Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay knew it was a long shot for his team to win on the road against the New Orleans Saints as they entered Sunday night as 14 point underdogs. However, Irsay has always been the type of owner who believes his team can win no matter what the circumstance–which is why he was willing to put his money where his mouth was if the Colts somehow managed to pull off the upset.

Irsay apparently wanted to win so bad that he was willing to give away $6,000 in the process if a fan was able to predict the score. Obviously, this was nowhere close to even happening after Indianapolis suffered one of their biggest losses in franchise history after being blown out by New Orleans 62-7.
The Colts owner has always been known for his famous trivia questions on Twitter in which he gives away some hefty cash prizes and considering the team’s 0-7 start–let’s hope Mr. Irsay will be open to giving away more prizes like this for predicting his team pulling off an upset.
