The Super Bowl is expected to be held in 2022, and Vegas sports books predict that the Buffalo Bills will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It will be an AFC East title game, which means that the Buffalo Bills will be the favorites to win it. However, you can’t ignore the role of parity in the NFL, or the possibility of a dark horse. The Baltimore Ravens have bounced back from Lamar Jackson’s “bad” season, and the Cincinnati Bengals are doing just enough to make the postseason.
New teams in NFL playoffs
The NFL playoffs are coming in 2022, and there are a lot of new teams that will be involved. The AFC and NFC will both have different teams in the playoffs. The NFL Playoffs begin in mid-January, and the Super Bowl standings are on the second Sunday of February.
As of the 2021 season, the NFL will field 14 teams. Two of the spots will be reserved for wild card teams, and the other two will go to the division winners. A tie-breaker rule will determine the order of the teams in the playoffs. This will also create new opportunities for up-and-coming stars. The NFL is committed to expanding their playoffs, and this move is a great start.
With the wild-card rounds being played in the first two weeks, the schedule is almost complete. The AFC and NFC champions will face each other in the Super Bowl. The game will be played in Arrowhead Stadium, which is where the Rams play.
Teams that will make playoffs
If you’re looking for teams that will make the playoffs in the Super Bowl in 2022, you’ll have to look past the Patriots and Packers. The Steelers should be able to outperform expectations under new head coach Mike Tomlin. However, the Browns won’t make the playoffs after the suspension of quarterback Deshaun Watson. Without him, the Browns’ offense isn’t as potent.
The Washington Commanders should be able to make the playoffs, with a strong defense and a strong interior offensive line. While the Rams’ secondary has lost some talent over the offseason, they have a talented running back and a proven quarterback. While they have some question marks on offense, they should be able to finish in the top 15 in the NFC this year.
After this season, the NFL will expand its playoffs to 17 teams, up from 12 in 2010. Last year, the playoff field consisted of 14 teams. The Washington Redskins and Green Bay Packers made the playoffs by winning their divisions, while the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams made the playoffs as the 7 and 6 seeds in the NFC, respectively. The Miami Dolphins, with a 10-6 record in the AFC, didn’t make the playoffs.
Teams that will win the Super Bowl
While it is impossible to predict a Super Bowl winner, there are some teams that have a realistic chance of winning it. In the NFC, the Carolina Panthers are a good bet. After all, they won’t be eliminated from the playoffs this year and have a 1 percent chance to win the division. The Giants are another team with low expectations. Despite their lackluster start, they’ve received enough draft picks to have a legitimate chance to win the division.
The Green Bay Packers are another team that has some intriguing pieces. Despite losing Aaron Rodgers earlier this year, this team has a talented offensive core. They are an underdog in the NFC North, but they have a decent running game under A.J. Jones. They’ll be a threat to win the division, and they’re loaded with talent on the defensive side.
The Baltimore Ravens aren’t new to Super Bowl contention, but they’ve been there before. The Ravens won a game in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, which puts them atop their division. They’ll likely face the New York Giants, who have former defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.
Teams that will make the playoffs in 2022
In addition to the New England Patriots, the Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers are likely to make the playoffs this year. Both of these teams have good coaching staffs and talented players. If either of these teams makes the playoffs this year, they will be a good bet to win the Super Bowl.
Last year, the NFL playoff field consisted of 14 teams. The Washington Redskins made the playoffs by winning the division, while the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams both made the postseason as 7-seeds in the NFC. However, the Miami Dolphins were not able to make the playoffs despite a 10-6 record. After 2021, the NFL will expand its playoff field to 17 teams to increase the chance of a playoff appearance.
After missing out on the playoffs last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a good bet to make the playoffs this year under Mike Tomlin. The Browns, on the other hand, are expected to miss the playoffs because of Deshaun Watson’s 11-game suspension. Without Watson, the Browns will be a non-playoff team once Baker Mayfield takes over as quarterback.
