Colts 19-0 ?

kermit16 · Dec 8, 2005

Odds now have gone done to + 375 for a 19-0 record. I'm not too excited about that wager now as some of their 3 biggest tests still lie ahead in Jags, Chargers and Seahawks ! Any opinions ?

IMO, no one has even been in the game with them the past couple months. Some scores were close (even vs Houston), but in reality, the game was never in doubt. Like my buddy says, they're playing perfect football. Apart from some defence concerns, I can't argue with that. I like their chances against SD and Seattle right now. Only thing is, can't be sure Dungy will play his A line up in the last couple weeks.

I like that bet.

But the Colts have disappointed me in the playoffs many times before...

IMO Colts are the BEST at this time of the year. If and when they have to hit the road outside in BAD weather they might lose. Seattle looms LARGE at this time. But then again whos to say that "either" team will play the best players as that game might not mean anything.

This Colt team has Never disappointed anyone ! I am really not sure why people judge teams by what they have done in the past ? Texas had never beaten Okl in a long while either. Colts hadn't beaten Patriots either. Kansas hadn't beaten nebraska in years either but they beat them like 40-15. Moral of story ? Pay attention to what's happening with this years team ! This is a new team and they can play defense !

Hey, have some d caf, the colts are my favorite team. And when i say i have concerns about their D, i'm still dwelling on the recent Bengals game where they gave up, i think, 37. Homefield advantage will be huge for them this year in the playoffs, but really, it's the same O that tore up the league last year - no major changes from the lineup that was suddenly ineffective in NE, again. i like the regular season bet for undefeated, but i'm cautiously optimistic about the playoff portion of that bet.

You're right. But their O was unstoppable. The Cincy game scared me about their D

Every team has an off game as I think I remember Patriots losing last year
34-20 to Steelers. However Colts have one of the best defenses in the league this year so I would not let the Bengal game worry me. Bengals score on everyone ! GL to you also and I have switched to tea as per your advice ! :lolBIG: :toast:

Bigbet - I saw the Bengals game, and the Colts were ahead the whole game. Not saying they will go undefeated, but I think SD will give them their best game.

As a Colts fan, I'm pretty nervous about the next three matchups. Jax plays the Colts tough, and both SD and Seattle will be tough opponents. We've talked ad nauseum about Indy's fairly weak schedule so far, but it's not a point to be taken lightly.

Also, I have a hard time imagining Indy playing full-throttle against Arizona in week 17. Of course, they could play half-assed and still beat Zona, but right now I'd wager that 'no' they will not go undefeated this season.
