OK, so now Phil AND Colt have gone to the 49ers. But let's just hold up on giving them a ring. History shows that it is highly improbable that they will get one.

Really surprised at the high probability (95% per above historical data) that the Niners won't get the ring in 2014.
Current Vegas odds are 7-1 of Niners winning Super Bowl. Definite value in placing a proposition bet in Vegas against the Niners
but you would have to put up $1000 or so dollars just to win $100. js

If you notice, the last Super Bowl loser to go on to win a Super Bowl at any later point in time is the 2000 Giants. But they waited 7 years to do that, and it was with a complete new team. New coach, new QB, probably new everything. If there were more than 1 or 2 players from that 2000 SB loser that was still on the Giants in 2007 I would be surprised. The only guys I can think of are Michael Strahan and Amani Toomer.

Actually slightly less than that. Of 47 Super Bowl losers, only 2, or 4.25% went on to win the Super Bowl the following year after losing it.
Edit: let me correct that. That 47 includes the 49ers whose fate is not known yet. It is 2 of 46 who went on to win the following year, or 4.34%

Let's not forget Giants benefited from the luckiest play in Super Bowl history. The famous Manning to Tyree "Helmet Catch".

That's not how probability works.

That's not how probability works.
I don't think it is probabability, it is just history.
Despite the history, I think the 49ers could likely be the betting favorite to win next year's Super Bowl.
