The 2025 NFL Pre-Season, the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM Eastern Time and will be broadcast live on the NFL Network.
Match Preview- Colts vs Ravens
The Colts will enter the pre-season opener with an inspiring lineup of quarterbacks. Both Anthony Richardson and off-season signing Daniel Jones are set to play in this match, giving Indy fans their first glimpse of their potential starter. Richardson’s athletic ability and Jones’ experience could make the Colts’ offense difficult for Baltimore to handle in the early going.
Last season, Indianapolis finished 8-9 and stood second in the AFC South. They scored an average of 22.2 points per game but struggled defensively, giving up 25.1 points per game. Head coach Shane Steichen has already confirmed that the starting quarterbacks will get some preseason action, which is why the Colts will start as the favorites in the early going.
The Ravens, on the other hand, had a perfect 12-5 record in 2024 and were in first place in the AFC North. Baltimore has an impressive preseason history under John Harbaugh – including a famous 24-game preseason win streak – but in 2024, they finished just 1-2. Backup Cooper Rush is expected to get significant snaps, while Lamar Jackson is likely to play hardly or not at all.
Prediction and Best Bets
With the Colts’ quarterback struggles heating up, expect them to be on the offensive line quickly and consistently. Baltimore still has a capable roster and should move the ball with Rush as quarterback, but their focus will be more on evaluation than results.
Best Bet: Over 35.5 Points – Both teams have experienced quarterbacks and enough offensive talent to overcome the total.
Prediction: Colts 24 – Ravens 20
