    its upset b/c they beat the Saints with Drew Brees.

    Until Saturday , Alex Smith had never really been considered anything other than an average QB.

    Is this seriously still a debate. By DEFINITION, an upset is defined as an underdog winning straight up. Period. There are no other criteria.

    In gambling world it is an upset because the betting public determined that the Saints were better, by 3.5 points, even on the road than San Fran it the game they last played. Under those conditions in the Boolean underdog theory somewhere in the magic kingdom this constitutes an upset, under those criterion.

    Then you admit the Aints were lucky to win a Super Bowl.

    Didn't they win the turnover battle against the Vikes 5:1 and won by 3 in overtime before going on to beat the Colts.

    The best quarterback in the league versed a 1st round bust until this very year. Had Alex not won this game, he would of still been considered a bust.
