Will The Colts Go Undefeated This Year?

Looking at the Colts remaining schedule, a pretty good case could be made that they very well could go undefeated this year. Only two road games remain.

No. San Diego will beat them in Indy if they are even alive at that point.

i was kinda pondering that also,.......thinkin atleast to get the season record or sumptin,.........just kinda gets crazy how the media portrays stories like this,.....i mean from all the stuff i saw,...the experts(well so called experts in the media) really thought this was it for the colts,....didnt suprise me a bit they played well(covered),...i didnt play it of course,....... but anyhow,....yeah it will be intresting to see what the media does each week to get people off of them,........................hey with that said: great call on your early in the week IOWA call oldmanted!!!!

Yes they will. They have survived their toughest two games on the schedule. They will beat SD at home, as well as every other team on their home schedule. Only possible slips would be at Sea and at Jax.

At home, I'll take Indy over SD

Their hardest game left on their schedule by far is at Seattle !

I think they fall in Jville. Jville will play to Indy's level for that particular game.

Seattle will be hard, that is for sure.

Surely, they will not go undefeated. I'm not a Colts fan, but I believe it would be great if they did! I would enjoy seeing such a feat in my day. That is really bigger than winning a Super Bowl in many senses, though not all. tulsa

Wont go undefeated.
Pittsburgh could give them problems
San Diego will beat them outright. SD matches up really well with them and should've beat them in Indy last year.
Jacksonville always plays them tough. Jax held them to 10 at home this year and beat them in Indy last year.
Seattle should give them a game.

i was thinkin,...well yeah that dangerous,......but before the media gets thier chance to sway me,...i was thinking jacksonville might be thier toughest game left,..........but i tellya,......in a way i wish there was no money involved, as they really should have a chance to go un-defeated,......but somehow the money wagered aspect may very well get them a loss,.......of course on the brighter side of this,....lets say they do go undefeated in the regular season,.....it makes for great articles for weeks and they can still choke/not cover in the playoffs:lolBIG:

JAX is the toughest game...

at SEA could be very tough psychologically, the Colts may have everything clinched by then and Seattle may be playing for homefield.

Out of the rest of the opponents left I would have bet on Pittsburgh next week to beat them, but after Maddox's performance today against the Ravens, without Ben, Indy will roll over them. Cincy by far was the best offense Indy has played against this season, none of those teams left I see have a better offense then Cincy.

You can make a case for Seattle aka S.Alexander, but I cant really remember who they have starting at Wide Receivers. I know Indy has Wayne and Harrison. :lolBIG:

yeah, they play pitt nov.28th and before the media and us degenerates already give them this win,.........since pitt looks bad without thier starting qb,....is there anyway they kinda,...and i stress kinda get thier starter back in the rotation before anyone plays on that?,...you know what i mean,...with these nfl probable lists?,..is there any way ben is back or is he a no go for sure?? as i just dont think the force will be with tommy boy

From NFL.COM

16 teams have started 10-0, the last being the Denver Broncos in 1998. Of the 16, five lost the 11th game of the season. The 1985 Chicago Bears started 12-0 before losing to the Miami Dolphins in week 13 on Monday night football.

Colts covering 6 of last 7

5 straight have went over

I wish someone would go undefeated. I'm tired of Nick Buonocoti and the boys breaking out the champagne every year!

Its true
Still waiting to pop the corks
This was in the note section of pro football weekly
In one of the sweetest traditions in sports lore, each season on opening day, each surviving member of the 1972 Miami Dolphins—the sole NFL team to complete a perfect season—sets aside a bottle of champagne to cool. The cork is loosened when the last remaining undefeated team loses, ensuring the record is safe for another year. And it’s genuine champagne, not the blueberry-almond sparkling-style chlorine-infused beverage-type substance passing for bubbly these days.

I hope the Colts make it too....after all they are still Baltimore's real team.

Seriously though, I don't think there is a more intelligent player in football than Peyton Manning.

And a class act like Tony Dungy deserves it to, he should of got the Minnesota coaching job years ago and then he was fired in Tampa Bay
after turning that losing franchise around.
