Undefeated Super Bowl XLIV: Colts vs. Saints

Two teams are still undefeated in the NFL going into Week 12. The Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. Each team still has six games to win before they start the playoffs, but looking at their schedules I’m not seeing a tough road ahead if they both keep playing like they have been.
I was imagining this weekend what it would be like for the Saints and the Colts to end up facing each other in Super Bowl XLIV with their undefeated seasons still in tact. Can you imagine?
Here’s the remaining schedules for both teams:
- 11/29 – Houston Texans
- 12/06 – Tennessee Titans
- 12/13 – Denver Broncos
- 12/17 – Jacksonville Jaguars
- 12/27 – New York Jets
- 01/03 – Buffalo Bills
- 11/30 – New England Patriots
- 12/06 – Washington Redskins
- 12/13 – Atlanta Falcons
- 12/19 – Dallas Cowboys
- 12/27 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- 01/03 – Carolina Panthers
New Orleans may have to fight hard against the Patriots, and Indianapolis has three divisional games against teams that always seem to play us well when they need to in the end.
Then both teams would have to maintain their winning records through the playoffs of course, but can you imagine if it happened?
It’d be great, but what are the odds of both of them winning their last six games, plus both playoff games (they’d get first-round byes, obviously)? It’s near impossible for one team to go undefeated, let alone two. It’s hard to stay hot for that long. It’d be a great Super Bowl, but it’s highly unlikely. Sad.
What are the odds of this happening? I want to lay down $100 on it if the payoff is worth the risk.
