5 minIndianapolis Colts vs. Cincinnati Bengals Prediction: Can Jake Browning, Bengals Cover?
The Cincinnati Bengals are facing off against a red-hot Indianapolis Colts team who has won four games in a row. The Bengals are coming off a fantastic upset overtime victory versus the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football.
The Jaguars have man-handled the Colts this season, and seeing the Bengals beat them on Monday, shows me that they can beat Indianapolis. I believe the Bengals are in a prime spot here to cover for us and cash this play.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Cincinnati Bengals Prediction
The Colts are getting a point and a half from the Jake Browning led Bengals in Cincinnati. The Bengals are coming off of a huge win versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have beat the Colts twice this season comfortably.
Jake Browning's performance on Monday Night Football, especially over a high-powered Jaguars squad, was nothing short of impressive. And let's also not forget, it took the Colts two blocked punts and a missed extra point to narrowly escape with a win over the Tennessee Titans last week.
Now, they're hitting the road to face a Bengals team that boasts a much more superior roster, although they are without star quarterback Joe Burrow. If Browning can deliver even 80 percent of what he showcased on Monday night, I believe the Bengals should comfortably win this game over a Colts squad missing their starting rookie quarterback, and recently released Shaquille Leonard.
Here's something else to consider, when Joe Burrow got injured, most people though the Bengals were done for. But, if you have looked at the standings recently, the Bengals are still close in the playoff contention. The Bengals are right in the thick of it, and if they pulled off a win against the Colts today, it would really boost their chances of making a wild card game.
This matchup for the Bengals is a prime spot. The fact the Colts who are on a four game winning streak are underdogs here speaks volumes, even as a Colts fan, I believe the Bengals will cover the one and a half point spread at home today.
