2022 Ross Jacobs Faux/Computer Simulated Season 1.0 (Weeks 13-15)
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:
--Indy and Tampa are currently the #1 seeds in their conferences at 11 wins. The Colts have already won their division
-- The Falcons are on pace for the #1 pick in the draft, but several teams are battling for #2 including the Bears, Seahawks, Texans, Jaguars, and Panthers
--Other notes of interest:
Buffalo has seized control of the AFC East and leads by 3 games.
The Ravens have done likewise in the North. The Bengals and Browns need a miracle to catch them.
The AFC West has a three-way tie at the top. Who will pull away at the end?
The Packers have the NFC North locked up.
The defending champ Rams finally have a little breathing room with a 2-game lead in the division.
Philly leads the NFC East by a game. That division is a mess.
