The Ravens (2-0) and Colts (1-1) will meet on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium in an intriguing AFC contest.
Indianapolis is rebuilding in the AFC South and dealing with rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, who’s in the concussion protocol and will miss the matchup against MVP candidate Lamar Jackson.

All five experts at NFL.com are pickng the Ravens.
If the Colts are going to pull the upset, they will need to force Lamar Jackson into some errors and play a sound enough defensive game to give themselves a chance. Also, they will need a heroic performance from backup QB Gardner Minshew if Anthony Richardson is still out after suffering a concussion last week. That seems like asking a lot of Indianapolis. As fun as it is to think of the alternative, I’m not foreseeing an encore of Minshew Mania in Baltimore.
