2022 RC’s Faux/Computer Simulated Season 1.0 (Weeks 4-6)
INTRO:
(Same intro everyday) Four analysts are running their own early models of the 2022 NFL season, as we know it today – looking at the current teams/rosters/starters/depth mixed with the schedule layout.
We will release the simulation results and short commentaries three weeks at a time (Weeks 1-3, 4-6, etc.) by each analyst daily -- and then each analyst will simulate their playoffs all the way up to crowning their early Super Bowl champ. This is pre-work looking for/searching and sharing possible great Over/Under win total bets ahead of the crowd.
The analysts have not seen each other’s simulations…they’ll be seeing them for the first time as the reports release daily for the next 12 days.
Your 2022 Faux 1.0 Analyst Lineup:
Ross Jacobs, FFM analyst (every 8am ET for the entire series)
Xavier Cromartie, long-time contributor/NFL Draft guru (every noonET)
Chris Bilello, Bet the Close Podcast (every 4pmET)
RC Fischer, FFM analyst (every 8pmET)
Hope you enjoy this two-week daily series…it’s all the analyst’s favorite project – one that totally consumes them and drives them mad working on it all, trying to predict the unpredictable…then a major injury will hit in July and/or August and blow all the theories and models all up. But for now, here’s what the analysts are seeing…
-- The Bills (4-2) were solo in last in my prior report (Weeks 1-3), but reeled off three wins-in-a-row to jump into a 1st-place tie with New England (4-2)…with NYJ and MIA just a game behind at (3-3).
-- The Bengals (4-2) and Titans (3-2) maintain their early leads in their respective divisions.
-- The Chargers (5-1) have the best record in the AFC and lead Denver (4-2) and KC (4-2) by a game in the AFC West. KC is sitting (3-3).
-- Green Bay (4-2) wins three in-a-row to pull into a tie with MIN (4-2) atop the NFC North…with the surprising Lions (3-2) just a half game back.
-- The 49ers (5-1) very favorable early schedule has them out to the early NFC West lead over (4-2) LAR.
-- The Bucs (5-1) are the other NFC top team…with a three-game lead already over the pathetic NFC South.
-- Worst records in the NFL? Pittsburgh and Jacksonville (1-5).
