PinnacleSports.com posts Colt's winning streak odds

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao – (PRESS RELEASE) -- After beating New England Sunday night, the Indianapolis Colts remain the only undefeated team in the NFL at the season's midpoint. Now that Peyton Manning and the Colts have beaten their nemesis, talk of Indianapolis challenging the 1972 Dolphins as the only team to finish the regular season unbeaten has gathered pace. With the Colts inching closer to making history, PinnacleSports.com today announced updated odds on Indianapolis finishing undefeated as well as odds on when the team will suffer its first loss, if at all.

The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com originally opened odds on the Colts finishing a perfect 16-0 at odds of 20/1 and becoming the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to finish with an unblemished regular season record. Now that Indianapolis has survived difficult road games against the Broncos and Patriots, the odds on Manning and the Colts finishing with a perfect season stands at just 6/1. The odds that Indy will simply be another team unable to match the record-holding Dolphins stand as a 1/7 favorite.

In addition to posting odds on the Colts going undefeated in the regular season, PinnacleSports.com has calculated odds on which of Indy's remaining eight games will see the team's first loss. The oddsmakers currently list the Colts' trip to Dallas on November 19 as a 2/1 favorite to become Indianapolis' first regular season loss. Other teams most likely to deal the Colts their first loss in 2006 include Philadelphia (6/1), Buffalo (5/1) and Jacksonville (7/1).

"While no NFL team has finished with an undefeated season in 34 years, the Colts have already overcome their major roadblocks en route to finishing a perfect 16-0 this year. Indianapolis has survived trips to Denver and New England and faces only one team in their final eight games that currently owns a better than .500 record (Jacksonville)," said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "With their remaining opponents holding a combined 26-38 record, Indianapolis going undefeated at 6/1 represents unprecedented value to bettors. Of course, things could get very interesting on the season's final day if the disappointing Dolphins are the final obstacle standing in the way of the Colts matching Miami's perfect, 1972 season."
