No doubt in my mind Cin covers.
i don't see Indy O line holding up. Running gm is just not there yet.
Luck may pull it out , come from behind but Cincy will be up in the 4thQ

 

[guaranteeed]

I just cant get over that game from earlier this year

I loved Cincy and they got absolutely hammered

i agree, very worried if AJ Green isn't healthy though I think the offense is completely different with Jeremy Hill as the feature instead of Gio (who got hurt in round one)

Anyone with a good status on Green?

 

[Gandolf]

Green being listed as doubtful, did not practice on Friday.

 

[Tito]

I liked the Bengals, but no Green would make me stay away from them + the points…he looked so off last week anyway

 

[aplous]

Jeremy Hill gonna eat....he's playin like a man and I don't think Indy can stop him. Bengal secondary impressed me at Pitt last week for the most part doing a good job. I'm all over Cincy.

can't blame ya, but that offense looked horrid without AJ. If you're Pagano I'm sure you're stacking the box to make Dalton beat you and I don't want to have any money out there suggesting he can at +3 on the road

IND has sucked lately though

 

[Grind_4_Mine]

You guys got some big ass nuts backing Dalton in the playoffs even though Hugh is gonna feed Hill 25+ times as aplous alluded to. As a Bengals fan, last season's wildcard home loss to the Chargers was the breaking point for me (2 picks and a lost fumble for Dalton). But hey, at least he threw for his first playoff TD in that one. One of the Gresham drops a couple yrs back against Houston I will never forget. Now that I'm not going to have my annual homer wager in play, I'm sure they'll cover and/or win.

I think you can let a little money go for the first road playoff W in history lol

...SD was so hot, bad draw last year

 

[detroit187]

My money wont be on Dalton on the road in playoffs sans AJ.

Colts luckbox ends here....Bengal D is solid. Cant trust a team without a run game and that is what Indy is.

22nd in total yards given up, 20th in passing yards given up.

 

[B.A.R.]

first matchup was on 10/19, a Indy 27-0 win.

Indy had 335 passing and 506 total...

Since then, throwing out bad QB's they played and Baltimore once who is 'just like that' in regular season...

255 and 330 total in win at Nawlins(not bad)..

350 and 543 total Pitt(42 points)

300 and 385 total Denver(28 points) *weather*

317 passing Pitt (27 points) * no Bell 2nd half

 

[JumpOnBoard]

Bengals had less sacks than JJ watt and Justin Houston has by themselves as well

 

[JumpOnBoard]

If cincy wins a road playoff game without four of their top five pass catchers with Andy Dalton then Hue Jackson should get all of the head coaching openings by himself

 

[aplous]

22nd in total yards given up, 20th in passing yards given up.

12th in the league in what counts....scoring D.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Marvin Lewis v. Pep Hamilton...Good luck

 

[Lexington 125]

I do think there is a misconception about how good the Bengals defense really is. Cincy gives up 116.3 on the ground (Indy gives up 113.4). As BAR said the Bengals give up yardage in the passing game avg 243 per game (Indy 229). I'm not saying the Colts defense is better because it isn't, just don't think you can't use bengals defense as a reason why you like them.

I don't see how the Colts defensive gameplan isn't just to stack the box and try to make Andy throw 40x. Everyone knows Hills is the guy that could wreak havoc on the Colts d, so I would expect he gets most of the attention. AJ out is huge, but I just keep thinking back to how bad Dalton played in some of their games. I don't know how I can back a team with the #1 offensive star out, with a mediocre qb on the road to boot. Luck has struggled at times this season, but he also threw 21 more tds than Dalton with 1 less int.

If you really think Hill goes off a total yards prop may be a solid wager. He will no doubt get a ton touches/screens/short passes.

Lex, i think you are on to something here.......
I also like TY rec prop Over 5 catches is a solid play as well

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

If Colts win, do they play Denver? That's huge for the NFL

 

[The Capping Genius]

Bengals and Lions ATS and SU.

Winnerof this this game plays Denver

 

[emkee]

Lang on the Colts -3 for 100 dimes.

 

[Lexington 125]

damn

 

[C-MAN]

Just went pretty large on Colts 2h ov 13 and Colts 2h -1/2. Colts missed a bunch of opportunities in the 1h with TY drops and fumble at the end of the 1h and Cincy lucky to be hanging around.

 

[aplous]

Hedging some Bengals +4 and +10 with Indy over 13.....Maluaga hurt is no Bueno for Cincy.
