100% right
short of the packers falling over, no one can beat them... what you've got to pay respect to, is the niners record is going to put them in a position that if the pack do fall over, they are in the mix for being the right team at the right time. I do believe that the AFC looks pretty average this year, steelers, ravens, pats are probably the cream of the crop i dont see them as unbeatable. So if the niners get lucky and get past the pack, they are as good a chance as any other
the saints aside who i think are the #2 team in the league at their best, but obviously consistancy is an issue and the pats who brady can and will shread on a good day (brady on a good day is pretty much impossible to defend)
the packers are elite... hard to see them being beaten but the others, the niners can beat them all, simply because no one else is as consistantly good as the packers. The saints and pats are both good, both will beat them at their best but they arent consistant enough to say the Niners are out of the mix, because the niners are consitantly good, never great, just good all the time... if you have an off day or a bad day, they'll beat you and they dont give up
