd Heap, and receivers Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton. The Ravens won their last four games and nine of 10. The Ravens went 7-1 at home this season.

Baltimore is a 4 point favorite with a total of 42 at SBG Global.

The Colts have dropped four straight road games. Indianapolis has won only once in its last seven playoff games on the road. "We've won in tough venues before, so I don't think we fear going on the road," Colts head coach Tony Dungy said. "We've just got to find a way to play better." Indianapolis is 1-2 in Baltimore, including a 24-7 win in the 2005 season opener.

The Colts are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games in January. They are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games on Grass. They are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 playoff road games.

The Ravens are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. They are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games. They are 37-14-2 ATS in their last 53 games as a home favorite. They are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 playoff games. The Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the two teams.

The Under is 4-0 in the Colts last 4 Saturday games and it is 4-0 in their last 4 games in January. The Under is 4-1 in the Colts last 5 playoff road games. The Over is 22-9-2 in the Colts last 33 games as a road underdog. The Under is 5-2 in the Ravens last 7 games overall. The Under is 15-6-3 in the Ravens last 24 vs. the AFC.
