They're over-hyped in the sense they LOVE running up the score on shit teams, which the media and casual fans also love.
They of course beat the shit out of the Chiefs in the regular season last season, but besides that? They struggled in a few games they definitely should have won or won more handily (just like the Chiefs), and really only had TB and the Titans to contend with and lost both of those games.
And the year prior they really didn't beat anyone.
They aren't a CLEAR SB favorite until they have a season as impressive as say the 2020 Chiefs. It would be impressive if they started their season at 5-2 or better with a win over the Rams and/or Chiefs, before running up the score in 9 of their last 10 games.... even though they could start 4-3 and win 9 of their last 10 against nobodies and the media will be all over them again.
