2022 Xavier Cromartie 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…
-- CAR (0-9) is the last winless team, based largely on having nothing at QB.
-- The next worst team is DET, who won against WAS but otherwise played pretty strong teams.
-- TB has turned the Big 4 into the Big 5, since they all have 7 wins.
-- CLE and LAC, with only 1 loss, appear legit, but both have a very easy schedule to start the season. (CLE is the only team to beat LAC so far.)
-- BAL went on an 0-3 cold streak against CLE, @TB, @NO. Whereas JAX went on a 3-0 hot streak against NYG, DEN, LV (all home games technically).
