Colts @ Ravens More or Less Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Carson Wentz more than 240.5 passing yards and Lamar Jackson more than 225.5 passing yards
Wentz and the Colts will enter this game as seven-point underdogs, which automatically leads me to the over on this prop as they will be forced to throw the ball to stay in the game. The Ravens have also struggled against quarterbacks this season as they are allowing the ninth-most passing yards per game to the position by allowing over 293 yards per game. Wentz has gone over this total in two of the Colts' first four games and likely would have gone over last week against Miami had the Colts not been able to milk the clock late. Tye likely will not have that luxury this week and he should be able to get over this total.
Lamar Jackson has eclipsed this total in each game this season and certainly has the opportunity to do it again this week. The Colts have been solid against the run as they have allowed just over 350 rushing yards to the running back position over the first four games. The fact that Baltimore does not have an established RB1 also lends to the fact that they could be passing a bit more in this game, and on the season as a whole, Jackson has attempted at least 30 passes in three of the Ravens' first four games, and with volume like this, it is extremely difficult to see him going under the number in this one.

Colts @ Ravens More or Less Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Marquise Brown more than 13.5 fantasy points and Michael Pittman Jr. more than 12.5 fantasy points
Brown is without a doubt the top target for Lamar Jackson as he has been targeted 28 times and hauled in 19 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns. He enters this contest facing a Colts' defense that has allowed wide receivers to haul in eight touchdowns on the season, which is ranked worst in the NFL. They have also allowed wide receivers to average 161.5 receiving yards per game and have given up a total of 43 receptions on 67 targets. Brown should certainly be able to find success in the PPR format and has a solid chance of getting in the end zone as well.
Michael Pittman Jr. is the leading target earner in Indy as he has seen 36 targets and hauled in 23 of them for 279 yards. This should bode well for him against a Ravens' defense that has allowed 618 yards and three touchdowns to the wide receiver positon in 2021. They have also allowed 44 reeptions on 73 targets to the position. If the Colts fall behind as expected, Pittman should also see an increase in volume to help him get over this total.
