I don't think there is a lot of hype or talk about them. What I think you are reading into is that most media know and seen that they have been constantly in the playoffs and/or going deep in the playoffs for years. They play "winning" football....which is won in the trenches on both sides of the ball. So it's more likely to they have a good season than a bad one.
I'm mainly referring to SI picking them to win the Super Bowl and Profootballtalk.com claiming they are # 2 in their power rankings. It's the perception that they are this dominant team.
Now I agree that Baltimore is a pretty good team and have been playoff powerhouses. But I don't see why anyone thinks they are better than Green Bay, Seattle, Indianapolis, etc.
