Colts vs Bengals predictions

[RockThatBlue]

I see us winning 21-10. I don't know why but I feel like this will be a low scoring game. Guess we'll see.

[ThaCaliColt]

31-26 Colts

 

Furious comeback by Colts late in the game after going down early...

[Carlos Danger]

24-23 INDY

Luck takes us down the field with no time outs and under a minute to play to get AV in range for the game winner...

[akcolt]

I don't think it is going to be that close. 31-17 Indy.

 

I don't think the Bengals can score with us and I think we come out ready to play on Sunday. We are healthy on D and TY will be running around again. I think we will have some happy folks on the board Sunday night. TY hasn't played since we clinched the division.

[ColtsBTM12]

I think we should win, I just hope there's no 28 point comeback this time around so it doesn't stress me out so much.

[Hammer]

Colts are favored -3.5  I took the Bengals.

[braveheartcolt]

Depends on which of these two Jekyll and Hyde teams show up. Undecided. I'll just watch and hope for the best....

Colts 26 Bengals 20 OT Hilton 31 yard GW TD

You hit that squarely on the head. We all know the Colts. The Bengals are even more strange. They get hammered at home against Cleveland early on...beat the Ravens twice...get slaughtered by the Colts, Pats, and Pitt. Now, they finish the season by *-pounding the Browns at Cleveland....beat the Broncos by 9.....and gave the Steelers more than they wanted last week in Pitt. with Green fumbling at the Pitt. 32 with under 4:00 to play, only down by three.

[tomloge]

Colts 30 Bengals 27.  I see a game that goes back and forth throughout and remains close.

Went against your own team.

[Hammer]

Went against your own team.

Always will if I feel it's a good bet. Besides, if the Colts win by 3 or less, I'm happy both ways. If the Colts win by more than 3, I'll still be happy and just chalk it up to a lost bet. If the Bengals beat us, well, the pain will be a little less.  ;)

[coltsfanatic24]

Colts 24 - Bengals 20 

[MTC]

I was going to pick the Colts to win, but now since Cherlius is out, I'm starting to doubt it.

 

Bengals - 27

Colts - 23

[sfergson727]

Bengals 24 Colts 17

 

(Seems like when I pick the Colts to win, they actually lose, so reverse psychology is at play here)

[runthepost]

If the Bengals running backs and Dalton combine for 150 yards or more on the ground well...

[JlynRN]

Colts - 27  Bengals - 21

 

Don't think it will be a shut out like last time they met, but I am confident the Colts will get the job done again !!!

[Stephen]

I think it will be 20 to 17 colts

[Jules]

No score. But, I did notice that the Colts only lost this year when it was a later game.

 

And this game is early.

 

 

So I guess Colts win.

I look at a great many angles each week but I didn't realize this one! I may have to hedge!!

The later games are usually against tougher competition. 

[ViriLudant]

Good luck today, Colts fans. I think that you steamroll the Bengals by two scores. Enjoy!

[JustAColtsFan]

Bengals 24 Colts 17

Is it still reverse psychology if you admit it? 

[SilentHill]

Colts 0 Bengals 27

 

or was it the other way around?

[theanarchist]

I think we are going to see a much more motivated Bengal team this time around. I think that it's going to be close game. Being an optimistic Colts fan Im going to say 21-17 Colts. My fear is that the following scenario may play out: Colts come in overly confident due to their domination of the Bengals 2 months ago, come out flat and fall behind early. This could lead to throwing every down and forcing Andrew Luck into a couple of turnorvers. I would hope this will not happen.

[TrueColt!]

Yup. This goes way back to the Manning era. If we play at 1pm. We win. Period. I think it has something to do with energy or something. Not so much the personnel because this holds true with different teams and spans over a long period of time. A betting man has to have noticed this already.

This one didn't but I'm not hedging my bet either.

[Nesjan3]

someone earlier in the thread sayd It best, depends which teams show up. We were crushing teams early then after getting blasted by Pit and Ne we seem to have lost something. Cin is even more odd getting killed by bad teams and also killing good teams up and down all season. not sure

[runthepost]

Someone will win by 4

Yep, the fall behind early thing drives me nuts, and I have a feeling it happens once again. Colts are like a Rocky fight- get the hell knocked out of you for a couple rounds and then get those key important blows in later in the fight that ultimately win it...

[Bravo]

If the Colts actually decide to play like they can.

Colts 31-17

If not...

Bengals 28-10

Go Colts!!!!

  We have a lot of fun with those bets. 4 old Colts fans (163 combined yrs.) all throw a little money in the pot at the beginning of the season and have our own little game. We use the Vegas odds. After 10 yrs., nobody has lost more than $100.00 in the whole season. We then throw in a little more if we have to and lose it all on one bet in the playoffs. Maybe tomorrow we'll get lucky and lose it all! ;)

[Archangel]

well IMO

 

 Colts 42

Bengals 28

 

Then hope Ravens win

[Hammer]

Yep now we need the colts start a new season here leave the past behind

[basketballsteve]

Colts lead, then hang on at the end with one last critical stop, 24-21.
