We all know that there has only been one perfect person. Jesus Christ.
Most of us know the 1972 Miami Dolphins are the only major professional sports team to end a season with a zero in the loss column.
The New England Patriots were very close to being perfect two seasons ago. They lost a thrilling Superbowl to the New York Giants.
The NFL is really the only plausible major professional sports league in which a team can be perfect. Right now the Indianapolis Colts are 14-0 and the New Orleans Saints are 13-0 with a home game tomorrow evening against the Dallas Cowboys.
If it weren't for the Arizona Cardinals being legitimate contenders, I would be all for a Colts v. Saints Superbowl that features them both at 18-0. Having two undefeateds in one Superbowl is an event that may never happen.
The simple rarity of it is ridiculously intriguing. However, I think that it is more possible for the Arizona Cardinals to beat the 17-0 Saints in the NFC Championship game and beat the 18-0 Colts in the Superbowl.
Peyton Manning is the greatest. Drew Brees is excellent. The Cardinals are legit. They are going to beat the tar, stuffing and living daylights out of the Lions.

Week 15 prediction
I fully expect the Arizona Cardinals to bulldoze and demolish the Detroit Lions. The Cardinals have often followed what many consider a statement win with a humbling loss. The Cardinals have often followed that humbling loss with a huge win.
Week 6 of 2008. The Cardinals pull off an amazing victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Nobody saw it coming and Troy Aikman was soooooooooooooo annoying commentating for that game. They had a bye in Week 7 and lost to the Carolina Panthers in Week 8. Everyone expected the Panthers to win, but it was still humbling.
Week 7 of 2009. The Cardinals beat up on the New York Giants. They come home and get spanked by the Carolina Panthers the next week. They follow that with a beatdown of the Chicago Bears in Soldier Field.
Week 13 of 2009. The Cardinals steamroll the Minnesota Vikings. They head to San Fran the next week and fumble away the game. Those balls had to be slick as snot. The Cardinals did show that they are a better football team than the 49ers. If you only lose by 15 after committing seven turnovers, you are the better football team. You just had an extraordinarily bad game.
The Cardinals are still the team to beat in the NFC. They're going to host a first round playoff game. The second round of the playoffs will be in a dome. As will the NFC Championship game. The Cardinals have shown they are an elite team when they need to be.
Anyway...
