Gridiron Player Club NFL 1-2 Units (8/22/24)

NFL

1 Pick.

8:00PM EST: Colts -6.5 (2 Units).

Indianapolis's starters expected to see extended time in this game while the Bengals rest theirs. The extended time for starters will leave less snaps for Colts backups. Their 2nd and 3rd string still need quality reps to get ready for the season. Good QB depth with Joe Flacco and Sam Ehlinger. Rookies Kedon Slovis and Jason Bean have both played well too, posting 90.1 and 97.9 QBR ratings. Cincinnati lost 3-27 to the Bears in a similar position last week. Without backup QB Jake Browning the Bengals are left with practice squad quarterbacks at best. QB Logan Woodside threw a couple interceptions last week and Rocky Lombardi went 4/8 for 33 yards. The Joe Burrowless Bengals offense has scored 10 points in 7.5 quarters of football this pre-season.
