Expert Prediction and Betting Pick

I’m going to get right to the point by saying that I like the Cincinnati Bengals to pick up the easy SU win and ATS cover as A.J. McCarron outplays Indy counterpart Stephen Morris. Not only has McCarron looked mostly exceptional this preseason, but the favorite in this AFC series is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.

My Pick: Cincinnati 31 Indianapolis 24
