The emphasis of this game is how the Colts offense featuring the most prolific quarterback of our era, Peyton Manning, two Pro Bowl receivers (Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne), and stud rookie running back, Joseph Addai, performs against Ray Lewis and the most talented defense in the National Football League. This chess match will be fun to watch, as both leaders try to out-scheme each other to get a competitive advantage. After watching Peyton Manning’s performance in last week’s victory against the Chiefs, in which he had a high completion percentage but threw three interceptions, a chink in his seemingly impenetrable armor was revealed. Any and every mistake Manning makes – even if they are few and far between – will be taken advantage of by the Ravens D. On defense, the Colts will be able to pressure Steve McNair with sack specialists, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, but the clutch QB will successfully distribute the ball to tight end, Todd Heap, and receivers, Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton. Jamal Lewis will be the key on the ground as the Colts still struggle against a good offensive line and running back tandem.
Ravens win, 20-17
