The 2022 NFL Season is upon us and it’s hard for us here at MIP Scouting to contain our excitement. In honor of the looming kickoff a few members of our team made some predictions as to how this year is going to play out.
Odds are most of us are going to terribly wrong on at least a handful of our predictions but that is the nature of the beast. If we were able to predict the outcome of the season at a near perfect clip, we would be in Vegas handicapping NFL games as opposed to writing for this fine publication.
So please, pull up a seat, laugh at your screen and enjoy our hopeful, bold and sometimes downright embarrassing predictions for the 2022-2023 NFL season.
