As the 2022 NFL Season is upon us, we have decided to make predictions on who we think will be the best teams in the league. We have picked the sevens teams in both the AFC and NFC that we believe will make the playoffs, as well as predicting who we think will match up in the Super Bowl and ultimately who we believe will win Super Bowl LVII.
Our 2022 NFL Season predictions will start in the AFC, with the Bills heading into the playoffs as the number one seed and looking for revenge. The number two seed will be the Russell Wilson-led Broncos. Then, at the three seed will be the Joe Burrow-led Bengals and the Mike Vrabel-coached Titans coming in at the four seed. The wildcard teams will be an always contending team and two teams coming into the season with third-year QBs; first up at five is Mahomes and the Chiefs, followed by Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins at the number six seed, with Justin Herbert and the Chargers at the seventh seed in the AFC playoffs.
In the NFC, we have the defending Super Bowl Champion Rams as the one seed, while we have Brady and the Bucs at number two. Following up, we have the Eagles again advancing to the playoffs, thanks partly to some help from newly acquired Pro Bowl receiver AJ Brown. The Davante Adams-less Green Bay Packers will be checking in at number four because Aaron Rodgers is still that guy. The NFC wildcard teams will be the Cardinals, Vikings, and 49ers, each looking to shock the world as underdogs.
In the AFC Championship game, we have the top seeds in the conference facing off with the Bills falling short once again and the Broncos getting that extra push from Russell Wilson and their dominant defense and heading to the Super Bowl. In the NFC Championship game, we have the GOAT, Tom Brady, and the Bucs playing host to Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, with the Cardinals shocking the world and getting ready to play against the Broncos at their home stadium in Arizona.
In Super Bowl LVII, we have the Denver Broncos defeating the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. We believe Russell Wilson will once again prove to the league that he is one of the all-time greats for a reason; after having no help in Seattle last season, he will now enjoy the presence of the Broncos running back duo of Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon as well as loving to throw the ball to a young wide receiver core that includes Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy.
