The Indianapolis Colts will be looking to pick up another easy SU and ATS victory over the Cincinnati Bengals when the two teams meet in Wild Card Weekend betting action at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.
The Colts blanked the Bengals in their regular-season meeting back on October 19, winning that game 27-0 as a 3-point home favorite on the NFL odds in an UNDER result. But both of these teams have been Wild Card losers in recent years with the Bengals losing four in a row and the Colts losing three straight.
The line opened at -4 for Indy per Sportsbook while the total was hovering around 49 as the highest OU of the week so far. Overall, Cincy has lost six straight playoff games while they have lost 8 of 10 SU against the Colts.
Indianapolis won the AFC South at 11-5 SU on the season, while Cincinnati had to settle for a Wild Card berth and a road playoff date with their Week 17 loss to the Steelers.
