It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I heard that stat before and it stunned me. 5-0 is great but it's amazing that it's that rare for two teams. In addition, if the Colts and Patriots meet with 8-0 and 7-0 records it would be the "most undefeated" matchup ever; but that's looking ahead a little.
Actually, it's been stated that teams 5-0 + have only met 4 times in NFL history (including Jets at Pats in 2004).Its not that rare for there to be two undefeated teams in week six. By the time you get to week 9 it starts to get very rare. That means that the two undefeated teams have to be scheduled against each other during a very brief window. This is why the probability is so low.
If we win this week, the odds are against NE and Indy winning the six remaining games before their matchup (which would be the greatest matchup of undefeated teams yet).
