Final 2022 Season Prediction Thread

[stripesincarolina]

You've seen all you're going to see before the action starts on Thursday night. Peter King says we go 10-7 and lose in the Wildcard Game to the Chargers. We have the 3rd most difficult road schedule and a top 5 strength of schedule. Every game will feel like a must win. So what are your predictions and how does it unfold?

Here is the schedule:

Wk1 PITT
Wk2 @ Dal, 425
Wk3 @ NYJ
Wk4 MIA (Thur)
Wk5 @ Balt (SNF)
Wk6 @ NO
Wk7 ATL
Wk8 @ Cle (MNF)
Wk9 CAR
Wk10 Bye
Wk11 @ Pitt (SNF)
Wk12 @ Tenn
Wk13 KC, 425
Wk14 CLE
Wk15 @ TB, 425
Wk16 @ NE (Sat)
Wk17 BUFF (MNF)
Wk18 BAL (Sat or Sun

Of note, this ESPN QB Ranking prediction has to be the biggest waste of time ever. In all 17 games they have the Bengals favored and show Burrow throwing for 245-265 yards and 2 TDs.....every single game. I dont even know why I looked. Just like Peter King, its Brady, Rogers, Allen and Mahomes all the time. The rest of the league is honorable mention.

The AFC is ridiculous this year. 10-7 will miss the playoffs. We’ll need to win 11 at least

I’m not buying Baltimore. I bet only 1 team makes it out of the north to the playoffs. The west is ridiculous and the east is trash

12-5... Ls: @ Balt, @ Pitt, KC, @ TB, Buf

As someone said before the AFC is stupid talented... With that said I think we rock our this season 17-0!

No in all seriousness I think we drop one to the Browns, and we slip up for another 3 losses not sure where yet.

13-4.

Here's my best guess

Wk1 PITT - Win
Wk2 @ Dal, 425 - Win
Wk3 @ NYJ - Win
Wk4 MIA (Thur) - Loss (Primetime jinx return)
Wk5 @ Balt (SNF) - Win (we learn our lesson)
Wk6 @ NO - Win
Wk7 ATL - Win
Wk8 @ Cle (MNF) - Win
Wk9 CAR - Win
Wk10 Bye
Wk11 @ Pitt (SNF) - Win
Wk12 @ Tenn - Win
Wk13 KC, 425 - Loss
Wk14 CLE - Win
Wk15 @ TB, 425 - Win
Wk16 @ NE (Sat) - Loss (horrible game, weather impacted)
Wk17 BUFF (MNF) - Loss
Wk18 BAL (Sat or Sun) - Loss to Balt who is fighting for a wildcard

12-5. We finish the season horribly with 3 losses but we're in.
