NFL opening week, pt. 1

Just based on the games I saw:

1. Bengals @ Ravens
   Baltimore: bad offense, good defense, dumb penalties (So much for a culture change). Pass rush needs to improve–for all the pressure they brought, I think they ended up with one sack. Still, it’s a win.
   Cincy: bad defense, bad offense, bad luck.
2. Chiefs @ Patriots
   Well, there goes the season, Pats fans.
3. Bears @ Colts (in progress)
   Is Kyle friggin’ Orton screwing up my teaser? Or maybe I should blame Indy’s defensive coordinator, who’s spreading his linemen across several zip codes despite da Bears running wild.
   Update: Hey, Mike Hart! I kind of hope he can stick around–even though he played for Michigan.

Theory in need of research: Offenses take a lot longer to get synced up than defenses, especially with so many teams resting starters during the preseason. Betting the under seems to be a good idea in early weeks.
