Bears vs. Colts preview

Chicago at Indianapolis

Weather: Dome

Prognosis: A rematch of Super Bowl XLI pits two teams with a bunch of questions. Will Peyton Manning’s knee be OK? Who will Kyle Orton throw to? (When he’s not throwing to the other team) How much will the Colts miss Jeff Saturday? Is the Bears D back? Is Marvin Harrison back? Well we’ll know in about two hours. I believe the Colts are going to come back to the pack in the AFC South, maybe win 9 to 10 games. The Bears? I just can’t see Orton leading a team to the playoffs. Colts open their new stadium in style.

Score Colts 32, Bears 17

Stars Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Anthony Gonzalez, Joseph Addai, Devin Hester, Matt Forte
