Here are the most overhyped and underrated teams heading into the NFL season

Overhyped

1. Buffalo Bills. The Bills are the overwhelming favorites. They have the best odds in Las Vegas to win it all (around 6-1).
In the Globe, all seven of us picked the Bills to make the Super Bowl (including yours truly), and five of us picked the Bills to win it all (I have them losing to the Buccaneers).

 

Quote

In The Athletic, 30 of 43 Super Bowl votes went to the Bills. Of 30 ESPN analysts, 21 picked the Bills to win the AFC, and 18 picked them to win the Super Bowl. The next-most-popular pick for AFC champions were the Chiefs, with three votes.


Hmmm 🤔 

No mention of the Cheats as  either Overrated or Underrated

I don’t believe this author understands the meaning of “overhyped.”  That term is used to describe a team that is seemingly unworthy of the attention they are receiving.  Nothing about the makeup of the 2022 Buffalo Bills suggests it is unreasonable to pick them to win the championship.

 

Overhyped is when you pick the Pats*** to make the playoffs simply because “BB is still the coach” and “Mac will certainly take a 2nd year jump.”

The most overhyped team in the league last year was New England.  

 

8-4.  Division lead.  Beat a bunch of cream puff teams.  

 

Then reality.  

 

 

This year the most over hyped team is KC imo.  I think they'll be good but I don't see how they can win a SB with no WR that scares you and a 33 year old Kelce.  And still no clear RB1.  

 

Love their oline tho.  But it wouldn't surprise me if they finished 3rd in that division at like 9-8 and miss the playoffs.

Barring bad luck on the "player availability" front, the Bills are overhyped if we don't win it all. That's just the way it is.


that applies to every Championship caliber team 

so agree to disagree

That's b.c people are generally concerned about the Patriots offense. They looked bad and looked like the guy running it had no idea what to do, not to mention Mac already had a Drama moment in preseason. The guy isn't a real leader.

How can they be over hyped if they are delivering on that hype? They just dominated the defending champs on their own building

'Overhyped' is how the NFL punditry has viewed the 'Phins year on year. ;)


Buddo, do you remember the old days when Larry Kings would make his picks in the paper?

 

“…It looks Like the Dolphins are the team to beat this year.”

 

Oh boy.  Year and year out it seemed.

Every team in every sport that is picked as the favorite before the season starts (but especially in football) is going to be considered “overhyped.” That’s just how it is. Think about it, how many times on this very board has the team with the best odds been considered overhyped or overrated? It happens every year

Let the media have their moment. What happens in their world doesn't matter.

 

Facts rather than talking heads will be put to rest on Sunday, February 12th!

 

Winning in Arizona is the goal. Let's "Find a Way" to get it done on that day.

 

Let's Go Buffalo!
