With these Colts vs Bengals odds and picks for the preseason Week 3 matchup, I'm fading the Bengals.
Cincinnati's depth has been awful so far this preseason and that'll cost them against the Colts. I'm taking Indy -3.

Colts vs Bengals Odds & Picks
Colts -3 (-115)
The Bengals have looked pretty sloppy in the preseason so far.
Aside from Joe Burrow's brief debut in Week 1 of the preseason, Bengals QBs have a completion rate under 60% and a 1:3 touchdown to interception ratio. The rushing has been meh too, with Cinci RBs averaging 3.11 yards per carry compared to their opponents' 4.04.
The Colts, on the other hand, have had pretty efficient QB play from Joe Flacco, Sam Ehlinger, Kedon Slovis and Jason Bean. They're also averaging 3.83 yards per carry (.21 more than they allow against).
Even if Burrow plays a few more snaps in this one, the Bengals' depth has been weak so far this preseason and that will kill them.
Dating back to the last two weeks of last year's preseason, the Colts have covered a -3 spread in three of their last four preseason games. I think they can do it again this week.
