Even politicians are throwing their predictions out. Link I don't remember all the undefeated talk starting so early for the Broncos or Colts, even the Patriots talk didn't really ramp up until the last couple of weeks.
And the ESPN segment with Tedy Bruschi talking about what it takes to go undefeated made him look as pompous as ever. But what evened it out is when he had to talk about how they lost the Super Bowl at the end.
