I successfully played against the Bears in their Week 1 loss at Buffalo. This should be a good spot to play on them though. For starters, they’re now at home, playing their preseason home opener. They’re also catching the Giants playing on a short week, as New York played vs. Carolina on Monday night. Additionally, with Cutler and co. anxious to improve on their Week 1 performance, we should get a highly motivated performance from the players.

Cutler, in particular, should be anxious to play well. After a sub-par outing in his Chicago debut, he was quoted as saying: “I feel fine. There’s no reason for anybody to start to panic or anything like that…”

The Giants, on the other hand, have little to prove. They’re two years off a World Championship and they won the division again last season. Additionally, they already won their preseason home opener. In other words, they shouldn’t be feeling any pressure to come up with a win here.

With the Giants having lost three straight preseason road games, consider a play on Chicago
