In a battle between two of the flashiest offenses in football, it might be an old school bruiser that determines the winner but still, it's Carson Palmer and his band of merry wideouts that garner most of the glory in southwestern Ohio. But that could all change Monday night when the Bengals travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts.
If you have eyes, ears, or just one of the two, you'll know the Colts have had a wee bit of a problem stopping the run in recent weeks. All told, the Indy run D is surrendering 176.5 yards per game and 5.4 yards per carry.

vs Indianapolis Colts -3.5
On Monday night, it might well be a case of "choose your poison" for the defenders wearing horseshoes on their helmets. If they choose to keep an extra body in the box to deal with the run, the secondary could be in even bigger trouble against one of the best receiving trios in the league.
If not, Rudi Johnson could be in for a busy day. And that's a good thing for his team. The Bengals are 17-0 when he gets at least 25 carries. Testament to his workload, Rudi Johnson has 276 rushing attempts on the season. The entire Bengal receiving corps has 272 catches. The bruising tailback out of Auburn earns his money doing the dirty work on the football field. He runs inside, punishes defenders and gains ground a couple yards at a time.
The rest of the Cincinnati playmakers, like receivers Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chris Henry, prefer the occasional big score to the frequent pounding. Testament to his workload, Rudi Johnson has 276 rushing attempts on the season. The entire Bengal receiving corps has 272 catches.
