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. 

Yes, they might have a good Defense this year and it could be ahead of our Offense early which happens a lot in openers.
