We have had enough time to justify every single upcoming scenario for the 2022 NFL season. Every team has been a sleeper, a favorite, a long shot and a lock. Every quarterback has been overrated, underrated and properly rated. Every head coach has been both a reason for a team's certain failure and a guarantee for a team's success.
Now it's time to find out how it's actually going to play out on the field.
But before we get to the games, I have to offer my own NFL predictions. Officially, on the record.
So here are my division winners, wild card teams, conference championship teams, Super Bowl matchup, Super Bowl winner and MVP. But first, the good stuff, my Top 5 Bold Predictions for the 2022 NFL season.
