2022 Ross Jacobs Faux/Computer Simulated Season 1.0 (Weeks 7-9)
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 report’s 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…
Ross’s Notes:
--After nine weeks we're seeing a lot of parity. Nobody is standing out as head and shoulders above the rest.
–The best record in the league belongs to the Colts at 7-2. They are sitting on a huge four game lead in the division already .
–The Packers are the only other division leader more than a single game ahead. They are two in front of the Vikings.
--The worst team so far is the Falcons at 1-8. The Texans are right behind them at 1-7. Things are looking bleak for both
--Other notes of interest:
The AFC West is so loaded. The Chiefs and Raiders lead the way with 6 wins each, but every team in the division has a winning record. Who will pull it out?
Baltimore and Cincy have pulled ahead in the AFC North but Watson and the Browns loom. The Steelers are keeping pace so far. Can they remain in the race?
With half the season done the Patriots are tied for last in the AFC East with the Jets. Will they turn things around?
