There is no need for you to adjust your television set when the Denver Broncos who are a two and one-half(-2.5) favorite with an over / under total of thirty-eight(38) at Bookmaker.com host the Chicago Bears in this weeks Sunday Night NFL Football Game on NBC. Sure you may think you are seeing things as Kyle Orton will be the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos and Jay Cutler will be the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears, but you are not. Chicago heads into Denver on Sunday night in a preseason game that probably don’t mean much to them as a team in the long run, but would mean so much in helping them become a team in the short run. Let me explain.

The Chicago Bears and the Denver Broncos switched quarterbacks during the off season and it did not take long for them to get to face their old team though it will just be a preseason game. The difference here is Jay Cutler was the official starting quarterback for the Broncos when he was run out of town as a new head coach was hired for Denver this year. Kyle Orton on the other hand was the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears off and on during his tenure there, and his move to Denver I consider to be more of a step up in his career as he is now a starting QB then I do when thinking how Jay Cutler was treated when he was let go by the Broncos.

The bottom line here is Jay Cutler wants to win this game like a guy in the hospital needs blood! Jay Cutler was run out of Denver like he stole something during the off season and you know he wants to have a big game to send a message to the Denver Broncos organization that letting him go was a huge mistake. I look for Jay Cutler to step up to the plate on Sunday night with a solid game and I expect his new Chicago Bear teammates to have his back while playing extra hard looking to get the win we all know Jay Cutler wants so very very very bad against his old team.
