Risky Predictions: The 2022-2023 NFL ‘Bold Predictions’
John Estevez (@JuanEstevez90)
Patrick Mahomes, upgraded
Logic would indicate that the numbers of Patrick Mahomes they will have a bassoon the 2022 season after losing the Chiefs’ top wide receiver, Tyreek Hill. However, it’s never wise to bet against someone as talented as the Kansas City QB. Prophecy: will finish the season with more yards (4,839) and touchdowns (37) than last seasonmaking the most of his arrival Ju Ju Smith-Schuster Y Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
Justin Jefferson will be close to Calvin Johnson’s record
The Vikings wide receiver is already considered one of the best in the league at his position, but he should benefit from a coaching change from Minnesota and a much more pass-oriented offense. The arrival of Kevin O’Connell (former Rams offensive coordinator) makes us think of Jefferson in a role similar to what he was able to accomplish cooper kupp to the star in 2021
What could this improvement mean? Start watching Justin Jefferson threaten the history books. Currently, the season with the most yards by a receiver was Calvin Johnson’s in 2012, with 1964. To overcome it, the young Vikings running back should average just over 115 yards in 17 games. Impossibility? No way.
This will be the year of Tom Brady’s decline
Nothing riskier than betting against Tom Brady. At some point, however, time will wear on the 45-year-old quarterback, who is coming off a strange preseason with 10 days away from team practice. In addition, injuries to Ryan Jensen, Tampa Bay’s starting center, and Aaron Stinney, one of the guards, will lead to the reception of former Patriots much more frontal pressure than usual. A truly dangerous combinationbeyond the fact that he is, perhaps, the best quarterback of all time.
Missing a mark for the Titans
Tennessee finished last season with the best AFC record (12 wins, 5 losses), but just one year later, not only would they not make the playoffs, but they would end up with a losing record. Doubts in his position general after retirement Malik Willisthe outputs of two receivers such as AJ Brown Y Julius Joneshis recent injury Harold Landry… Everything will conspire for a good year for the Titans, who could finish with just 6 or 7 wins.

Miami Dolphins, bound for the playoffs
It’s clear that Tua Tagovailoa Is not Dan Marino. Although he has the stuff around him to get Florida’s team back to the playoffs. His arrival Tyreek Hill it will enhance an offense that you will also enjoy chase Edmonds, Jaylen Waddle, Cedric Wilson Y Mike Gesicki. The defense, led by Emmanuel Ogbah Y Xavien Howardyou should do your part. Miami hasn’t made the postseason since 2015-2016.
Best Jets record in 7 years
In the 2015-2016 season, New York Jets reached 10 wins in the regular season and was close to the playoffs. In the Big Apple they were excited about major achievements, but went downhill: all campaigns with a negative record, included 2-14, 2020. However, New York will once again have a winning team under his direction Zach Wilson. The last time they were in the playoffs was in 2010-2011. Do they repeat themselves? There is already enough risk to indicate that they will have a positive year…
No party on the west coast
Los Angeles Rams he is the defending champion and kept a good part of the foundations that led him to glory. But this will not be the year of the Angels. As none of the other teams in the region: Los Angeles Chargers Y San Francisco 49ers. Vince Lombardi will move towards the coast.
Chris Olave will break Michael Thomas’ record
I am doing bold predictions It’s all about risky predictions, right? And wow, that’s it. Chris Olave He was selected as the third best WR of the last Draft (11th), but his talent will be tested in the big leagues. Despite having a limited QB such as James Winstonhe with Latin roots will experience a luxurious season surpassing his rookie campaign Michael Thomaswho finished 2016 with 1,137 yards.
If he succeeds, Olave will enter the all-time top 10 (Thomas’ record is ninth). The record among rookies belongs Bill Gromanwho signed it in 1960 (1,473). Ja’Marr Chasewith the Cincinnati Bengals, he finished close in 2021 finishing with 1,455.

The Detroit Lions will be in the playoffs
I believe in their age Dan Campbell in detroit a little early? Maybe, but the NFC is wide open in 2022 after some major quarterback changes around the league. That would open the door for a team like the Lions to pull off a surprise run in the playoffs.
The Lions have some holes on defense, but their offense should be stronger than most expect. They have a top five offensive line when healthy and a plethora of weapons around Jared Goffincluding Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark, TJ Hockenson Y D’Andre Swift. Add first-round pick Jameson Williams to the mix, and this offense could do enough to slip into seventh place in the weaker of the NFL’s two conferences.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will return to the postseason
The Steelers will make the playoffs led by the rookie QB Kenny Pickettwhich the new receiver will bypass George Pickens for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Pickett and Pickens will become the latest exciting combination in the league as Pittsburgh’s offense propels the team to another winning season under his leadership Mike Tomlin and a well-deserved wild card spot in the AFC.
Justin Jefferson will reach 2,000 yards
Justin Jefferson he will thrive in the new, more aggressive Minnesota Vikings offense under his command Kevin O’Connellchanneling what cooper kupp he did in 2021 for a historic 2022 season.
Justin Herbert will join the 50 Club
In his third year with the Los Angeles Chargers, QB Justin Herbert You will have a dream season. Herbert is embarking on an unprecedentedly productive run in his career and has yet to reach his ceiling. Playing in the AFC West will put you in rare company Tom Brady, Peyton Manning Y Patrick Mahomes among those with at least 50 TDs.
