The Indianapolis Colts are asked to cover a big number here against the Cincinnati Bengals, but I think they'll be well up for the task.

The Bengals took a tough 27-3 beatdown by the hands of Baltimore last week and might find it tough to recharge the batteries and regroup. They managed just 205 yards of total offense, and here they'll face a Colts a defense that is holding opponents to an NFL-best 266 yards per game.

The Colts came out flat in a loss at Cleveland last week, their first setback since dropping the season opener at Jacksonville. In their two home games, they've steamrolled Minnesota 28-11 and the New York Jets 36-7. I expect another blowout win home at Lucas Oil Stadium this Sunday.

8* play on Indianapolis Colts.
