Who, in your opinion, is the most overrated team going into 2023? For me, there are several to pick from: Chargers, Browns, Ravens, Jets, etc. But it has to be the Dolphins. They haven't won anything, yet all the media pundits keep anointing them. For one thing, Tua is way too injury prone to lead them anywhere. For another, their coach has very little experience.

Which team is it for you?
 
I haven't really zoomed in on the talking heads to see who they are pumping up. But I would think the Jets would get the hype from the media and the clowns from their delusional fans.
 
I'm going with the Jets. Dolphins were good till Tua went down. Adding Rodgers will not solve the jets problems. My order would be Jets , Browns, Ravens, Dolphins
 
Buffalo Bills. They seemed to be penciled in the AFCCG or SB and can't get there. I would like to see them finally hoist a Lombardi, if the Steelers don't, but as far as hype and potential, over-rated.

Bills are very good but have to deal with Cinci and KC. The AFC is just tough right now
 
Jets - they are a popular pick as a potential winner in the AFC East all because of Rodgers. The pieces are there, but they are the Jets afterall.

Lions - the NFC version of the Steelers as a sleeper pick at the end of last season. I'm not sure if this is a team that can handle high expectations. They had a good draft, but with very poor value going RB, ILB, TE, and S with four picks in the first two rounds. Zero premium players. Nothing says "win now" mode like this type of draft, they have to cash in.

Bears - maybe this one should just be Justin Fields. Some feel he will blow up this year and take over the league. They're too busy looking at fantasy stats and not the actual games. He helped play the Steelers into getting the No. 32 overall pick. Thanks!
 
Browns. Is Deshaun Watson better than Baker Mayfield circa 2020 (3563 yards, 26 TD's, 8 ints)? Maybe, maybe not. That team went 11-5 and was a wildcard, won one playoff game.

Their defense is really no better, the running game not as good, their offensive line not as good.

Maybe I missed it, but are people outside Cleveland hyping up the Browns?
 
Its the Jets. i know so many people calling them super Bowl FAVORITES.. not just contenders… more often than not a vet QB needs a year of adjustment…
 
Da Brahns! Every year their fans chirp loudly about how this is their year and they're going to the Super Bowl. GTFOH! They are and have been Paper Champions every single year.

Where's Lee Flowers?
 
How about a most underrated thread?

No.1 would be the STEELERS.

go blow me.

Yes.

The predictions have the Browns at third in the AFC North, with the Pittsburgh Steelers finishing last. ESPN gave the Browns a 14 percent chance to win the division and a 1.2 percent chance to win the Super Bowl.

To go along with the record prediction, ESPN has the Browns with a 38.5 percent chance to make the playoffs.

Usual bullshit "Browns are going to be good" comment
 
As far as under hyped, The STEELERS have been blown out of their last 3 playoff appearances, 44 burgers are hard to eat.

Until they do something to deserve any kind of hype, they shall remain un-hyped.


Salute the nation

I don’t know what I would hate worse, being a Browns fan, or being a fan of a team that lost four consecutive SBs, and then be owned by Brady for nearly 2 decades.

Both fanbases think THIS YEAR is the year, which is every year. At least the Bills go the SB four times. Cleve had to watch their ex marry and have 2 kids while they are still single and lonely.
