Pats over Giants or Eagles.Most overhyped and overrated team: Philadelphia Eagles--Disagree. The D is wicked, Westbrook and McNabb (before Vick) were formidable. They might not be my favorite to win the Conference, but they are not overrated.
Most improved teams: 1. Minnesota--this is pretty obvious. Obvious maybe until early November. After that, I doubt it after Favre does his predictable swoon and drags the vikings with him for the last five or six weeks of the season because Childress doesn't have the cojones to bench him.
2. New England--- The Pats were not the best TEAM in 2007, they had the best offense of all time--the defense was bailed out in several games and was often overlooked. I'm not getting into your 2007 comments here. But any team that didn't make the Playoffs in 2008 and wins the next SB, as the Pats will, is "Most Improved" by default.
The team that no one wants to play in the playoffs: Dallas Cowboys--they have nothing to lose--not many are predicting a playoff berth for this squad. Let's not put the Boys in the Playoffs yet. And I think once the Pats get into the Playoffs, they are the team that no one wants to play, whether they got there 16--0 or 9--7 as a Wildcard.
The team that concerns me most as a Pats fan: Indianapolis--Nah, it's the Steelers now until proven otherwise, unless you're talking about the "game" that most concerns you.
Worst team in NFL: Denver Broncos Too early to agree, but they're working on it. Right now I'd give the honor to the Lions or Rams...maybe the Raiders.
Best team in NFL: Patriots Well, duh!
MVP of NFL: Adrian Peterson Hard to argue except I think Tommy might be in the mix by the end of the year.
Defensive player of Year: Jerod Mayo A little homer there, I think. Maybe in a year or two, but hope you're right.
Coach of the Year: Sean Payton I'm going to default at all times to Belichick on this one before a season begins, as he is the greatest Coach in the league.
