You Colts owners should hope they STAY undefeated...because "a loss here and there" would give a higher chance at resting starters than trying to have an undefeated season would.

Undefeated = starters play week 16.

One or two losses = could wrap up home field and starters rest.

I don't see the colts taking the foot off the pedal this year until week 17. How many times have they taken off the last couple of games and come out flat in their playoff game? They've got to learn 1 of these years

HOWEVER...

Brady and Moss put up absolute stinkers in Week 15 of that season as the Patriots played a tight game against the Jets.

Brady: 14 of 27, 140 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT
Moss: 5 for 79, 0 TD

Yet another example that anything can happen in fantasy football!
