Speaking of perfect teams thus far, the Saints’ mirror-images in Indy have silently won their last 16 regular-season games dating back to last season. Of course, this year’s competition has been right up there with the Big 10’s non-conference schedule — the 4-3 Cardinals are the only winning team to face Peyton Manning.
Indianapolis Colts (7-0)It’s all so crystal clear now, right? Two undefeated teams remaining, and nice and neatly, one from each conference. It’s going to be the Colts-Saints in Miami in early February. Thanks for playing, but we have our winners. Please drive home safely. Then I remember that last year at this time, the Super Bowl matchup was equally clear: The 7-0 Titans were destined to play the 6-1 Giants. Case closed. Only thing is, neither one wound up actually winning a playoff game. Year before it was Patriots-Cowboys, and that turned out being only half right. Get my point? Things can change in the league known as (N)ot (F)or (L)ong.
