The Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals are set to square off on Thursday night in what will be each team's final NFL preseason game of 2012.

The contest is set to get underway at 7 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium. If you don't live in one of the local TV markets or can't get to a TV, you can watch a live stream online by clicking here.

The Colts have lost their last two exhibition games after winning their opener. They lost 30-17 to Washington last week.

Andrew Luck has played well in his short time in the pros. He went 14-23 for 151 yards and one touchdown against the Redskins.

The quarterback will likely only be on the field for a couple of plays, but there's a chance he could get some significant playing time. He played into the second quarter in the first game, when most starters are taken out before the first quarter ends.

A few Colts starters are expected to sit with injuries. Linebacker Robert Mathis, defensive end Cory Redding, cornerback Jerraud Powers, offensive lineman Mike McGlynn and running backs Delone Carter and Mewelde Moore will likely be sidelined.

The Bengals lost their first game of the preseason when they fell to the Packers 27-13 a week ago.

Andy Dalton is expected to play only the first offensive series, as well as the rest of the starters. Quarterback Zac Robinson will play most of the way.

First-round selection Dre Kirkpatrick may sit this one out. He hasn't played the entire preseason with a knee injury.

Prediction: The Colts aren't expected to compete for a playoff spot, so they might play some of their starters even longer than the Bengals regulars. Andrew Luck could throw a few touchdown passes to give the Colts the win.

Predicted Score: Indianapolis 23, Cincinnati 17
