Bern Baby Bern! (Thank you John Sterling)

To start, the regular season doesn't matter for measuring a team if they don't win a championship. How we look at a team historically is measured by what you do in the playoffs. As great as the 2007 Pats were - they are not the greatest team ever, or really anything close.

Of course Dave, two 18-0 teams in the Super Bowl would be good for the NFL. Did you read that in Sports Marketing for Dummies? Question is will either of these teams actually do it?

I say no chance for the Colts. They are the San Antonio Spurs of the NFL. They will likely go on cruise control soon and even with Bob Sanders back, their defense is SUSPECT. Also, last week showed that when the Colts offense sputters and settles for FGs, they end up leaving even a marginal team like the 49ers in a game because their defense isn't going to shut anyone out.

The Saints actually have a very good shot to finish the regular season undefeated. Their remaining schedule is the EASIEST in the NFL. Other than Atlanta on the road, the rest of their schedule is very favorable. I really don't see this team losing at home all year, even with the Patriots and Cowboys coming to town. Plus, the Saints have shown they are better than both those teams with a revamped defense from Gregg Williams (I hate you Dan Snyder). Despite this schedule, even the Patriots (who I think are better than this Saints team) needed a little bit of luck/magic (Ravens timeout call on 4th down, Giants leading in Week 17) to pull out a 16-0 season.

Prediction: I think they could do it, but it is simply too hard in the NFL. They will lose to the Falcons Dec. 13. and go 15-1.
