The Cincinnati Bengals overachieved last season. Need proof? They are 2-6 so far this season with a team that only improved itself this off season. In Week 10, they head to Indianapolis to take on a Colts team that is not the same as it was last year either.

The Bengals have lost five straight games. It sounds horrendous until you dig a little deeper. In those five losses, the margin of victory for the opposition has yet to exceed eight points. It’s either a good sign that they have been able to hang with their competition or it is a bad sign that they are unable to deliver a death blow to their combatants.

Carson Palmer has the Cincinnati passing game ranked 6th in the NFL with an average of 250 yards per game. Chad Ochocinco has been little help to Palmer this season – it has been the Terrell Owens show – TO has outgained Chad by 300 yards and has scored five more touchdowns that Ocho! Ochocinco is a talent however, and chances are that he will get going at some point this season, helping the Bengals realize the potential of their potent passing offense.

Cedric Benson was the Comeback Player of the Year last season but has been unable to get going this season. The Cincinnati running game is ranked 22nd – a far cry from its output last season.

Cincinnati’s defense has also underachieved this season. They are ranked 17th against the pass (217.75 yards per game) and 23rd versus the run (120.75 yards per game). This unit has generated a whopping 7 sacks total in the eight games that they have played this year.

The Indianapolis Colts didn’t lose three game all of last season and here they sit 5-3 half way through the season. Once again, this team can be summed up by one word –  Manning! Peyton is having yet another Pro Bowl caliber season despite injuries to Dallas Clark, Austin Collie, Joseph Addai among others. Manning has the knack of finding new weapons and making them into instant Studs!

The passing game is ranked 2nd in the NFL (302.5 yards per game) and the running game is ranked 25th (92.25 yards per game). The Colts are scoring the 2nd most points in the NFL with a 27.13 average. Manning is once again controlling the game, is taking care of the ball (only 4 interceptions this season), he is passing for insane yardage (2478) and scores (16) in his eight games so far.

The Indy defense has been typically pedestrian – 7th against the pass and a miserable 29th versus the run (140.88 yards per game). When the Colts lose, it has been because of the rush defense that has given up an average of over 200 yards per game in their three losses.

Betting Prediction:

The Cincinnati Bengals are 0-5 SU in their last five games, are 1-7 SU in their last eight on the road and are 1-4 ATS in their last five games on the road. They are 0-5 SU in their last five games versus the Colts and are 1-5 ATS in their last six against the Colts.

The Indianapolis Colts are 19-6 SU in their last 25 games and are 18-2 SU in their last 20 at home. The Colts are 5-0 SU and ATS at home in their last five games against the Bengals and are 9-3 SU overall in the last 12 versus the Bengals.

The Indianapolis Colts are money at home and the Bengals have not only struggled overall but they have struggled on the road as well. Peyton Manning and the boys have not lost two straight games in what seems like a lifetime and I don’t think that it will happen on Sunday. All told, the Colts are the better team on defense and on offense. I like the Colts to control the clock, as per usual and get it done on home turf yet again. Seven points may seem a little rich but I am not worried about it in the least. The Colts win by 10.

Betting Pick: Indianapolis Colts -7

If Manning can somehow guide the Colts deep in the playoffs or maybe to another Super Bowl, I think you could make the strongest case yet to give him the MVP. With the injury situation so far this year, Peyton is literally the only reason the Colts win games.

I think Cincy would be in better stead if they fed the ball to Benson more often; despite the weapons, you get the increasing feeling that Carson Palmer is overrated.
