I exclusively listen to sirius NFL. I'm thankfully not listening to the fan (but i miss steve somers) so my perspective on overrated/underrated is impacted by that. So that said i think the Jets are underrated. I think they have significantly improved in key areas. The defense is the best we have had. Tebow adds a completely new dimension to the offense. and I expect the OL to be much better and Vlad's improvement provides needed depth. Lastly but most importantly, Sanchez is entering his 4th yr and he has consistently improved - he simply needs to reduce his INTs, and he would be much more effective- he has it, and this is the yr he puts it together and shuts up his critics. Overrated I am going with the steelers. They were not great last yr. lost to the broncos in the first rd. poor OL and a QB who is an absolute dumptruck that can throw , but he is an agng immobile qb w/a weak OL and I think he's headed to the IR before turkey day.
Maybe my tablet failed me, but did nobody mention the Cowgurls? They are consistently the most overrated team in the NFL, their SB odds are laughable EVERY YEAR. They've won one playoff game since Backstreet Boys got gurls' panties wet. Team is always the joke of the NFL, even if they beat the Gnats this week. Worst part is that I have Romo in fantasy thanks to autodraft, id trade him for a bag of Doritos
I don't see how you can write us off just yet, we are still anywhere from an 8-8 to an 11-5 team. Yesterdays scheme just simply didn't work, we don't match up well with the Jets when giving up a big lead early so it was difficult to climb back.
Nooo theres going to be a lockout. Thank god for the Jets but hockey really helps get me through Monday-Thursday nights.
11-5. Come on. Did you not watch yesterday. 4 more losses for the season with the Patriots twice and the Jets once. That could very easily be another 3 losses.
I think there is some truth to that. While the Patriots deserve to be considered one of the favorites to win the conference, the press has them as a lock on going to the Superbowl. Some have even talked about being undefeated. I'd love to see NE go to their 8th SB. But sorry this is the NFL. The season is a process. ANY team has questions that only the actual season can answer, and the Pats have those questions for sure. It's the same thing as last year when many were predicting a repeat for GB. As far as others - I just don't believe in the Bears or the Falcons. The Jets ARE under-rated, it was quite apparent from watching their pre-season the defense is improved. The offense though - not buying into that yet so I won't say they are the most under-rated.
I think the Jets are the most underrated team in the AFC. People were predicting 6-10. Patriots should be the AFC Superbowl rep favorite. Their offense is just as good as last year and their D can only go up. They looked a lot better in the front 7 yesterday but their secondary still is suspect. Giants and Bills are the 2 most overrated teams of the AFC and NFC. Eagles too but I don't know if they are all that highly rated. If I had to pick a superbowl I'd say 49ers Patriots. Texans and Bears/Falcons also look good.
