There are not going to be many people that want anything to do with the Colts in sport betting on Thursday night after what happened to them last week.



Last week was shameful as they permitted 59 points to Green Bay, and the Colts do not win much in the preseason anyhow. Placing an Football bet on the Colts in the preseason has been a fast way to lose cash.

Just considering the Colts are so horrible in the preseason, Football wagering figures will likely like the Bengals in this game. But this is not really new. It seems the Colts lose all the time in the preseason but in the regular season they turn it on and do just fine.

Bengals Backups versus Colts Backups: This is the fifth preseason competition for the Bengals when betting football due to the fact they played in the Hall of Fame Game and it is the 4th preseason competition for the Colts. Neither team is likely to use their starters much time, if at all. The competition is all about the backups. When it comes to backup competitors the Colts are simply not quite great. Backup quarterback Curtis Painter has been dreadful in the preseason and he will probably get most 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 much better than Painter. If the Colts were playing Peyton Manning and the starters then they would be worth a look but lacking the starters, the Colts are simply a bad football team.

Anyone Motivated: Is there any enthusiasm for either of these squads? The Cincinnati Bengals have played four matches by now. They have nothing to prove so they only want to get out of this game and go home. The Colts backups probably do have some motivation to play better but after last week’s disaster, gamblers are not going to want to take them. The value in this match is on the Colts but do you actually want to make a Football bet at online sports books on a Colts team that is 9-23 in the preseason since 2004?
