Broncos, Vikings highlight Colin’s final revisions in their 2022 predictions
Colin Cowherd made the final revision to his 2022 NFL predictions.
AFC East
buffalo bill (12-5)
miami dolphins
new England Patriots
New York Jets
Colin’s thoughts: “I stick with what I believe. Zack Wilson is out for a month, so I feel even stronger about this prediction. The Dolphins make their way to the playoffs.”
AFC Answer
Cincinnati Bengals (10-7)
Baltimore Ravens
Pittsburgh Steelers
Cleveland Browns
Colin’s thoughts: “I think it will be a Bengals-Ravens division. If it’s the Ravens first, then the Bengals, so be it. But I think the Bengals become a playoff team. In an arms league, they stack up. The Ravens will chase the playoffs until the final week of the season.”
AFC West
Denver Broncos (11-6)
Kansas City Chiefs
Los Angeles Chargers
Las Vegas Raiders
Colin’s thoughts: “Best division in football, hard to argue. Everyone can make the playoffs. The Broncos, Chiefs and Chargers make the playoffs. The Raiders are late looking for the playoffs, but I don’t like the backend of their defense. I guess That Denver would be the Tampa Bay of a few years ago. You just don’t get how good their roster is until you look at it with a good quarterback.”
AFC South
Indianapolis Colts (10-7)
Tennessee Titans
jacksonville jaguars
Houston Texans
Colin’s thoughts: “Weak division, but keep your eye out for the Jags that surprised some. The Titans lost their best pass rusher, their offensive line is a bit messy, and they lost their top receiver. The Colts are ugly and short of winning Scoring a lot.”
NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles (10-7)
Dallas Cowboys
New York Giants
Washington Commanders
Colin’s thoughts: “I’ll stick with it. I thought Washington had a really bad off-season. The Eagles have the best roster, the best pace, and the best off-season. Dallas’ offensive line is bad – at least until Tyrone Smith doesn’t come back.”
NFC Answer
Minnesota Vikings (13-4)
green Bay Packers
Detroit Lions
Chicago Bears
Colin’s thoughts: “I’ve been saying this for months – Minnesota shocks the league, is the 13th-run team and wins the division. I think they stack up on the offensive, and they’re better on defense with Zadarius Smith The Packers don’t have a No. 1 receiver.”
NFC West
Los Angeles Ramso (12-5)
San Francisco 49ers
Arizona Cardinals
Seattle Seahawks
Colin’s thoughts: “The Rams are going to win it, and the Seahawks are in last place. The Niners and the Cardinals – I want to see it. Kyler Murray doesn’t have a helping hand like Trey Lance. The Niners and Cardinals will both be in the playoffs.”
NFC South
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-7)
New Orleans Saints
Carolina Panthers
Atlanta Falcons
Colin’s thoughts: “I think the Buccaneers have real issues on the offensive line. They are not a dominating team – they are a playoff team. The Saints will play the Buccaneers tightly, but Jameis Winston is someone who makes a lot of mistakes.”
