Our Week 10 NFL Free Pick:
The Bengals looked like they were starting to figure things out offensively in the second half against Pittsburgh on Monday night. Unfortunately for their defense, they’ll be facing Peyton Manning on short rest and a short week of preparation. With Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph patrolling the outsides, the Bengals have the corners to limit the Colts’ passing game. But without a pass rush (which has been absent all season for Cincinnati), Manning will pick them apart.
Our pick is the Colts minus the points. The favorite is 6-1 against the spread in the last seven meetings between these two teams and the Bengals are just 1-4 ATS in the last five games against the Colts in Indianapolis.
