Colts-Bengals Betting Preview

Indianapolis enters this game on a four-game winning streak, securing an overtime victory against Tennessee last week with a final score of 31-28. Despite trailing 17-7 in the second quarter and facing challenges on third downs and in the red zone, the Colts managed to win in overtime with a 75-yard drive ending in a touchdown.

The Colts were without RB Jonathan Taylor but benefited from special teams, including a blocked punt returned for a TD, which played a crucial role in their victory. After losing three consecutive games earlier in the season, Indianapolis has bounced back with four straight wins.

With a 7-5 record, the Colts are currently tied with three other teams for the 5th to 8th spots in the AFC playoff standings.

Cincinnati ended a three-game losing streak with a thrilling 34-31 overtime victory against Jacksonville on Monday night. Despite starting as 10-point underdogs and with Jake Browning at QB, the Bengals rallied to win, accumulating 471 yards of offense with Browning throwing for 354 yards and a score.

Cincinnati started the season 1-3, then won four straight games to reach 5-3. However, they faced a setback when QB Joe Burrow was injured, but backup Jake Browning showed promise in their recent win.

With a 6-6 record, Cincinnati is one game behind the four-way tie at 7-5 in the AFC.

The last meeting between these teams occurred three seasons ago, resulting in a 31-27 Colts home win. Philip Rivers was the quarterback for Indianapolis, and Joe Burrow played for the Bengals.

Free NFL Betting Pick

Indianapolis is playing winning football with Minshew at QB and an opportunistic defense. Cincinnati ranks last in the League in rushing and total defense. The Colts also have a better performance against common opponents. While both teams are coming off significant victories last week, Indianapolis appears to be the more consistent team, making Cincinnati more susceptible to a letdown. In this spot, we favor the Colts.
