Are you just hedging your bets?

I really think Dortmund are clear favorites. I am really down on Bayern. If their name was Ausberg, I think people would be more comfortable putting them lower in the table. Now lower in the table is relative for Bayern of course. There are not competing for Europa league spots. My top three are Dortmund, Leipzig, and then Bayern. I really think Bayern could have a league form similar to Real Madrid the last couple of years.
