The Bengals enter the contest at 1-2, having been out-scored by 13 points in their three preseason games. The Colts enter at 1-2 as well having been out-scored by 15 points in their third game. This is the finale after the so-called dress rehearsal, and starters will likely not play more than one series, if at all, on either side of the ball. More often than not, this game is used to get one last look at fringe players that may make the roster, but the biggest goal is to avoid injuries as much as possible. The best way to do that is to shorten the game, and keep the clock moving, but also to finish the game with players that will likely not make the roster, if those decisions have been mostly made at that point. Not a lot of opportunity for scoring here, to play the UNDER.
