After what occurred to them last week, there are not going to be many folks that want anything to do with the Colts in sport betting on Thursday night. 
The Colts do not win much in the preseason anyway but last week was humiliating as they gave up 59 points to Green Bay. Making an NFL bet on the Colts in the preseason has been a quick way to lose money.
Simply because the Colts are so horrible in the preseason, NFL gambling statistics will likely like the Bengals in this competition. And this is not new. It seems the Colts lose all the time in the preseason though in the regular season they turn it on and do just great.
Bengals Backups vs Colts Backups: This is the fifth preseason competition for the Bengals when betting football since they played in the Hall of Fame Game and it is the 4th preseason competition for the Colts. Neither team is planning to play their starters long, if at all. The competition is all about the backups. When it comes to backup participants the Colts are simply not quite great. Backup quarterback Curtis Painter has been dreadful in the preseason and he will most likely get the majority of the snaps on Thursday. Last week he was six of eleven with an interception. His quarterback rating was 46.4. At least the Bengals have a quality backup to Carson Palmer as JT O’Sullivan has played well. Even 3rd string quarterback Jordan Palmer is a lot better than Painter. If the Colts were playing Peyton Manning and the starters then they would be worth a look but without the starters, the Colts are simply a bad football team.
Anyone Enthusiastic: Will there be any enthusiasm for either of these teams? The Cincinnati Bengals have performed four games by now. They just want to get out of this competition and go home since they’ve got nothing to prove. The Colts backups most likely do have some motivation to play better but after last week’s catastrophe, bettors are not going to want to take them. The value in this match is on the Colts though do you really want to place a NFL bet at online sports books on a Colts team that is 9-23 in the preseason since 2004?
