Ravens vs. Colts

These two teams enter into this game with two top ten offenses.  The Colts are led by quarterback Andrew Luck and the Raven by Joe Flacco.  The Colts have put together two straight win while the Ravens are riding a three game winning streak.

The Ravens offense has gotten a boost from veteran wide receiver Steve Smith and the Colts defense which ranks 20th in the league will challenged by his play making ability.  But no quarterback is hotter in the NFL right now than Andrew Luck and while the Raven will score, I think the Colts will have just enough to hold them off.

Winner:  Colts

Score prediction:       28-27  Colts   

Points spread:      Colts -3.5

Over/under:  49 – Over
