Bears - Colts Preview
About 24 hours to the regular season kickoff! Are you ready for some football?!?
Q&A
Will Peyton Manning start for the Colts? Of course he will. But will he finish, that is the question? Go Defense!
Will Matt Forte rush for 100 yards? The Bears will want him to, but I think the Colts hold him to 88 on the ground. Running game will be responsible for about 120 yards overall.
What's going to be the Orton TD to Interception ratio? Even. 2 TD, 2 Picks.
Will Devin Hester score a TD on Special Teams? No. The Colts are too afraid to kick to him while the score matters. But we will get 6 points from this unit that aren't Robbie Gould related.
Well, then how about a reception TD for "Anytime"? Yes. Devin will pull down an Orton pass for a 15-25 yd TD.
Can the defense stop Indianapolis RB Joseph Addai? No. At least not at first. Addai will land in the 130-140 range, with a lot of early running and one score. He'll lose some steam in the second half, as I believe the Colts will be counting on him too much.
Can the defense stop Peyton Manning? Yes. Manning finishes with 250 or less passing yards (for Manning, that's considered stopping him).
Do the Bears win? Call it a moral victory -- Colts 27 - Bears 24.
