Hard to argue with the Giants. They have looked like crap these last few weeks yet because they play lesser opponents they win. They're 9-4 but they've played such "Super Bowl contenders" like Atlanta, San Francisco, Miami, Philadelphia, Chicago, my Jets, Detroit, and Washington. Yeah, not exactly the New England Patriots.
By the way, I met a Giants fan who told me (a Jets fan) "The Patriots are OVER-RATED!" and I said "Well, I think the Giants are overrated." and he said "NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! ARE YOU KIDDING?!"

it's the Giants. the Steelers to a small caliber. you know without a doubt the Steelers are a top team, but they are not among the elite. the Pats, Colts, Cowboys, and Packers can all beat them. the steelers are solid, but when you lose to bad teams like the Jets (no offense), it hurts. the Giants on the other hand simply haven't beaten anyone. they had 2 chances against the Cowboys, and lost both times. they had their chance against Green Bay in week 2 when GB was just starting up, but GB annihilated them 35-13 in NY. every single team the Giants have beaten this year has a losing record right now. the Giants simply have not beaten a solid team yet. so yes, the Giants are very overrated.

It is tough to argue with the Giants. The Cowboys have a similar schedule, and have played the Giants twice as well, so I think they are a tad bit overrated. Granted, their only loss came to New England. I'm not saying they are not a great team (the Giants most definitely are not a great team) but I don't think they are a lock for the Superbowl. And if they do get there, I can't believe they have much of a chance to win it.
The Patriots are also not Gods. They are a great team, but not invincible. I think the game last night would have been a lot closer if the Steelers had Polomalu in the game. I think on both the plays the Steelers safeties over-pursued, they were trying to provide a run-stopping/play-making force like Polomalu. Because of that, and the experience that was last night, I give Pittsburgh a decent shot at beating the Patriots in the playoffs.
I think the Giants are still the most-overrated, but the Cowboys are close.

I think the Saints are the most overrated team in the NFC, with the NY Giants being a close second. And the Bengals are the most overrated team in the AFC, with the Chargers being a close second.
New Orleans was picked by "experts" to contend for the Super Bowl after the season they had last year. Now, they'll be lucky to make the playoffs. Eli Manning (AKA Jughead) is highly inconsistent and isn't worthy of holding Peyton's jock strap. Maybe it's more that Eli is overrated than the Giants are. But, a team usually goes as it's quarterback goes.
The Bengals have some of the most recognizeable names on their offense, yet they can't get together consistently enough to win (or their defense betrays them and they lose 56 to 51 to the Browns).
After a 14-2 season, despite a one-and-done playoff appearance last season, lots of people - even outside of San Diego - claimed that the Chargers were the team to beat in the AFC this year. After starting the season 1 - 3, they are back to a respectable 8 - 5 and one Denver loss away from clinching the AFC West for the second straight year. But, they would probably be struggling to make the playoffs if they weren't in arguably the weakest division in the NFL.

Hard to argue with the Giants, the 3 teams they played with winning records, Dallas twice and Green Bay, and none of those games were really that close. The Packers ran all over the Giants and that was when the Packers were still the worst rushing team in the NFL.

Yea I was thinking the Steelers but only because the Giants slipped my mind. They play with an undeserving swagger, Eli manning seems not to really care or improve as a QB after 4 seasons or he simply can't and is destined to be mediocre, and their much vaunted "defense" is really just a quick pass-rush that is easily defeated by a real O-Line i.e. Cowboys.

Yeah, you got a fellow Jet-fan with you right here.
Giants are way overrated. Kellen Clemens blows away Eli and his turnover-happy ways.
Go Jets!

I love how everybody says "The Steelers...as proven yesterday" They played the Patriots! Everybody loses to the Patriots! Dallas lost to the Patriots by as much as the Steelers did.

I agree. The Giants are the most overrated.
You will have some say NE...because they are anti-NE
Some will say Dallas...anti-Dallas
But to answer the question honestly, the Giants would be my answer.
ok..now gotta say: HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!
Cowboys vs Indy in the Super Bowl (I think Indy will beat NE in AFC championship game...just a prediction..no reasoning behind it)
