PinnacleSports.com Post Colts' Undefeated Odds

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Now that Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts have gotten the monkey off their back by beating Tom Brady's New England Patriots, talk of the Colts becoming the first team to finish a 16-game regular season undefeated has become more serious. On sports shows across the nation, football analysts and reporters have dissected the remainder of Indianapolis' schedule to find potential pitfalls on the way to emulating the 1972 Dolphins' perfect season. With Indianapolis halfway to an unblemished regular season record, PinnacleSports.com today announced updated odds on the Colts finishing with an undefeated record this year.

The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com originally opened betting on the Colts going undefeated this season following the team's win in week six against St. Louis on October 17. Immediately following that game, PinnacleSports.com listed the odds on Indy finishing a perfect 16-0 as a 10/1 long shot. Since then, 80 percent of all bets have backed the Colts going undefeated and, having beaten their nemesis in New England, the odds have been cut by more than half to 9/2 that Indianapolis will become the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to finish with an unblemished regular season record. The odds that Indy will lose at least one game this season have also been slashed from 1/12 at opening to currently standing at 1/5.

"The parity in the NFL makes it almost impossible for any team to go undefeated in a 16-game regular season, but experts and bettors appear to believe this Colts team has the best chance since the 1998 Denver Broncos began the season 13-0," said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "Despite Indianapolis having five games versus teams vying for playoff spots on the remainder of their schedule, an overwhelming majority of our bettors have gone against the historical trend and backed a perfect Colts season."
