Vernon Davis Thinks 49ers 'Should Be The Super Bowl Favorites'

So too are internal expectations apparently -- Vernon Davis told Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury-News that he "strongly" believes the 49ers should be the Super Bowl favorites ... before saying that he couldn't say that.
The Niners were installed at 8:1 to win the Super Bowl over at Sportsbook.com. That makes them one of the top faves to win the Super Bowl, behind only the Packers and the Patriots (and even with the Eagles).
