Indy needs to keep winning and you would have to think the offense rebounds after being shut out of the endzone last week. They are home, offense is much better in the dome, and Bengals have totally quit already. A few false starts by the bungals in the dome and you have the passing situations that will result in some sack/fumbles by Freeney and crew. No way the Colts offense does that bad against 2 bad D's 2 weeks in a row.
Get in at -13.5 before it moves to 14.

CINCINNATI OFFENSE: I figured I'd post that story here because this game is pretty dull. Peyton Manning and his receivers could all do lines of coke in the locker room a few minutes before kickoff and still win this game by double digits, right?
That's because the Bengals can't do anything on offense. They managed just one first down in the first 29 minutes of the Baltimore game. Without the left side of their offensive line, they could neither run block nor pass protect long enough for Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Things don't get any easier for the Harvard quarterback against Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, though unlike last week, Cincinnati's ground attack could be successful; the injury-plagued Colts are just 23rd versus the rush. In fact, Indianapolis' defense is a welcome sight for Cedric Benson; he's had to battle the Steelers (second versus the run) and Ravens (3rd) the past two weeks.
INDIANAPOLIS OFFENSE: Indianapolis' offense looked sharp against the Chargers, so what happened last week? The Colts failed to score an offensive touchdown, though they fumbled at Cleveland's 1, fumbled again at midfield and stalled in the red zone once.
Believe it or not, the difference was the center position. Jeff Saturday missed his third game of the season, which is why Manning and Joseph Addai struggled. Don't believe me? Just check out the numbers. In the nine contests Saturday has played, Indianapolis has averaged 24 points per game. In the three he's missed? Just 13.7.
With Saturday out again, look for Indianapolis to struggle offensively once again. Cincinnati's defense is much more formidable than Cleveland's. While neither can rush the passer, the Bengals are at least competent against the run (14th) and the pass (13th).
RECAP: Here's a stat that may surprise you. Of Indianapolis' eight victories, only one has been by more than six points!
Saturday's absence is a huge deal. Without him, I can't lay the points with the Colts.

I live in cincy and this should be a practice game for the Colts
I am betting the house on them to cover.. Manning had a bad week last week and cost me against those Cleveland Clowns on a 5 teamer...It wont happen this week..
The bengals don't even have a starting quarterback for Freeney to sack 6 times. Good Luck to all

I have to go with the Colts here giving less that 14. They escaped Cleveland and now they have a team they can destroy at home. The Colts use the Bengals to get their swagger back this week.
Colts 35, Bungals 6

Not a good spot to take the Colts here. Buying the hook and taking the Bengals for the first time this year. I may be wrong, but Colts offense has not been at all themselves this year and shouldn't be giving 14 points to ANY team. If Saturday is still out and possibly Sanders (haven't heard for sure one way of the other on Big Bob) Cincy should be able to keep this close.

COLTS BY AT LEAST 2 TD'S... TAKE IT TO THE BANK...
But Bungles will score some, TJ WhoseYourMama is always a threat.. he only has 4 TD's but might surprise today. Cincy might be good for 14-17 points which could help the over.. but they might have already thrown in the towel also. So I will go with
Indy -13.5 and Over

Agreed
The center is crucial to everything offensively. The colts don't care about the spread that is for sure!
