Result:
LOSS

The Colts historically did not fare well in the preseason under former coach Tony Dungy. New head coach Jim Caldwell won't likely do anything different, but there's reasons to like the Colts here. Rookie QB Curtis Painter that has thrown for 60% completions and 338 yards so far. If he plays like that here, this Colts offense can score, even with Manning watching from the sidelines. The Bengals may have Carson Palmer after missing two games, but JT O'Sullivan and Jordan Palmer (Carson's brother) will take most of the snaps and Painter has outplayed them both. Marvin Lewis has never been one for winning here as he has a losing record as Bengals coach in the preseason. I like getting more than a FG in these games and will back the Colts here.
