NFL Power Rankings: 3 Undefeated Teams That Are Overhyped

Undefeated starts in the NFL can be extremely deceiving, especially when only two games have gone by.

It’s great to win both of your first two games and the momentum of starting off the season undefeated is huge, but it doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things.

Nonetheless, these teams will receive so much hype in the coming week that it will make you absolutely sick.

There is nothing more annoying than an overhyped team in the beginning of the season.

Here are the top three undefeated NFL teams that are overhyped.

1. Detroit Lions

It’s simple; the Lions are in no way as bad as they used to be, but they are in no way as good as most think they are. They are a good team, but they are not a great team, Yes, Matthew Stafford has looked excellent, but look at the two teams they have played. The Buccaneers, who aren’t as good as we thought they should be, and the Chiefs, who are now arguably the worst team in the league.

I will be interested in the Lions once they beat the teams in their division. The Lions are still questionable in the backfield, and until Jahvid Best actually proves to me that he is a legitimate starting running back, it will be hard for me to trust the them. Once they start playing better defenses, Stafford isn't going to have as much time to throw it around, and the lack of a true runner will be exposed.

2. Buffalo Bills

Have the Bills conjured up some time machine that I don’t know about? They have looked like the vintage Bills that used to dominate the NFL, and I must admit that they have been pretty impressive. They are not as good as their record indicates though. They blew out the Chiefs and then barely beat an average Oakland team. The defense is much improved, but I'm not sure how long Fred Jackson can keep up this tear he's on. I'm also not a huge fan of the Bills' very thin receiving corps.

3. Green Bay Packers

Yes, the defending Super Bowl Champion Packers are overrated at the moment. That’s not saying they are not the best team in the league, because they are. Their defense has looked anything but Super Bowl caliber though, and the injuries are once again starting to pile up on the defensive end. They will straighten it out, but at least defensively they are not up to par.
