As one of two remaining unbeaten teams in the NFL, the Colts will try to extend their overall winning streak to 19 games Sunday when they visit the Baltimore Ravens. Now I could go back into the history between the Colts and the city of Baltimore but I won’t. I’ll just stick with- the Colts are better so we should win.
The Colts are sitting pretty in the AFC leading the South division by four games over Jacksonville and Houston, which are tied for second place. They hold a two-game edge on Cincinnati in the race for home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs.
Here’s what the Colts should be looking for:
* The Run- The Ravens are a strong running team with Ray Rice. The Colts have been ok against the run this year. Ok won’t get it done with Ray Rice. The Ravens are 4th in the league in running. This is a major test for the Colts’ D line. If they can contain Rice, it will be a positive sign for the rest of the year.
* Joe Flacco- He’s not the same rookie that got ROCKED by the Cols D last year. Since he threw 3 picks to the Colts, the Ravens are 14-6 and Flacco has thrown 25 TDs to 12 picks and a rating of 90.5.
* Watch the Blindside dude- Michael Oher has a pretty big week coming up. He has to play the Colts and he has some movie that hasn’t been advertised very much coming out soon. He’d better be as good as this movie has me thinking he is.
* Watch for the let down. Indy played the BEST GAME EVER on Sunday night while Baltimore played on Monday night in a scrimmage against the Browns. Both teams could come out flat. I’m hoping it’s the Ravens.
I wouldn’t say the Colts own the Ravens but…they do have five consecutive wins over Baltimore. In this game it seems that the Ravens have more to play for. They currently sit at 5-4 and really need to win this game at home to stay in a tough playoff race that might just require 11 wins to take a Wild Card slot.
Let’s hope the Colts realize how hot 10-0 really sounds!
