The Ravens have never lost a road playoff game outside of Pittsburgh and I dont think thats going to change on Saturday night.

Saw these tidbits on walterfootball:

"There have been three occasions in Peyton Manning's career where he has rested for two weeks. The Colts averaged just 19.3 points after that - a low number for a Manning-led squad - and all three of those games were losses."

"Now, Manning's in even more trouble because he perennially struggles against 3-4 defenses in the playoffs. Just check these numbers out: Manning has played in 15 postseason contests. Against 4-3 formations, he's 6-3 (and on a 6-0 run). But when going up against a 3-4 base, he's just 1-5, which includes a loss against the Billy Volek-led Chargers at home in 2007."

"Since 2005, seven teams have won a road playoff game in Round 1. Those seven teams are a perfect 7-0 against the spread in Round 2. That's amazing."

I know the last tidbit is for betting purposes only, but the Ravens are 7 point dogs, sorta like they were last year when they went into Tennessee and clobbered the Titans.
