INDIANAPOLIS -9.5 Chicago

Peyton Manning practices fully and we expect him to be 100 percent. It’s not like he played a ton in previous preseasons, so rust is not a large worry. How has it affected the Horses? The past three years, the Colts have started 7-0, 9-0 and 13-0. They’ve won 12 straight games in September—their last September loss was in the ’04 season opener at New England—and 21 straight in September/October.

During the September/October 21-game winning streak, the Colts have averaged 29.4 points per game. They’ve turned the ball over only 17 times. The opposition: 15.8 points per game, 43 turnovers. With a new stadium opening up and on national television, the Colts will get another reason to make a statement.

Speaking of streaks, the Colts have won nine straight home games against NFC opposition. Generally, they’ve been showcases for the Peyton Manning-led offense.

During that nine-game stretch, Manning has compiled a 129.4 passer rating by completing 72.5 percent of his passes with 26 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

Kyle Orton gets the start for Chicago behind center. All we have to ask is how bad is a guy who sat behind Rex Grossman?

Tommy Harris is banged up on defense for the Bears. Sorry Bears fans, but the Colts are a much better team and the Bears just don’t have the firepower.
