Colts RB Jordan Wilkins is the player to watch on the Colts this week. While most have been enamored by upside rookie running back Jonathan Taylor, he has yet to live up to expectations. Taylor is also dealing with an ankle injury, which could limit his workload against Baltimore.

BEST BET: Colts (+115)
Maybe I am going out on a limb here, but I like the Colts to win this game outright. While both the Ravens and Colts have the same record, neither team has beaten upper-tier opponents. In fact, the two best teams Baltimore have faced this season — the Steelers and Cheifs handed them their two losses. Meanwhile, the Colts lost a flukey matchup against the Jaguars in the season opener then dropped their second game of the year to the Browns in Week 5. The Ravens placed eight players on the reserve/Covid list this week including Marlon Humphrey, who tested positive and is out for Sunday’s matchup. The other players — LB Matthew Judon, LB Patrick Queen, LB Tyus Bowser, LB Malik Harrison, DB DeShon Elliott, LB L.J. Fort, and DB Terrell Bonds -must isolate from the team as they were in close contact with Humphrey. The significance? The aforementioned players are all key pieces to Baltimore’s defense, some of which, starters. If they are ruled out, the Ravens will be at an extreme handicap. However, even if they play, they won’t have much practice time to get ready for the Colts. The Colts are at home and can run the ball well enough to keep Lamar Jackson off the field and move the chains. Philip Rivers is also playing his best football of the year in the past two outings. Call me crazy, but I love the Colts Moneyline in Week 9.[esi sportsbookgrid num=3 ttl=”0″]
CONSIDER: Over 47 (-110)
While this game features two teams with elite defines, their offenses are not too shabby either. In fact, outside of the style of quarterback play, the Colts and Ravens are near mirror images of each other. Baltimore’s offense is ranked 20th in total yards (356.6) and eighth in points for (29.0) while the Colts’ offensive unit is ranked 17th in total yards (363.6) and 10th in PPG (28.3). On defense, the Ravens are surrendering the seven fewest total yards (322.9) and the second-fewest PPG (17.9) while the Colts are yielding the second-fewest total yards (293.4) and the fifth-fewest PPG (19.4). Although on paper, this game looks like it will be a grinding defensive bout, both of these offenses can run up the scoreboard when needed. The Ravens and their opponents would have combined to hit this 47-point total in 5-of7 games this season. The Colts and their opponents would have combined to hit this over in each of the past three games.Pass: Colts +2.5 (-115)
If you are not as confident as I am on the Colts Moneyline, then fade them altogether. The Colts are 4-3 against the spread this season but have only covered the spread once in their past three outings. The Colts are 0-5 in their last five games as a home dog. They are also 0-3-1 ATS as an underdog in their past four games overall. Anthony Cervino is 14-8-1 on his NFL Best Bets in 2020.Prepare Week 9 betting tips and plan
