The Colts are again scoring. Through eight games they have averaged 27.1 points per game (29 per game at home). That spells a lot of trouble for a Bengals defense that has allowed 26.7 points per game away from home this season (29.3 over their last three). The Bengals started the season holding their first two opponents to 17 points. But, since then they have not kept a single opponent under 22. The one really good offense they have faced (Atlanta) torched them for 39. This will be the best offense they have faced. The Colts defense has been up and down but they have shown that they can give up points as they allowed 31 to Jacksonville, 24 to Washington and 26 to Philadelphia last week. The Bengals are racking up over 400 yards of offense per game on the road this season so they will get some. Peyton Manning put the ball up 62 times last game and the Colts are 10-2 OVER in their last twelve after a game with 50+ attempts. I like this game to go OVER the total.
