Here come Jim Harbaugh and the San Francisco 49ers. Another convincing victory leaps them up in the race to the Super Bowl, right near the top of the rankings.
Vegas's odds agree. The 49ers have leapt up from 60:1 odds at the beginning of the season to 16:1 odds at the current day. San Francisco is still surprisingly behind the Detroit Lions despite their thrilling victory last Sunday, but you figure a few more strong handshakes from Jim Harbaugh can elevate them even higher.
The Oakland Raiders aren't making quite so drastic leaps (you'd have to figure the injury to starting quarterback Jason Campbell would have something to do with that), but they are also in much better shape than before the season. The Raiders are up from 80/1 odds to 30/1, but they could drop off if the season doesn't improve.
