NFC EAST PREDICTIONS FOR THE 2022 SEASON
By Gary Greene
Well as the season gets underway tonight in the NFL for another brand new season for this week and maybe the first few weeks every Fan base is saying “So you are saying we have a chance”??? Nothing better than a new start each year. For me personally I don’t expect my favorite team, Washington, to make it to the Super Bowl, but since I have won at the highest and elite level picking NFL games the past 10 years Against the Spread betting will always be my first happiness over rooting for my favorite team.
Of course making Predictions to start a new season when it comes to Football (over all other Sports) is always dependent on teams I am predicting high up to avoid serious injuries. But let’s have a little fun and see if we can’t kick some butt with our Predictions.
KEY NOTE: All NFC teams this year will be playing 9 Home games and all AFC teams will be playing only 8 Home games out of 17.
First let’s look at the NFC EAST for the 2022 Season:
NFC EAST
1). PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: I loved their Draft and adding stud WR AJ Brown to already solid WR D. Smith should give QB Hurts two solid weapons. Plus it’s always smoother when it’s a Head Coaches second year and I expect things to mesh on both sides of the ball to win the East over most everyone else’s pick of Dallas. The Eagles thanks to a great draft now have strong depth, especially on Defense. I don’t expect QB Hurts to become elite this season, but his legs pose a threat that will open up the now loaded Passing attack. Eagles one of my most improved teams in NFL! (10 WINS)
2). DALLAS COWBOYS: Offensive Line already posing a huge threat to a big season. Add to that one of worst HC’s in the NFL and a very average WR corps and this is a recipe for disaster as it will take a huge effort to repeat (+14) turnovers from last year. Good news for Dallas fans is they play 3rd easiest schedule vs. heavy Passing teams this year. Roster has less depth than last year and will start short 2 of their best 3 WR’s. Loss of stud LT T. Smith will be impossible to overcome. They also will play a league high 5 games with more rest than their opponent. Second place is where they end up. (9 WINS)
3). WASHINGTON COMMANDERS: Worst (and all time more over rated) HC in the league. Another retread at QB. They did get much better at WR’s group as Samuel healthy, Rookie first round pick Dotson the best player in Preseason and should get another good season from an under rated OL. Stud DE Chase Young will miss first 4 games and LB group very weak. Secondary has look to be improved. Good news is they play the 3rd easiest schedule in the NFL. The steal of Draft (RB Robinson) getting shot continued a forever trend of bad injury luck. (8 WINS)
4). NY GIANTS: New HC Daboll will change their losing ways, but not likely this season as this team had so many holes, especially at OL. Can QB Jones finally prove he is a “keeper”? I say no. I can’t see enough OL improvement and this WR group isn’t scaring anyone. The good news here is they play the easiest schedule in the entire NFL, one that should keep from a worst record overall. They also possess a rest advantage in 3 of their final 9 games. (6 WINS)
