Who do you guys think are the most underrated teams in the NFL? Here is my list:
1. San Francisco 49ers- Even after that 45-10 debalacation at the hands of the Falcons, I still do like the 49ers. They are mainly unnoticed because they are a team that has struggled in recent history and they receive no style points for their play. However, Mike Singletary has made this a tough, hard-nosed squad who doesn't care about how they win, so long as they win. They'll bruise, batter and wear down their opponents. The fact that they were competitive against the Vikings after Gore went down really does excite me. What Singletary has done to this group is fantastic. Remember how selfish Vernon Davis used to be? He admits that Singletary has made him see the light: it is just not about him, it is about the team. This is a hard-working squard, and Singletary should be nominated for Coach of the Year if they make it to the playoffs
2. Miami Dolphins- An 0-3 start and a Pennington injury have allowed the Fins to enter underrated territory. Believe it or not, but Henne is better suited than Pennington for this offence. No one is afraid of Pennington's pathetic arm, but Henne has an extremely powerful arm to go along with this deadly running game of Brown, Williams and Cobbs and their Wildcat. Rushing defence is also a major strength. Expect them to surprise quite a few in the next few weeks. Wildcard spot isn't out of the question.
3. Arizona Cardinals- This defence has actually improved, especially in the past few weeks. Even though Warner isn't what he was like even last year, he still has Fitzgerald, Boldin and Breaston to throw to. Expect a tight race between them and the 49ers for the division title.
