In an spot on The Dan Patrick Show, Dungy said that he would be "absolutely shocked" if the Colts lose the Super Bowl.

"They haven't lost a game this year that they really were trying to win," said Dungy, who coached the Colts from 2002 through 2008. "They've come from behind in a lot of games. Their history against the Saints has been pretty good. The fact that they've been to the game and the Saints haven't -- I think that's an advantage. They have a lot of advantages. The Saints have Drew Brees and they can put up a lot of points. I don't think the Saints' defense is nearly as good as the Colts. It really would shock me if the Colts didn't win."

Not that I disagree, but I wish he hadn't said anything.

Mike Florio brought up the Saints-Cowboys story, and Dungy's comments. idk how much i Buy into it. in fact I don't. and I too would be kinda shocked. Wasn't expecting him to comment. but you know he wasn't going to pick the Saints

I know this ain't the place to say it...but I think the Colts are going to lose!

I actually think Dungy wants the Colts to lose so that's why he's trying to jinx it.

Just think about it. Caldwell has come in and led the Colts to their best season ever. Dungy never in his coaching career had the Colts playing as good as they are now. So in a way Dungy feels Caldwell could be better than him, thus hoping he loses the SB. Well that's just what I think.

I'm driving back to Vegas right now and changing my pick to the Saints! Thanks Tony!
