Most Underrated teams in the NFL

Last post I discussed the teams that I believe are currently being overrated. This week I want to discuss who I believe is underrated and could surprise people easily next season. The NFL is always unpredictable and recent super bowl winners were not seriously considered Lombardi trophy contenders entering their winning seasons. Lets take a look:

Kansas City Chiefs- Seriously, nobody is talking much about this team at all. That makes them all the more dangerous. Andy Reid is a great coach and I think changing from the Eagles was the best thing that could happen to him. While he has likely reached his peak in terms of coaching, I think this team is talented enough to prevail. First, they did the right thing in making sure there offensive line is solid and added to their already talented secondary. Most of all though, they have a quarterback that can at least win games in Alex Smith. Don´t be surprised if you see these guys end up dominating the AFC west.

Detriot Lions- Anyone ever predict these guy would make any list ever for being contenders? It seem this team is overlooked by the members of the NFL often and nobody seems to notice them much. If Reggie Bush can stay healthy this offense could be extremely hard to stop. Calvin Johnson is already a beast and I think he will become one of the top receivers in the NFL again. The defensive line is an area of strength and there secondary is good enough to do the job. The only problem this team could have is an average at best offensive line. If Stafford gets hurt, this season will likely come to a disappointing ending.

San Francisco 49´ers- Underrated? Yeah. Anytime you have a guy who enters his first year and coaches a team to a conference championship and then the next year a super bowl, you have an extremely dangerous team.  Although people say they have a real shot at winning the super bowl, not many people are saying they are most likely to win the Superbowl because it is very hard to get into two Superbowls in a row. However, this them is simply dynamic. Colin Kaepernick is very dangerous and extremely smart in knowing when to run or pass. This defense is a beast and the fact that there staff remains in tact with a few additions is criminal. Broncos are mentioned more then the 49ers for the Super Bowl, which is another reason why they are underrated.

Atlanta Falcons- They are in boom or bust mode with the changes they are making to the team, but the media seems to talk about Chip Kelly more than these guys. They are an extremely dangerous pass defense and there offensive is explosive. They always seem to disappoint when it comes to the playoffs, but maybe with nobody talking about them much they might be the team to come out of nowhere. They are at the bottom of my underrated list though because I would not be surprised to see them flop in the playoffs (which the media believes will happen and is why they do not get much attention). Still, since they are rarely mentioned, they are underrated.
