7 starters OUT for Bal. Indy better with Minshew.

Raiders, I've been scouting out this game. I like it.

A few things:
1) Colts were one-yard away from covering vs JAX.
2) They looked lively w/ Richardson at QB at Hou.
3) Do you think Richardson sits for sure? You're right, Richardson to Minshew is parallel at worst.

Only difference is that Richardson was providing some explosive run plays. Also, I see that C Kelly is on the Injury Rpt.

On the Baltimore side, a few things:
1) Consider the BAL/CIN game. So much is tied to Burrow health. That's not the real Bengal team.
2) One thing I noticed in my Baltimore review. Their explosive plays have dried up. Makes sense for end of 2022 when Lamar was out. But even in the early going of 2023, their Offense looks sluggish.

They ARE better with Minchew IMO as well.

Not saying the other guy is no good but you don't have to deal with that learning curve.

Minchew might help here.

Balt. had 4 starters out last week. Didn't miss a beat. 7? That's pushing it.

Steady rain all game is predicted.

Hopefully 8 is enough.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 09-22-23, 04:47 PM

In. Colts +8.

I saw the BALT injury list. Some pretty big names.

Thx, Raid. GL.

**asiagambler** · 09-22-23, 04:51 PM

Most of those guys don't really matter and/or have more than adequate replacements

Richardson definitely OUT. Baltimore beat up on an awful Houston team and gimpy Burrow team.

Replacements

LT Mekari , started 4 games last year but is OK
CB Seymour. 0 starts last year.
LB Robinson , rookie 0 starts drafted 4th round
C Mustipher bum starter from Bears undrafted
FS Stephens started 4 games last year.
CB , 3rd string

can be replaced:
RB Dobbins
WR Odell
LB Bowser

Who knows what happens but you can cover up a couple of starters out but not 1/3 of the team. If Lamar goes off, then Balt tough to beat.

Same to you Chucky. After football season we should move right in to the crypto season.

**asiagambler** · 09-22-23, 05:50 PM

But what about Lamar ?

**raiders72001** · 09-22-23, 05:56 PM

Mekari is more than ok and Stanley hasn't been healthy in years anyway so is that even a dropoff ?
If you watched Game 1 and Game 2 the answer is NO
If you still don't believe me then look up what Von Miller said about him

Yes the secondary is missing some big names but Humphrey hasn't played all season. Tyus Bowser ditto. Williams got hurt in Week 1. If you're basing your play on that, you're doing it based on information that's been known for weeks or months

Seymour will continue to have 0 starts. Darby, Ya-sin and Stephens are all ahead of him
The 3rd string's name is Arthur Maulet. Do you even know the guy he is replacing ?
Me neither (well actually I do) so what does it even matter

Oweh ?
Who cares, maybe their pass rush will actually improve now

And Beckham ?
Who cares x2 this isn't 2016 anymore

I will say that's still quite a list and even though everything I said is true, there can always be a sort of domino effect where it reaches a tipping point. Still I would say rain is your biggest ally here, not these injuries. Jackson has some ball security issues and it's doubly so when it's wet out

Something though you may also consider is that Jackson might play with a bit more an edge this game given what happened over the summer and the contract situation. He could take it a bit personal that the Colts didn't make a serious bid for him when he was tagged

They are bringing up a guy from the practice squad to replace Oweh. In total 3 guys that have never started in the NFL. Bal was hurt last week too and got away with it but you can't say these injuries don't matter.

With Oweh out, Harbaugh already stated Friday that second-year outside linebacker Jeremiah Moon will be called up from the practice squad to play in his first NFL game

Well I don't know how many times I can say the same thing

Lamar

**asiagambler** · 09-22-23, 06:04 PM

Lamar could go off

Moon > Oweh there you go

Moon may be better some day but I'm not going to debate this further when you think a practice squad guy, a 4th round rookie with no starts and another guy with 0 starts can replace starters. Baltimore could blow Indy out. Indy is a bad team but I'll take the 8 points.

Balty 2-0 and undefeated and playing at home. Hard to fade that. Line is fat though. This game is a pass for me.

Tease em down if you like Bal. Some nice legs out there. I'm just sitting on Indy.

GL. They really have 10 starters OUT because 3 are on IR.

**raiders72001** · 09-22-23, 07:21 PM

It may also be raining because of Ophelia.

**lakerboy** · 09-22-23, 07:56 PM

I like this play. Good luck

Balti going to ruin my survivor entry

Thanks, Raider. I definitely think the Colts were one team where the Backup QB would improve their PR fractionally.

I'm in. Go, Colts.

Confirmation of Richardson out:

Colts rule out QB Richardson against Ravens

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38462419/colts-qb-anthony-richardson-protocol-vs-ravens

Anthony Richardson will not play in Sunday's game against the Ravens as he remains in the concussion protocol, with a source telling ESPN that the quarterback is optimistic about returning in Week 4.

Unwise. Did Johnny V. get on this yet? I'd wait and see.

https://sicscore.com/nfl/games when you click on the player it tells when he was injured and the backup. Chao is also on every Friday Moving the Chains on Sirius.

**raiders72001** · 09-23-23, 03:38 AM

This is what it looks like when you click a player. Hou banged up too.

**unde0087** · 09-23-23, 03:46 AM

Books just pointing everyone to bet this it seems to me. Ravens 31-10.

Public is pounding Bal although the score may be 31-10 Ravens. DK has 92% Bal. Others have Bal too but not that high. Public looking at the Richardson injury thinking it's a big deal. Sharp money keeping the line down is my guess but the only thing that counts is the final score, not sharp money. Being on the right side means nothing. The rain hurting Minshew is one thing I'm worried about
