I had an 8K high definition vision this afternoon that the Colts beat the Ravens.  Blankenship bangs a field goal through the uprights late in the game to give3 the Colts the edge.  And for investors 0 the vision included Wentz running for more than 9.5 yards and completing more than 21.5 passes.  Lamar Jackson will run more than 10.5 times, and the total score will rest just below 46.5 points!
