Colts vs Bengals Preseason Betting Prediction
The Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals meet in Week 3 of the NFL preseason, setting the stage for a betting matchup with plenty of intriguing angles. Historically, these teams have played tight contests, but Cincinnati has recently controlled the series, winning decisively in 2023 while Indianapolis bounced back in the preseason a year ago. The Colts enter this game with serious concerns against the spread, managing only one cover in their last eight attempts. On the other hand, bettors have consistently cashed in on overs involving Indianapolis, with their last five contests soaring past the posted total. That trend is especially important against a Bengals team that has been equally prone to high-scoring battles.

Colts vs Bengals Preseason Betting Prediction: Indianapolis
For Indianapolis, their offensive identity hinges on a strong ground game that ranks among the top ten in rushing yards per contest. However, the passing attack has been one of the league’s weakest statistically, ranking near the bottom in completions per game. Preseason football often tests roster depth, and the Colts will need contributions from backup quarterbacks and younger receivers to avoid falling behind early. While the Colts’ recent struggles on the road are concerning, history shows they have covered in five of their last six road games against Cincinnati, which could give bettors some confidence in taking the points.

Colts vs Bengals Preseason Betting Prediction: Cincinnati
Cincinnati, however, enters with momentum, having covered in six of their last seven games and posting strong records against conference opponents. Their ability to produce offensively has fueled consistent overs, with nine of their last twelve contests eclipsing the line. Depth at wide receiver and quarterback rotation could be the difference here, as the Bengals have typically handled preseason matchups with stronger execution than Indianapolis. While trends suggest another high-scoring affair, bettors must weigh Cincinnati’s poor August track record against their current form. Still, given their consistency and recent spread dominance, the Bengals look like the safer side for this preseason clash.
