Ty's 2022 NFL Preview - Doing an Awesome Keg Stand at a Tailgate Party Division

Welcome to day seven of my 2022 NFL countdown. We are finally at the true contenders. Each team has a real shot to win it all this season.

At number 8 I have the Baltimore Ravens. I am a little scared of this team screwing up come playoff time, but maybe this is the season they put it all together. They have the QB to do it. Lamar Jackson is incredible. He is my favorite QB to watch play. He is so dynamic and so good. I know RD wishes the Vikings kept that pick and got Jackson instead of what they are left with now. He is amazing. Now it is time to put it together when it matters most. If JK Dobbins can finally stay healthy, he is the type of back to perfectly compliment Jackson. Gus Edwards isn't half bad either. Unfortunately they traded Hollywood Brown. That is a true bummer. But I have a ton of faith in Rashod Bateman. He was awesome in college and I feel like he is going to put it together. I also like Devin Duvernay. Mark Andrews is one of the best tight ends in the league. And this O line would be a dream to run behind. They are great. The D is not as feared as once before, but it is still very good. Patrick Queen is awesome. Marcus Peters is one of the best safeties in the league. Calais Campbell is a beast on the D line. Marlon Humphrey is a very competent corner. This team is very, very good. They had an off year, but I think they will make up for that this season. I see 12 wins.

At number 7 I have the Green Bay Packers. Look, this is my team, but I openly despise Aaron Rodgers. I loathe him. I wish he would shut his mouth forever. He is a dangerous lunatic. He has an emotional problem. He needs real help. And he is older. And Davante Adams is gone. He is going to have to up his play once again this season. But man do I hate this guy. The backfield is in good hands. They need more touches. Aaron Jones is a legit threat running and catching the ball. AJ Dillon is a load to take down when he gets moving. They make for a great duo. I mentioned that Adams is gone. He is replaced by Sammy Watkins, who may get cut, Randall Cobb, who is old and Allen Lazard, who has not done much in the NFL so far. I do like the young dudes though. Romeo Doubs has massive potential, Amari Rodgers is a full year in and Christian Watkins looks like he could be lethal. The O line is pretty damn good. They can play. The D has also gotten better. It was not their fault the 49ers beat them in the playoffs last year. Rashan Gary keeps getting better and better. Preston Smith is still amazing. De'Vondre Campbell is pretty damn good. Jaire Alexander is a lockdown corner. I love Darnell Savage. Adrian Amos still has it. The Packers have a solid team. The offense needs to step up though. I see 12 wins and an easy division win.

At number 6 we've got the Los Angeles Chargers. Will this finally be the year they put it all together? Sure seems so, at least on paper. Justin Herbert is a legit NFL QB. He can do it all. Austin Ekeler is a do it all dynamo out of the backfield. Keenan Allen is amazing. So is Mike Williams. The O line is very, very good. The defense is great too, and they traded for Khalil Mack. He is still one of the best linebackers in the league. Joey Bosa can eat it. He is as bad as his brother. Screw that guy. Kenneth Murray Jr was great in college. Maybe that will translate. Derwin James just got paid and he is as good as they get. Nasi Adderly is solid. The Chargers have all the potential in the world. They just need to figure it out. They should win 12 games this season, and maybe the playoffs will go better this season.

The final team for the day, at number 5 I have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tom Brady flirted with retirement, but came back. He hasn't been with the team much this offseason, but it seems like he is back now. Todd Bowles is now the head coach, and I like this promotion for him. He is a good coach. Leonard Fournette is back and he keeps getting bigger and better every offseason. Mike Evans is one of the best receivers in the league. Chris Godwin is a great number two wideout. Cameron Brate is a solid replacement at tight end. The O line is pretty, pretty damn good. The defense, which is Bowles' specialty, is very solid. Vita Vea is an awesome interior D lineman. Devin White is an amazing linebacker. Lavonte David and Shaquil Barrett make this one of the best linebacking corps in the league. Antoine Winfield Jr is an awesome defensive back. Mike Edwards is solid as well. The Bucs are a good team. They have pedigree and the best QB to ever play in the NFL. They will be a perennial threat. 12 wins and another division title and playoff appearance are definitely in play.

That is it for today. Come back tomorrow for my final four teams.
