In the last two weeks, Luck has posted stat lines of 370 and 393 yards with four touchdowns in each outing. Given, he faced hapless defenses Jacksonville and Tennessee, but it’s clear that Luck is riding high right now. The Ravens aren’t much better than those teams; they rank 26th in passing yards allowed per attempt.

4. Steve Smith Will Keep Up The Good Work

At age 35, Smith is still turning heads. He’s actually on pace for one of his best seasons as a pro. Look for the Ravens to continue giving Smith a heavy workload, as Smith has proven that despite his mid-30s status he is the team’s best receiving threat.

3. Ravens' Interception Problems Will Continue

The Ravens’ defense has only logged one interception through four games, thanks to nose tackle Haloti Ngata. Don’t expect that number to increase this week against one of the league’s smartest quarterbacks.

2. Multiple Sacks From Cory Redding

To this point, Cory Redding, one of the Colts’ premier pass rushers, has recorded just one sack. The Colts will need Redding to deliver against a Ravens passing offense that is coming into Sunday’s game on a high note after last week, and expect him to deliver.

This game will be close for the first few quarters, but the Colts will pull away in the second half. That 0-2 start is a distant memory to a Colts team that has gotten back on track in recent weeks and is ready to dismount the Ravens in the AFC pecking order.
