Why are the Colts -3 at home against the Bengals?

[Goat Milk]

The Colts have to be one of the worst teams in the NFL... I don't understand this line at all. Andrew Luck hasn't taken 4 quarters of real NFL hits in years... His upper body could be cashed out by halftime. Sore upper body = mistakes when throwing.

Bengals are all healthy and ready to go. A year where no one expects anything of them, could be the year they finally do something decent, like win a playoff game.

[Ratpack]

home field it would be a pickem on a neutral field line seems about right

i still thing bengals win by at least a td

[Hman]

Not sure the Bengals are much better.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Favor the Bengals +3 in this spot.

[kidcudi92]

Everyone on bengals ❌❌❌

[mdunlap3]

Logic: Neutral field pick em. 3 points to the home team.

[MMXVII]

Because Luck.

Colts fan. I want Colts to win but I've been eyeing down that Bengals +135 for weeks. Colts especially in trouble if starting LT doesn't play. Mack doesn't play week 1 either probably. Will be rookie Wilkins and Turbin suspended so 3rd stringer at RB with Wilkins. Bengals have that d-line that will get after them and Luck will scramble and probably take hits as often as he slides. Will probably throw 1 or 2 picks in first FULL game back when under heavy duress once they are losing by a TD or more. Bengals weapons are healthy for week 1. Colts new defensive scheme like Eagles but don't have the players for it yet on D-line totally. Bengals just need to not f it up in the redzone.

[KRIT]

I think perception on both teams are pretty low, they are favoring colts by a FG likely due to home field plus Luck being back. Have Colts done anything to improve this offseason. Seems like every season they put out the same garbage team. Bengals look like a solid play, heard they upgraded the offensive line.

[jjgold]

They’re both very bad teams I would have to think you’re taking the under in Cincinnati has the worst coach in the National Football League

Isn't Hines the more highly regarded rookie RB?

Isn't Hines the more highly regarded rookie RB?

Wilkins was 100x better than Hines in the preseason. All Hines did was drop and fumble the ball on punt and kick returns... he sucks.

Wilkins can block as a rb, he hits the hole quick and seems to always make a couple yards out of nothing. he can catch. I am looking forward to having Mack and Wilkins together as 1 2 punch.

Turbin short yardage guy once hes back.

Stay away game

Word

[DOM_Toretto]

I imagine bengals outplay colts for 3 quarters then Luck wills the team to a comeback home victory like he always does.

[Goat Milk]

Stay away game

No. Bengals are better than the Colts.

[2daBank]

Wasn’t this a 1 point game last year w god knows who starting at qb for Indy? Sure bungals have a better roster but they also have a ginger bitch at qb and a nitwit for a coach. Pass for me but gun to head (or in weekly pick contest) I’m taking Indy., what I do like for a play is the over; I think both teams should put points up.

[CanuckG]

Colts by 10

[chico2663]

you have to go back to 1997 .I was there.as the last time cincy won at indy . boomer came from arizona i think to lead the victory. Indy should have it's way because the line makers want you to bet cincy

[seaborneq]

No way would I take Indy until I see Luck throw a touchdown pass to the TY Hilton. Until then, I'm against the colts until they prove that Luck is ALL the way back.

[JMobile]

No. Bengals are better than the Colts.

So are you taking the Bengals?

[JayDr3am]

best play on the board imo

[Goat Milk]

So are you taking the Bengals?

Yes. Already put $100 on the ml

Indy and "have its way" don't go in the same sentence.

This^^

[Grits n' Gravy]

Cinnci ml or pass for me.

Until Luck proves he can play a real game, colts are tough to back.

[TheVegasGrind]

Everyone is on the Bengals and the line has moved up from the opener. Give me the colts -3. Marvin Lewis should have been fired 5 times already. Colts will be motivated with Luck back.

thats the only reason the pick is sketchy now..everyone and their dad is on it

[Barnes & Whine]

A lot of guys like Brent Musburger are leaning Bengals of Vegas Stats and Information network VSIN.com

[LT Profits]

Looks like 3s are mostly gone now, consensus line -2.5

[MRivera42]

Colts 33 Bengals 24

[pavyracer]

It will be a battle of two 3-13 teams.

[Mr KLC]

[ThaTopMoron]

same old sht

Colts up 23-10... start sucking ass

have ball 23-17 and are at 3rd and 14 for a 55 yard FG... pick up 5 to 8 yards get the FG and go up 2 scores right?

Colts try to throw the ball all the way to the left sideline and Luck throws it into the turf... even if dude caught it he gains next to nothing...

Vinny proceeds to miss his FG Bengals then go up 24-23 on a drive where the Colts got called for a bunch of dumbass penalties

end of game moving ball down 4... throw dumbass screen, lose 5 yards... dumb ass run/ incomplete pass by indecisive Luck... 3rd and 15 and Doyle has it and fumbles on the way down... to lose the game, like he did last year

anyone going to put money on this team on the road vs redskins, eagles... PATRIOTS... all coming up soon

when Colts were up 23-10 i wanted to slam the Bengals live moneyline but didn't out of respect for my team. seeing as i already put 1 unit on Bengals +135 last week.
