It's time for one of my favorite activities of the NFL preseason - predicting where each team will finish in the standings when the regular season wraps up. It's always a tough task, as you never really know how a team will perform on the field regardless of how they look on paper. Injuries, suspensions, and other off-the-field issues can also play a role, but I'm going to do my best to nail these standings and playoff picture despite all the potential for parity.

You can find those in the "NFL" section of the website, and while some of my predictions given in those have changed slightly over the last few weeks, those guidebooks will serve as a general guide for how I've ranked the following teams. Let's go ahead and dive into the breakdown of the league as we enter Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. 1. Los Angeles Rams (12-5 last season) |
