2022 RC’s Faux/Computer Simulated Season 1.0 (NFC Divisional Playoffs)

‍

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…

‍

(5) Minnesota at (1) Green Bay

Green Bay wins 55% of the simulations.

The Green Bay home field is such a factor…and that plus the bye pulls them over a game Vikings team. The Vikings have one of the two best home field advantages in the NFL, if Minny could somehow win the NFC North/get a #1 seed…

(3) Tampa Bay at (2) L.A. Rams

Tampa Bay wins 53% of the simulations.

Revenge for Tampa Bay from last season. Either team could advance here…I mean, who doesn’t think TB and LAR will be in the playoffs? When I get Brady v. Stafford in good weather conditions…I’m going Brady.

NFC Finals:

(3) Tampa Bay at (1) Green Bay
