Is it Time to Make the Colts our Super Bowl Pick?

The New Orleans Saints are hot NFL picks this season as one of two undefeated teams left in the NFL. It’s no wonder they’re so popular – their offense is as exciting as any in football and they’re even playing inspired defense. In other words, they’re a very “loud” undefeated.
Has there ever been a quieter 7-0 team than this year’s Indianapolis Colts, though? They’ve won 16 straight regular-season games including last season, they’ve looked untouchable this season yet no one’s talking about them. Why?
One possible reason is that their schedule hasn’t been too tough; St. Louis, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Arizona, and so on – not exactly terrifying. The Saints, on the other hand, have beaten Philadelphia and the Giants. Not bad.
People also may not be leaping onto the Indy Super Bowl futures bandwagon because the Colts still aren’t a perfect team. They struggle a bit against the run and they haven’t run the ball too well themselves.
In the end, Northbet.com wagering Week 10 will tell us how we should really feel against Indy. The Colts take on the Patriots in what should be one of the most anticipated games of the season. We know Indy will probably score plenty of points in that matchup but the real question is whether or not Indy can stop Tom Brady and the Pats.
If the Colts leave Week 10 with a 9-0 record, they’ll be a “quiet” undefeated team no more.
