NFL: Colts / Raven Under (46) $
The Ravens have a chance to break the NFL record for the most consecutive 100+ rushing games of 44. Make no mistake, this record is important to Lamar and the Ravens. Last week in a knee down situation, the Lamar ran the ball for 5 yards to keep the streak intact. It was a play that the Broncos coaching staff was critical of in the post game interview.
I expect the Ravens to continue to their consistent rushing attack which of course keeps the clocks running and the scores down. If they do get a second half lead, the Raven’s defence and Lamar under center should be able to run this clock out. I have not seen anything from Carson Wentz and the Colts offence yet this season to suggest they are capable of exploding for a lot of points either.
I do not like betting against the home team on Monday nights, but I do not want to lay 7 on the Ravens and their rush heaving attack. I know this is the most boring pick for a primetime game, but the UNDER is the best value bet of the night.
