Saints overrated

Spread wise i feel the browns and bucs are underrated...

Saints overrated.. Ya know I was going to put them up there but I feel that there in a good spot. Everyone seems to think and say that there a 6-7 win team this year and I'd agree with that.

Browns being underrated I don't know but I will say that the Browns defense is VERY solid.

Bucs are too up and down for me to say either way.. Plus i dont think there getting too much hate and/or too much love.

Thanks for the response "yaMotha" lol

Bump!

As far as betting is concerned I cant really say the skins are underrated. The lines have been pretty sharp and the public seems to like them

vikingfan101 · 10-29-12, 10:29 PM

Are Green Bay/Detroit/New England really underrated? They all came into the season with high expectations and have not played up to them. Green Bay barely squeaked by Jax this week, Detroit started off poorly this year and NE certainly haven't played up to their potential.

PlatinumBerg · 10-29-12, 10:43 PM

LoL! GB and NE is NOT underrated!

OTL · 10-29-12, 10:56 PM

The Giants are still underrated, it's ridiculous. Dolphins must be the most underrated though.

The Chargers, Cards, Eagles, and Cowgirls are extremely overrated. Every year it's the same story.

Broncos are not overrated. It took them awhile to get going and they are about to feast on some average teams. I fuccing hate Manning and Elway but Peyton is a machine on offense. Once his receivers catch up with him they are going to be putting up Playstation numbers.

I agree, the Browns defense is very solid. Weeden is improving every week and making less mistakes. They leave a lot of points on the board but once they get it together, watch out.

I'll do all 32 teams roughly in order from most to least and put all teams in one category or the other.

underrated : TB, SF, ATL, HOU, NE, SEA, STL, MIA, IND, CLE, NYJ, DEN, NYG, CHI, WAS, JAX
overrated : PHI, KC, BAL, GB, TEN, CIN, SD, OAK, BUF, PIT, DAL, DET, AZ, MIN, NO, CAR

Using these rankings, here's the top 5 picks for this week:

ATLANTA -4 (-110)

TAMPA BAY +1.5 (-110)

ARIZONA +11 (-110)

HOUSTON -10.5 (-110)

CLEVELAND +3.5 (-110)

To follow slacker's model:

underrated : TB, MIA, SEA, SF, IND, CLE, NYJ, DEN, NYG, JAX, STL, PHI, PIT, NE, CAR
overrated : OAK, SD, CIN, BAL, MIN, GB, AZ, BUF, NO, WAS, ATL, HOU, CHI, KC, TEN, DAL, DET

Public teams like GB/NE or newly public teams HOU/CHI/ATL/BAL will swing from under or overrated depending on what they did the week prior. I think PHI is to the point with all the "bench Vick" talk that they are underrated, but again, so much of this is week to week.

WHATaTEASE · 10-30-12, 07:17 PM

I think Bengals one of the most over rated teams this year ..

ChiLLx · 10-30-12, 07:43 PM

Denver, Seattle, Miami are three of the most underrated teams this year

Broncos will probably rattle off a huge win streak now

Denver has the easiest schedule down the stretch in terms of current opponent winning percentage. Wouldn't surprise me to see them get a first round bye in the playoffs. WR's are getting it together, defense is playing well.

Knowing the Cowboys, this is a game they not only cover, but win outright.

I agree, Cowboys win the games no one expects them to but lose ones they are supposed to win..that being said ATL is very tough to beat at home and with this week being a nationally televised game, Romo is going to be in trouble

A lot of folks thought the same way when Dallas went into 13-0 New Orleans. Tough place to play, yadda, yadda, yadda. I haven't seen Ryan get pressured much this year. I expect that to change come Sunday night.

Over-rated: Baltimore (mediocre coordinator on D, loss of high IQ LB). Washington (after a pair of wins in a row, safe to go vs. this dysfunctiuonal team which has no D and a terrible HC. RG III will be great, however.

Under-rated: Philly (yes, we all know they are in crises mode, but IF (IF) they win on MNF they still have the talent to beat most other teams, and remember, other dysfunctional teams such as Wash/Dallas reside in their Division. Pittsburgh, but the +395 value on them to make the playoffs is long gone (that was good!).

kobebryant55 · 11-12-12, 08:31 PM

My picks still hold true

kobebryant55 · 11-12-12, 09:22 PM

As I said steelers and bears overrated.

kobebryant55 · 11-13-12, 12:23 PM

Anyone know a not bet Super Bowl winner book

tripled83 · 11-13-12, 01:09 PM

Steelers are overrated and bengals are underrated.

Enkhbat · 11-13-12, 09:02 PM

Denver ain't overrated, they are crushing lately

kobebryant55 · 11-13-12, 11:01 PM

Crushing lately? Den beat Car Oak Cin and oh yeah SD (who sucks) who were up big against them and forced Mannjng to throw what 3 INTS in one quarter. Denver is a one win playoff team (they easily get in by default cause the afc west is atrocious). If anyone knows where I can bet against den on futures or Pitt let me know!
