    That sounded a little off, so I looked it up ... they were great last year, but the year before, in 2010 they ranked 16th in Opponents PPG with 21.6, and 13th in total yards against.

    I agree that the 49ers should have beat NY, but to say they should have won the superbowl is a bit of a stretch ? I mean, they lost to NY in the same fashion that they beat the Saints, with crazy turnovers. So while they may have been unlucky in losing to NY, they were lucky to beat the saints.

    Before the season started. I was thinking Patriots vs Packers.

    Now it seems like Texans vs Falcons or 49ers.

    I stil think Chicago can pull a "Giants" and get hot and win a wildcard, then get carried by their defense.

    In my defense, if I would have known the 49ers were going to go with Kaepernick, I would have put them in instead of the Bears. The Bears still won double digit games. I dont think the 49ers would have been in the Super Bowl with Alex Smith. Their defense has not looked too impressive in the playoffs, it has really been the arms and leg of Kaep moving the offense.

    i think the 49ers are my pick now lol.

    Not sure about that. Smith was playing well before he got hurt and replaced.

    Pretty much means SF is going to the Super Bowl this year, those are some crazy odds of the Bills doing that last 6 years
    Interesting....

    Talk about crappy odds betting so early :

    Right before playoffs.
    Bears 100-1
    Baltimore 33-1
    Houston 25-1
    Packers 8-1

    This is why futures are so hard to win. You think you know, but you really don't know who will win.

    In NFL football unlike any other american sport I would argue the only thing you know is that you dont know.

    Nice write up .

    Super Bowl predictions are so tough in pre season.

    All in all, you did pretty darn well.

    The nfl rules allows teams to become good quickly. Many can predict a team will be good during the regular but the nfl playoffs can destroy any future because home field and number one seeds go down with regularity.
