Top 3 Most Underrated Teams In The NFL

Following up the Top 3 Most Overrated Teams in the NFL, is the Top 3 Most Underrated Teams in the NFL. 

These teams have been overlooked this season by many prognosticators, and just may have what it takes to surprise some people.

Will all the sweat, blood and holdouts pay off?  (We already know holdouts pay off, what are we thinking?)  Only time will tell, and thank f**king goodness the season’s finally here — so we can talk about what is happening, as opposed to what we all think will happen.

The Top 3 Most Underrated Teams in the NFL are:

1.) Houston Texans

Finally, the year of the Texan has arrived! I think they could have made a run for it last year had Owen Daniels and Matt Schaub stayed healthy. But this year they are healthy and ready to go.

They have the best wide receiver in football in Andre Johnson and a deep running back platoon of Arian Foster, Steve Slaton, and Derrick Ward. The schedule is very favorable for Houston and honestly if they do not make the playoffs I will be very surprised.

They have six difficult games on their schedule that include the Colts, Chargers, Cowboys, Ravens, and Jets. Other than that they should be favored in the remaining 10 games.

Prediction – 10-6 (wild card) Don’t mess with Texas

2.) Oakland Raiders

Yes, Jason Campbell does make that big of a difference. Look at the riff-raff at quarterback they have had over the last 5 years. Jason Campbell is just what this team needed, an accurate mistake free quarterback.

He is surrounded with young talent that has been waiting to have someone that can get them the ball downfield. The combo of Darren McFadden and Michael Bush will surprise a lot of people.

If you are still making fun of me take a look at Oakland’s schedule and tell me they don’t have a chance to compete for their division. That has to be the weakest schedule I have ever seen.

Prediction – 10-6 (miss playoffs … barely)

3.) Miami Dolphins

The Big Tuna sure can work some magic. He has taken this team to cellar dweller to competing for the division. His crowning achievement has to be trading for Brandon Marshall.

Not many people are taking Chad Henne serious, but I spent four years watching him at Michigan and the dude has an arm. Look for a breakout season for the Henne/Marshall combo.

With a supporting cast of Devonne Bess, Brian Hartline, Anthony Fasono and Ronnie and Ricky in the backfield, this team is ready to challenge for the division and return to the playoffs.

Prediction – 9-7 (miss playoffs)
