It is interesting because Cutler is "going home" to the team that didn't want him.
Would have been better if Orton was still there though.

Be interesting if McDanials was still there, maybe. He's the one that had the problem. But he's gone, the Broncos suck, and after the all my children storyline that MNF will pump out like a Favre fairytale, it's going to be a crappy football game.

You can't really tell though. Last year if you looked ahead at your schedule and saw Kansas City and Chicago on it, then that was 2 games you should win. If you saw MN, then its a game you should lose ..... it was just the opposite, the NFL changes alot year to year.

Ding ding ding. I said "interesting" not "competitive." It will be interesting to see their reaction to Cutler as we smoke them in their home field.
-
my initial reaction is this:
Strong likelihood of a win: Panthers, Broncos, v. Vikings, @ Vikings (4 wins from this group)
Reasonable likelihood of a win: Raiders, Seahawks, Buccaneers, v. Lions (figure 3 wins from this group)
Toss up: Falcons, Chiefs, Eagles, v. Packers, @ Lions (figure 2 wins from this group)
Reasonable likelihood of a loss: Chargers, @ Packers (figure 1 win from this group)
Strong likelihood of a loss: Saints (0 wins from this group)
I'd predict 10-6 just glancing at it

Glad to see we are playing Atlanta and Seattle at home since both are tough venues. KC as well since Arrowhead is rocking again with the resurrection of the Chiefs.
-
I hope the Broncos keep Orton just so there is so much drama during this game next year. The Denver fans want Orton gone, so I'm not sure if he'll be there next year or not (not sure if his contract is up).
