We will select from the NBC Sunday Night football game here for our message board visitors. Jay Cutler will make his debut at quarterback for the Chicago Bears against the Green Bay Packers. Game time is at 8:20PM Eastern Time and you can catch it on NBC. With our free pick for Sunday Night football we will play the Chicago Bears +5 ½ against the Green Bay Packers. During the preseason teams running games are often disguised. First and second team running backs may see few carries and may be running behind second-string offensive lines. Teams don’t emphasize the run much as offensive coordinators put more emphasis on quarterback chemistry with receivers and how well their offensive line can protect the quarterback. But when they play for real the running game is an awfully important aspect of the game and the Bears have 1238 yard rusher from a year ago Matt Forte who gives the Bears solid running behind Jay Cutler. Forte is a huge threat in the passing game as well as he had 477 receiving yards and averaged 7 yards after the catch with 4 touchdowns. Green Bay has to show me they have fixed their run defense because the Packers gave up 131 rushing yards in 2008. The Bears finally have a quarterback who can go vertical and the fortune to have a running back that defenses will respect in play action as well as coming off blocking assignments and into screens. The Bears can do a lot on offense and I like them tonight.

Bet Chicago Bears +5.5
