Have you ever run across a crime or accident scene where the police are waving you by with the words, “Nothing to see here.”
Tonight, the Baltimore Ravens host the Indianapolis Colts, and I feel it would be best if I took that officer's advice and just moved on to next week’s games. But, I’m intrigued by this matchup.
The Ravens are the better team and the Colts are coming off a road win.
Edge Ravens.
But Baltimore was reduced in quality personnel during the preseason when all three of their top runningbacks were lost to injury. They lost their first season opener since 2016 in Las Vegas against the Raiders. They scored a fortunate win in second week action at home against the Kansas City Chiefs and didn’t cover the point spread and needed a 66-yard field goal on the game’s last play to edge the still winless Detroit Lions in third week action.
Last week, in Denver, they handed the Broncos their first loss of the season in convincing fashion, 23-7. So, how good is John Harbaugh’s team this year? Perhaps not as good as some think.
