This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the UNDER between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Indianapolis Colts.
These are two teams which can put points on the board at a prodigious rate, but I feel the conditions are right for a slower-paced "chess match" style of contest where field position becomes paramount in the outcome, so in my opinion all signs point to this one falling below the posted number. I think the home side comes in a bit complacent here, and that's going to be dangerous vs. this hungry Bengals team which will be desperate to turn things around after a sluggish patch. Cincinnati is coming off a couple of high-scoring games, a poor 43-17 setback to New England and then last week's 37-37 tie with Carolina. However, it's not all doom and gloom for the Bengals who still lead the AFC North: "I can't look behind. It does no good looking back," coach Marvin Lewis assessed earlier in the week. "There's too much ahead to look back all the time, and there's too much change in the future to look back. You're wasting your time look backwards." After back-to-back losses, the Colts have reeled off four-straight wins led by QB Andrew Luck who leads the NFL with 1,987 passing yards and 17 TD's. Last week Indianapolis held on for a 33-28 win over the Texans on Thursday night. Note that Cincinnati will once again be without the services of star receiver AJ Green because of a toe injury; expect the team to lean even more on RB Giovanni Benard who had a career high 137 rushing yards on 18 carries last week. If Cincinnati has any shot at pulling off an upset, obviously it needs to tighten up on the defensive end, it's been a weakness the last two games: "We really have to go back and just do our jobs on defense," Lewis said. "We're trying to do too much, and guys need to relax and do their thing, and keep doing your job consistently play after play after play." Note that the Bengals have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 14 as an underdog, while Indianapolis has seen it dip below the posted number in four of its last six as a home favorite of 3 points or less. I feel that the situation, the numbers and the trends all point to the UNDER as the savvy wager in this contest.
