I'm surprised that the Gnats are so high and the Farty Whiners are so low.

They're 1-2 against teams on that list (and that one win was vs Denver) and haven't actually beaten a really good team all year.

the Pats had a VERY soft schedule this year, and managed to make some pretty bad teams look okay (at least on offense). I'll be cheering for them, but I wouldn't put money on them against anyone but the Broncos and Cincy.

I've been watching ESPN a lot this past week and besides Tebow, this seems to be a big topic of conversation.

to deal with teams such as the Saints or the Packers...an argument that has some legitimacy. So, I can understand why the odds favor those other clubs over them..

thing is, there's been so much speculation over the years about who the 49ers should pick up as their next QB, I no longer give it a second thought. Alex may not put up numbers like Rodgers, Brady or Brees, but he's doing exactly what Harbaugh asks him to..and that means not losing games. He's only thrown 5 interceptions all year to go with 17 TD, a TD to INT ratio of 3.40....3rd best in franchise history. Plus, he hasn't lost a fumble since Thanksgiving against the Ravens..

I also think the Lions should have better odds than the Falcons.
