Super Bowl odds proclaimed Indianapolis as the favorite to win professional football’s biggest prize, but they’ll have their hands full on Saturday when they host a dangerous and hungry Baltimore team.

Ravens vs Colts betting – Saturday, January 16, 8:15 PM ET

The Ravens had three sacks and forced four turnovers in a 33-14 dismantling of New England on the road, and Ray Rice also had a big day, rushing for 159 yards and a pair of scores. Joe Flacco wasn’t called upon much, and he’s been bothered by a hip injury.

The Colts lost their last two after deciding to sit their starters, but Peyton Manning still won his fourth MVP award in a landslide. Manning has continued to put up big numbers while losing some of his weapons, along with a subpar running game. The defense has also been bit by injury, particularly on the corners.

Indianapolis is a 6.5-point favorite in this contest, and they’ve won seven in a row over the Ravens, including a 17-15 victory in Week 10 in Baltimore. The Colts need to shore up their run defense to keep Rice under wraps, but their main priority is Manning. If they can keep their leader on his feet, the Colts always have a chance. After a week of rest, take the Colts this weekend.

Bookmakers odds (bookmaker reviews) pick: Indianapolis -6.5

With the college football season nearing the end and the NFL season entering the final quarter, there’s plenty of action this weekend that will keep me glued to the couch.

We’ve got the Civil War, with Oregon vs Oregon State betting, with a Rose Bowl berth on the line for Oregon State. We’ve got the Steelers vs Patriots odds in Gilette Stadium, which denotes AFC supremacy. And we’ve got the Jaguars vs Texans odds on Monday Night Football. Enjoy the latter game.

But here’s a shocker in what might be the biggest game of the weekend:

Everyone is talking about how much the BCS is going to factor in a potential tie in the Big 12 between Oklahoma and Texas but everyone is forgetting that there are Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State odds to deal with first.

I’m predicting Oklahoma State causes Bedlam and upsets Oklahoma this weekend in what is their biggest game in school history. This is their Super Bowl and they will be focused on putting on a show at their new stadium. The bye week should also help.

Online betting pick: Oklahoma State +8 & +250
