Prop Bets: Indianapolis Colts VS Baltimore Ravens 2025-08-07
Preseason Showdown: Colts vs. Ravens – A Snore-Fest with a Side of "Why Are We Watching This?"
The Baltimore Ravens (home underdogs at +5.5, decimal odds: 1.91-2.0) are basically playing a dress rehearsal for The Biggest Loser: NFL Edition. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry are on the sidelines sipping Gatorade and texting their agents, so expect a defensive clinic where both teams practice their best "I’ll just hold the ball and stare at you" routine. The Indianapolis Colts (-5.5 to -6, 1.83-1.93), meanwhile, are trotting out Anthony Richardson Sr. for 1.5 quarters like he’s auditioning for a role in QB: The Musical.
Key Stats & Odds:
- Moneyline: Colts at 1.36-1.43 (implied probability: 58-53%), Ravens at 2.95-3.22 (33-32%).
- Spread: Colts -5.5/-6 (1.83-1.93), Ravens +5.5/+6 (1.88-2.0).
- Total: 36.5 points (1.87-1.95 on Over/Under).
Player Props? The only prop worth noting is "Will Anthony Richardson throw a pick-six or a tipped pass to a Ravens rookie?" (Odds: 50/50, because preseason).
Prediction: This game will be like a chess match where both players only know how to move the pawn. The Ravens’ new defense (Malaki Starks, Jaire Alexander) will look like a well-oiled machine, and Deandre Hopkins will catch one glorified pass before sitting out. The Colts’ offense? A yoyo—up when Richardson fakes a spike, down when Daniel Jones fakes a hamstring injury.
Bet: Take the Under 36.5 (1.87-1.95). Why? Because neither team wants to hurt egos before the real money starts. And if you must go for the spread, back the Ravens +6 for the sheer joy of watching Colts fans panic when Anthony Richardson tries to outrun a defensive back.
Final Score Prediction: Colts 12, Ravens 10. (Yes, the Ravens will score a touchdown. It’ll be the 11th most exciting TD of all time.)
