Indianapolis Colts underdogs at home to Baltimore Ravens in Week 9

The Baltimore Ravens are the betting favorites in their Week 9 road game at the Indianapolis Colts.

The Baltimore Ravens (5-2) travel to meet the Indianapolis Colts (5-2) Sunday in Week 9 at 1 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Below, we take a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Ravens are looking to rebound after suffering a 28-24 setback at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the Ravens have pushed past each of the teams they’re supposed to beat with relative ease, Baltimore has dropped marquee matchups against the unbeaten Steelers and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3 (34-20). The teams Baltimore has beaten are a combined 13-23-2 SU – a winning percentage of .361. The two teams Baltimore has fallen to are a combined 14-1 – a winning percentage of .933. After opening 2-0 ATS, the Ravens are just 1-4 ATS in the previous five. The Under hit in Baltimore’s first three, but the Over is 3-1 across its past four.

The Colts rolled up an impressive 41-21 road victory at the Detroit Lions to cover a 3.5-point number, snapping and 0-2 ATS slide. Indianapolis has enjoyed a little home cooking this season, going 3-0 SU/2-1 ATS, with its lone non-cover a 31-27 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals last time it took the field at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 6. The Colts are allowing just 15.0 PPG in three games on their home field, too, and they’re fifth in the NFL overall with 19.4 PPG allowed. Indy ranks third in the league in total yards allowed (294.3), sixth in passing yards allowed (213.6), while checking in second in rushing yards (79.9) per contest.

Indianapolis Colts slight favorites on road at Detroit Lions in Week 8

The Indianapolis Colts are favorites in their Week 8 road matchup at the Detroit Lions.

The Indianapolis Colts (4-2) visit the Detroit Lions (3-3) at Ford Field for a Sunday 1 p.m. ET contest in Week 8. Below, we take a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Colts had a bye last week after earning a 31-27 come-from-behind victory at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. Indianapolis has won four of its last five games, and a solid defense has led the way in the victories. The Blue Horseshoe heads into Sunday’s game ranked in the top 5 in points allowed (19.2 per game), rush defense (88.3 yards per game) and pass defense (199.7).

The Lions are coming off a wild Week 7 game at the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. Detroit won on a Matthew Stafford-to-T.J. Hockenson touchdown pass as the clock expired. The 11-yard score marked Stafford’s 25 completion on an afternoon that saw him throw for 340 yards. It sends the Lions into Sunday’s home game having won three of their last four.
