🔥 Ravens vs. Colts Predictions for NFL Week 1, Sunday, 9/13

As just about every team can say, there are a ton of moving parts going on heading into their season opener, but it’s certainly true for these two squads. The commonality between the two absolutely impacts how you’ll want to approach Ravens vs. Colts predictions, as both QBs have injury concerns. 

We know that Lamar Jackson was never really fully healthy last season (he openly said as much), and Daniel Jones is coming off a torn Achilles tendon. In fact, the similarities don’t end there - both teams gave their top WRs big contracts this season. Alec Pierce will no longer fly under the radar, while Zay Flowers will continue to have the pressure on him.

It also can’t be forgotten that we won’t be making Ravens vs. Colts predictions on a Baltimore squad led by John Harbaugh, who is now leading the New York Giants. With him went Isaiah Likely, leaving an aging Mark Andrews at the TE position. However, he and Flowers aren’t the only weapons for Lamar.

Derrick Henry will be looking to continue defying the 30+ RB stigma, but our eyes are on a rookie for the best bet from our Ravens vs. Colts predictions for Week 1!

🏅 Ravens vs. Colts Expert Pick: Ja'Kobi Lane Over 17.5 Receiving Yards (Use Kalshi To Trade On Anything)

So far, we’ve noted Mark Andrews on the downswing of his career and Flowers with his new contract, but one guy we haven’t noted yet is Rashod Bateman. He’s dealt with his fair share of injuries, and to help add some depth to the WR room, the Ravens drafted Ja'Kobi Lane out of USC in the third round; he’s the focus of our Ravens vs. Colts predictions.

First and foremost, since we haven’t seen him in real game action yet, the line we need to exceed could end up looking like an absolute joke. Word out of Baltimore is that the team cannot get him involved soon enough, so this could end up hitting in a single reception en route to six catches for 65 yards.

That’s even more of a possibility given the Colts' pass defense. That’s a unit that was dogged on in Baltimore last year and exploited for more than just Ravens vs. Colts predictions, but they can do the same. There were only two teams that allowed more passing yards per game last season - you guessed it - Indy was one of them (the Dallas Cowboys were the other). 

Opposing defenses are going to be prioritizing slowing down Henry and containing Flowers as well, which should take any pressure off the rookie. We fully expect him to be rostered in more than 18% of ESPN fantasy football leagues like he is right now, so we’re locking in Ja’Kobi Lane over 17.5 receiving yards (trade at Kalshi) as the best bet from our Ravens vs. Colts predictions for Sunday!
