Game Preview

Shane Steichen, the Colts HC, stated that both Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones will play against the Ravens. This means one thing, and that would be that the No.1 QB position is still open. No matter what anyone thinks, we strongly believe that the Colts have not yet decided 100% on the starting passer.

No.14 pick from this year’s NFL draft, TE Tyler Warren should get some reps, just to feel both Jones and Richardson too, while we expect to see former Kansas State RB DJ Giddens with a heavy workload.

The Ravens signed Cooper Rush to be Jackson’s backup. The veteran QB will most definitely play the most of the preseason snaps, because Jon Harbaugh needs to have him in the system ASAP.

Rookie OTs Emery Jones and Carson Vinson are about to be tested here, with both of them presenting Baltimore’s stake for the future. Though the Ravens are after the Super Bowl, and they also need to deliver right away, so Harbaugh has to throw them in the fire.

Colts vs. Ravens Head to Head

There were 18 games between the two sides so far. The Colts lead 11 to 7, having beaten the Ravens via overtime in the most recent event, held in Baltimore in 2023, 22-19.

Colts vs. Ravens Predictions

Both teams will have good quarterbacks on the field, so we don’t expect there to be too many mistakes. All of them have enough experience to lead their units steadily and calmly. That’s why we picked over 35.5 points for this event.
