My prediction...

Bengals - 31
Colts - 23

We start a little slow but get it going on Offense in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and pull away. The score looks closer than it actually is.

So now we know who Patriots QB will be.  They are holding out The Rookie.  Either he is not ready, or they don't want him to get injured due to Blocking not up to speed start of season.  Bengals have Hendrickson and Hubbard, so they have good reason to not want the rookie trying to deal with them on the road. 

I look for Patriots to still have a tough Defense, they can almost always play Defense.  On Offense however,  I don't see Patriots brand new Head Coach having everybody on the New Playbook on Day One.  This is why I like Bengals chances, and at Home in THE JUNGLE.   Bengals may look a little rusty Day One, and all NFL Teams may look rusty Week One.  It may even come down to McPherson kicking Field Goals, but Bengals should beat this brand new Head Coach coming into THE JUNGLE on Opening Day.  Cincinnati Fans go home celebrating after a WIN.
