Why This Trend Exists

The Colts' remarkable success as underdogs during win streaks stems from their organizational tendency to peak when expectations are lowest. Indianapolis has historically thrived in the undervalued position, particularly when their offense finds rhythm through consecutive victories. The franchise's quarterback-centric system, whether with Manning, Luck, or Richardson, creates explosive scoring potential that oddsmakers often underestimate when the team is catching points. Indianapolis benefits from superior coaching adjustments during winning streaks, as their staff excels at identifying and exploiting defensive weaknesses that emerge from game film study. The team's offensive line improvements during hot streaks allow for more aggressive downfield passing, creating the big-play capability that turns close games into comfortable covers. Their defense, while inconsistent season-long, tends to generate timely turnovers when confidence is high. The psychological edge cannot be overlooked – this franchise performs with house money mentality when riding momentum as underdogs. Players embrace the disrespect narrative, leading to more focused preparation and execution in prime-time spots where they're expected to falter. This trend carries maximum value when Indianapolis faces divisional opponents or playoff-contending teams during their streak, as familiarity breeds the tactical advantages that fuel their underdog magic.
