It has been a long time since Andrew Luck has played a regular season game for the Colts, but he will start in the opener. He may be under pressure often as the Colts allowed 56 sacks last year. While they may have addressed issues up front, it is going to take time to see if the line can gel, and that won't be in Game 1. The Colts offense ranked #31 in total yards last season. The Colts defense was also a mess, and this team has tried to fill some holes, but remains below average. Cincinnati maintained stability, Coach Marvin Lewis is back, as is Andy Dalton and Green. The offense has potential, and it seemed as if it never recovered from an 0-2 start in which they failed to find the end-zone. I think this team is far ahead of where the Colts are at this point, so play Cincinnati on the moneyline.
