I can see em making a run, but favorite, not so much.
Im not big on them being the favorite to win or even be in the SB. Lofty expectations are usually not met. The schedule they got starts off absolutely BRUTAL (4 road games in first 6 weeks) but they get 4 out the last 6 at home (including the toughest game they have vs the Saints).
Everything Ive seen in the preseason leads me to believe that they are no worse than a 10 win team, and probably at least 12 wins..so they should at least make the playoffs for the 3rd straight year with Harbaugh/Flacco even if its as a wild card again, though I cant see Cincy or Pittsburgh winning more than 10 games.

The biggest issue I have with them getting to the Super Bowl is that one of the big 3 contenders (alongside the Ravens and Patriots) in the AFC is Indy and the Ravens haven't shown an ability to play with the Colts on the same level.
