They'll win if they lose. They'll lose if they win.
Nonsense, you say? Maybe so, but try untwisting the logic behind my cryptic forecast before you make up your mind.
If the Colts lose one of their last three games, the pressure of being perfect will be lifted and they'll be able to focus on one prize instead of two - the real prize - a Superbowl championship.
Going 16-0 will create an enormous and unprecedented amount of pressure on them heading into the playoffs. Obvious, yes, but beware.......this will not be your father's 1972 Dolphins media crush. What we're looking at here is a 21st-Century--24/7--high-speed--hi-def--on-demand- -broad-band--shock-and-awe--mega--giga--paparazzi- -blood-fest.
And a well-earned bye week will only compound the pressure. Even barricading themselves in the RCA dome for two weeks will not be enough to stem the tsunami-like tide of hype and pressure that will come with perfection.
Winning the Superbowl takes the ultimate survivor. The Colts would not survive perfection - no team could in this day and age.
That logic makes no sense. I realize that the pressure will mount and build up like a kinked water-hose, but that would be on me or you. These guys are pro's. They know what they have to do, and they will do it.
