The final game of Week 5 is here. The 3-1 play host to the 1-3 at M&T Bank Stadium, and each team needs to come away with a win to keep pace in the division. Baltimore has weathered a slew of injuries and managed to remain in the mix of AFC contenders, while the Colts have been unable to overcome their ailments and do the same.Will and company net another victory to move to 4-1, or will and the crew pull off an upset on the road? We're glad you asked, because we're here once again to break down the matchup. But first, here's how you can watch the game.Date:Monday, Oct. 11 |Time:8:15 p.m. ETLocation:M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore)TV:ESPN|Stream:fuboTV ( )Follow:Odds:Ravens -7, O/U 46Part of the reason the Colts felt confident they could fix the i sues that plagued Carson Wentz in Philadelphia was that they had an elite offensive line. Well, not so much right now. Star guard is on injured reserve and right tackle is out with foot and thumb injuries after not practicing all week. Wentz has been under pre sure on a league-high 47.4 percent of his dropbacks this season, per TruMedia Chad Henne Jersey , and while some of that is attributable to his tendency to hang on to the ball for too long, but some of it is also attributable to a line that is obviously not operating at a high level at the moment. As a result, Wentz is not really threatening defenses with any downfield pa ses. He's averaging just 6.6 air yards per attempt, the fourth-lowest mark among qualified pa sers. While he has avoided turning the ball over (one interception and one fumble in four games), he has also completed just 10 pa ses of 20 yards or more. Only , , , , and had fewer prior to Week 5.None of this is ideal when facing a Baltimore defense that has largely excelled despite several injuries in the defensive backfield. The Ravens sport the league's fourth-highest pre sure rate on opponent dropbacks, and they send extra rushers on the blitz more often than all but three teams as well. Rookie edge rusher is off to Dicaprio Bootle Jersey a terrific start, and he's been a wonderful complement to the more experienced pa s rushers like , , , and .Indianapolis figures to try to center the game plan around and the ground game -- the better to keep Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense off the field. But Baltimore's blitz-heavy defense is also good against the run, ranking inside the NFL's top 10 so far, and with the Colts' offensive line i sues, they may find it difficult to get Mike Remmers Jersey much going against the likes of Campbell, , , and . The best plan of attack might be one where the Colts attack with short, quick pa ses to out of the backfield (right in Wentz's wheelhouse anyway), or to or on short cro sers. That way, they'd be targeting Baltimore's linebackers rather than a secondary that has so far been extremely stingy in coverage. It'll be interesting to see whether the Ravens use to shadow Pittman, who has been the clear No. 1 receiver, or elect to keep him in the slot (working mostly against ) and trust on the outside.Remember this? . says Lamar Jackson is a sleeper for QB under the most pre sure this season "There are a lot of people around the league that I speak to ... they say this might be the year that everybody figures out Lamar Jackson." Get Up (@GetUpESPN) Yeah, that is not happening. Jackson has been working without his left tackle for most of the season, without his first-round pick wide receiver, and without the team's top three running backs. And he leads the NFL in yards per completion (14.4). He's averaging a career-best 269.3 pa sing yards per game and he is once again gaining over six yards per carry on double-digit rushing attempts per contest. It is extremely safe to say that the league has not exactly figured him out.Even without , Jackson is balling at the moment, and he should continue to do so against an Indianapolis defense that has underwhelmed relative to expectations thus far this year. The Colts rank just 25th in pa s defense DVOA through four weeks, per Football Outsiders, and they've allowed a horrendous 128.1 pa ser rating on throws at least 10 yards downfield Tommy Townsend Jersey . That's the second-worst mark in the league, and a blinking neon light for Jackson to attack the Colts deep with -- especially with cornerback and edge rusher out for this game. The Colts have gotten pre sure at an average-ish rate so far this year, but they've been quite vulnerable to quarterback scrambles when he breaks contain, yielding 10.5 yards per rush on those plays. (This despite their zone-heavy defensive scheme that should theoretically do a better job against scrambling quarterbacks than teams that play more man coverage.) Obviously, losing contain and allowing Jackson to break the pocket and take off down the field is unacceptable when playing against the Ravens, though we could also see the Colts try to shadow him with , their fastest side-to-side linebacker. Not many teams have had much succe L'Jarius Sneed Jersey s shadowing Jackson in the past, but it might be worth a shot.Jackson is also the focal point of the team's run game, and he's complemented now by a trio of veterans who don't bring much to the table. (The coaching staff apparently does not trust the team's most dynamic runner -- -- in pa s protection.) led the way in the backfield last week, followed by and . All three have been cut at some point in the last year, and none of them should be considered much of a threat against the Colts' No. 5-ranked rush defense by DVOA. Most of the running back runs are designed to go up the middle while Jackson threatens the edges, and the Ravens would be far better off doing the latter anyway, so as to not run right into up the gut. Latest Odds: Baltimore Ravens -7.5 Prediction: Ravens 27, Colts 13
