Las Vegas, Nevada (November 18, 2009) - exclusive from Pregame.com:
How many remaining games will the teams be favored?
Colts: projected to be favored in EVERY GAME!
Saints: projected to be favored in EVERY GAME!
Odds of going undefeated:
Colts: 11 to 1 against (8% chance)
Saints: 11 to 1 against (8% chance)
It's noteworthy that most people tend to guess that the chances are much greater.
Amazingly, both team's odds are nearly identical - creating an interesting question for discussion: "Which team, Saints or Colts, do you think has the better chance of going undefeated?"
Odds of AT LEAST ONE of the teams going undefeated?
5.5 to 1 against (15% chance)
Odds of BOTH teams going undefeated?
150-1 against
