5 Most Overrated Teams in the NFL Right Now (Week 10)

Although they may count the same, not all wins in the NFL are created equal. With week-by-week updates, which five teams are currently the most overrated?
5) Detroit Lions
Many around the football community believe the Detroit Lions (5-3) are the side to beat in the NFC. That is tough to determine accurately at this juncture, but the Lions do have aspects to address. Despite boasting the second-best offense in terms of scoring (29.9 PPG), I’m not sure if I trust Detroit’s defense down the stretch. The D here has given up 22.3 PPG, which ranks 13th overall. That’s respectable, but in divisional games in 2025, the Lions have allowed 25.0 PPG. They are also 1-2 against fellow NFC North teams right now—we’ll see if that comes back to bite them in a hyper-competitive conference.
4) Kansas City Chiefs
Everyone around the NFL respects the Kansas City Chiefs (5-4), and rightfully so. KC has reached seven consecutive AFC Championship games while also having won nine straight division titles (and counting). However, the current Chiefs group is making their road to the postseason arduous; they are currently outside the playoff picture. To make matters worse, a depleted offensive line surrendered three sacks and a whopping 15 QB hits on two-time league MVP Patrick Mahomes in their most recent outing. Despite all that, Kansas City is still the favorite to win Super Bowl LX at most shops across America, yielding six-to-one odds at FanDuel Sportsbook.
3) Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts (7-2) snapped their winning streak in Week 9, as their six turnovers in Steel City proved insurmountable. Undoubtedly, the Colts have won over many naysayers in 2025. However, I still see this group as overrated. Indianapolis’ schedule difficulty — or lack thereof — is a realistic concern. Of the Colts’ seven wins this year, only two have come against teams that currently have winning records. Additionally, they are within the bottom half of the league when it comes to total yards allowed (331.8 YPG). NFL.com has Indy at third overall on its Week-10 power rankings, and I just don’t see it that way.
2) Green Bay Packers
Despite boasting top players at most position groups, the Green Bay Packers (5-2-1) have produced multiple head-scratching performances this year. Perhaps the Pack struggles to focus when taking on inferior teams. There’s no denying that Green Bay’s defense is top-tier, but there are concerns for the offense. They have displayed explosive performances in some weeks, yet have scored fewer than 15 points in two games to date. It is tough to quantify, but this unit looks lost more often than they should. Naturally, an injury to tight end Tucker Kraft, who was leading the team in receiving yards, will not help in the slightest.
1) Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens (3-5) returned to the winner’s circle in Week 9 with a statement victory. Thankfully, two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson operated without limitation last Thursday. However, it was never Baltimore’s offense that worried me. On the other side of the ball, the Ravens’ defense has been better in recent action, but they are still surrendering 27.0 PPG right now. Additionally, they have been torched for 250.1 YPG through the air, which is a bottom-five clip ahead of Week 10. That figure raises concern, particularly given the many talented signal callers in the AFC. Regardless, FanDuel gives the Ravens -145 odds to win the AFC North this season.
