I agree. A few on here or old Bengals site never consider the road game 12th man on D factor. Plus this will be Colts home opener and Fans will be fired up over that and Luck back. I'm sure they have hopes of winning AFC South, and they could if Luck is really back and Hilton and others may catch a lot more passes again, especially Colts TE's. Their D gave us trouble last year dominating our O Line.
I would be happy with a 3 point win as you predicted and hopefully no major injuries with Ravens game coming.
Bengals running game is not yet ready
Bengals run defense is suspect
Bengals can't cover the pass in the middle
I think the offense comes out strong to begin with and fades as it stays one dimensional
Defense is stout at first, but is on the field too long because the offense can't convert.
We end up losing 23-17
Bengals 37
Colts 10
Luck sacked 5 times, Dalton not touched.
Touchdowns for Eifert, Mixon, Green, Ross
This is going to be one of the biggest opening day defeats the Colts will ever experience in Lucas Oil Stadium. I’m thinking 26-3 in favor of the Bengals.
Bengals 21 Colts 20
Mostly a defensive game. Bengals have good D and Colts D got after our O Line last season. Can Bengals Block. Can Bengals Run. Can Colts run. Is Luck rusty and really back. I see upsides to defenses, plus defenses are ahead of offenses start of season. Could look like a preseason game of mistakes like Eagles vs Falcons. Still, I think Dalton and Luck aren't going to have a 10 to 7 game. So I'll predict around 20 points each with Bengals coming out on top just because I want Bengals to win. GO BENGALS.
Bengals - 34
Colts - 23
Takes a bit for our O-line to get the running game going but they pass protect well enough early to take a lead.
Luck gets pounded into the dirt once we start to stop the run. We get a turnover and turn it into a TD.
Running game gets going in the 2nd half and we pull away. Just had to expound.
In their last four opening days the Colts have zero wins. Let's make em 0 fer 5
I predict 0-0 at the start of the game
My gut says this is going to be similar to that Raiders opener a few years ago. We're going to come out and kick ass.
I'll go with 31-13 on this one.

Haha, I'll bet you $100 I can tell you the score of the game before it starts.

Andrew is an elite player and I think He's the 3rd best QB besides Aaron Rodgers and Brady in the game. While I think the Bengals will have a great season and are the better team. However Luck will do something special and regain his form and pull off the upset.
the colts are favored....
so if they win it's not an upset....
but they won't win....
Bengals 27-21

Since it's Andrew Luck the league has decided to spot the colts 20 points. It's already 20-0..
Now wouldn't that suck if they actually did that? I think I'd just quit paying attention to football and sports in general if they did..
