My favorites to win the Super Bowl are the Colts

Kyle Busch the gambler It does sound kind of odd that a driver who was born and raised in a city that is world famous for its gambling adventures, would even consider taking a chance that fate would take away from him the way it has done so many people who have stepped through the doors of the unknown.Im sure Busch has heard, and probably witnessed with his own eyes just how brutal fate can be, especially when you put it all the line in hopes of getting a chance to taste the fruits of success. Busch, who just became the Camping World Truck series newest owner, is taking a gamble that his team will be successful both on and off the track, along with gambling that his reputation wont get tarnished any further.The gamble that we see here, is a type that has put the odds in this young owners hands, since it is he who has control of how his season will play out.Whether he wins or loses, he alone can wipe the slate clean of the childish behavior that he was quick to let the fans know about whenever things didnt go his way.Busch will be gambling race after race that his team will meet his expectations, and that in turn will dictate the attitude that he walks away with which we already know can go either way.Now there is another type of gamble that Busch has already taken on probably without knowing about it, and its one that is completely out of his hands. The gamble is one that is as mysterious as the chase itself, and so far to date it has yet to be beaten.It carries a perfect 100 percent success rate, with the odds highly stacked against any driver who chooses to play this game of chance.Six drivers to date have already fallen victim, which makes Busch No. 7 to try his luck at beating the odds when the chase begins next season.The number 13 has very rich history of brining bad luck to those who come in contact with it, especially around the town where Busch grew up.This past season Busch took his chances with the No. 13, while playing the odds that one driver was able to battle back from the 13th unlucky spot with two races remaining, while earning the privilege to do battle for the Sprint Cup Championship.Busch was snake bitten and left out of the post season party where he would eventually finish in that unlucky No. 13 spot, the same spot that cost him his chance at to do battle for his first cup championship.Just how safe is finishing 13th at the end of the season, knowing that this unlucky number is waiting in the shadows for its next victimMaybe Busch hasnt taken the time to look at the past history of the chase, or he feels that he is invincible against any type of myth that might come between him and the shiny piece of hardware.After all he just won the 2009 Nationwide championship, which also came with a very low success rate of becoming a cup champion.In the 27 year history of the Busch/Nationwide series, Bobby Labonte has been the only driver that has won a championship in Nationwide series (1991), and the Sprint cup series (2000). First off to become a cup champion, a driver first has to make the chase in order to have that chance.Kyle Thomas Busch might have sealed his own fate for the 2010 season as far as his championships dreams are concerned, because you see during the six year span of the chase, not one driver who has finished in that unlucky No. 13 spot in the standings has ever made the chase the following year.Only time will tell if Busch, who grew up in Las Vegas, has learned anything about gambling. .

It’s obvious they’re focused on perfection, not arriving at Mercury Morris’ block for the Super Bowl.For all it symbolizes, the Colts are jeopardizing health, putting the franchise at risk.At 14-0, why is a franchise in pursuit of the improbable, unthinkable finish of the ages, prompting an arrogant Morris to scream and utter sarcastic remarksWhy is a franchise trying desperately to reach a pinnacle, with historic deeds of all-time in sports historyThe least of their worries is a glorious achievement particularly if dancing in Miami and winning a Super Bowl title is imperative for illustrating a memorable season.Being on the brink of self-destruction when it matters the most could deprive an arrival onto the national stage, which distinguishes a heartbreaking moment. And when there’s a rookie coach in the picture having an impressive season, losing late can hurt Tony Dungy’s successor Jim Caldwell.Good teams are bound to falter, but realistically, it seems the Colts won’t lose this season. They are unbeaten and armed with tremendous weapons to rise to a climax.Meanwhile, greediness of attaining glory can doom a promising season. Pursuing the unprecedented plateau of all-time isn’t everything.When a dream suddenly looms and you’ve already clinched home-field advantage, and earned a top-seeded playoff berth, the ultimate trip to Miami is a priority.It would be nice surpassing an incredible mark in all of sports, but it’s unpleasant if key players suffer vital injuries and are unable to contribute.But it’s good to know, the Colts are on the verge of winning their second Super Bowl title, knowing its reputation for moving from Baltimore to Indianapolis overnight without informing the fans. Besides, owner Jim Irsay has developed a contiguous bond in Indianapolis as fans appreciate the much-respected franchise.This is a team with guts. This is a team with enough heart to seek history. But what matters the most is, using Herm Edwards' words, is playing to win the game, not to prosper historically.As it stands, the Colts are the hottest team in the league, improving its record to a perfect 14-0 with two games remaining.Allowing Indianapolis to attempt NFL’s unthinkable, can provoke a freak accident in the upcoming weeks as an essential star is vulnerable of a devastating blow.In a contest that wrote a highly intense and dramatic finish lasting until the final minutes of Thursday night, the Colts held collective breaths, nervous of a near-loss hurting the journey to perfection.They almost lost their first game of the season, stumbling in a back-and-forth, turn of events fray that had nine lead changes.What was Caldwell thinking to use the starters, not only in the first-half, but the second-half, tooThe least he could have done was allowed the monstrous defensive ends, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, to play until halftime, and remove them in the second-half.It is time to rest each superstar, ensuring all the primary weapons on the roster are robust and energized when the playoffs arrive.From the look of their body languages, the Colts defensively are fatigued and need rest to fully recharge for a successive journey.

Judging by the motions, you could say the calendar reads February, not mid-December a month when the Dallas Cowboys are doomed, you sing Christmas carols, deck the halls with decorations and drink egg nog.But most gamblers predicted the Colts were favorites to pummel the Jacksonville Jaguars.It wasn’t a pushover victory, nor were the Jaguars intimidated of the Colts’ solidity to dominate and own spotlight for a 23-game win streak one of the longest streaks in major sporting history.Let’s come to an understanding, Peyton Manning has 14 wins, has yet to lose and is favorite to win his fourth MVP award.You’re accustomed to seeing a vintage Manning shatter some of the greatest records of all-time, solidifying a spot within the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. By resting in the late quarters, it could have harmed an impeccable journey of managing to hold on to an undefeated season.As a result, the Colts would not have salvaged a high-scoring 35-31 win on a tense and threatening night in Jacksonville.I don’t believe a breathtaking finish was possible, if Manning sat on the bench staring at the second unit.He connected with top receiver and primary target, Reggie Wayne for a 65-yard touchdown. That pretty much clinched the win, extending the Colts’ stupendous win streak to 23 consecutive regular-season wins, a large achievement, becoming the third-longest streak in American sports.My favorites to win the Super Bowl are the Colts. There’s a fearful notion someone is vulnerable of getting banged up, but Caldwell is encouraging his players to venture, not even thinking of the negatives.What about the fansWell, I’d speculate it’s normal to have the jitters each week, worried of the welfare of a player’s health.
