The 2022 NFL season is flying by, and it's about time we start talking about the playoff picture. It feels like just yesterday we were debating if the were still the best team in the AFC, and who would be the first head coach fired. Much has transpired in eight weeks of the regular season. There's still so much to figure out, however. When will the lose their first game? Who are the top dogs in the NFC West and NFC South? And can turn the around? With the trade deadline now in the rearview mirror, this seems like the perfect Chris Olave Jersey time to try and predict the playoff seeding following the conclusion of the regular season. Let's take a look at what the playoff picture could look like in a few months. Current AFC SeedingFinal AFC seeding1. Buffalo Bills (AFC East) 1. Buffalo Bills (AFC East) 2. Tenne see Titans (AFC South) 2. Kansas City Chiefs (AFC West) 3. Kansas City Chiefs (AFC West) 3. Baltimore Ravens (AFC North) 4. Baltimore Ravens (AFC North)4. Tenne see Titans (AFC South) 5. New York Jets 5. Miami Dolphins 6. Miami Dolphins 6. New England Patriots 7. Los Angeles Chargers 7. Los Angeles Chargers The top dogsInterestingly enough, I have the teams that currently lead their respective divisions in the AFC winning them. However, I do have the Titans dropping down to the four seed. Most will probably agree that the Bills, Chiefs and Titans win their divisions. As for the Ravens, it's true that their defense has struggled, but I really like the addition. , the Ravens have the easiest remaining schedule in the NFL. The wild cardsI have the Dolphins making the playoffs. has the highest pa ser rating in the NFL, and are a dynamic duo and then the front office went out and acquired pa s-rusher at the trade deadline. This team is all-in, and I think they have yet to play their best ball. While the Patriots have one of the tougher remaining schedules in the NFL, has quickly become one of the best running backs in the league, Rickey Jackson Jersey and the defense is solid. has not played well up to this point, but I expect him to improve. I'm also excited about rookie wideout . I don't have New England as a legitimate contender, but it could usurp the rival Jets in the playoff picture. I have the Chargers holding onto their current playoff spot when it's all said and done, although they have been disappointing to this point. L.A. was on a three-game win streak before the Week 7 lo s to the , and is now coming off its bye. Maybe Brandon Staley's squad has a strong second half of the season. The Jets, and are three other teams I'm keeping an eye on. Who got the boot?The Jets got the boot in the AFC. I'm not overreacting to the Week 8 lo s to the Patriots, because we all should have seen it coming. New York's winning formula is running the ball effectively and playing defense. With out for the year and newly acquired still getting up to speed, more pre sure was going to be placed on quarterback Sunday -- figuratively and literally. When Wilson feels pre sure, things get ugly. He's only completed 9-of-47 attempts under pre sure this season, has been sacked more times than he has completed a pa s when under pre sure, is the only quarterback in the NFL to complete fewer than 30 percent of his pa ses under pre sure and averages an NFL-worst 3.0 yards per attempt under dure s. He completed 48 percent of his pa ses for 355 yards, two touchdowns and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson Jersey three interceptions last week, but it looked much worse than the stat line indicates. With New York's offensive line injuries, this may be a trend we see more of moving forward -- unle s Wilson develops in a hurry. The Jets had a great start to the season and will be in the running for a playoff spot until the end. Ultimately, I think they mi s out on the postseason. Current NFC SeedingFinal NFC seeding1. Philadelphia Eagles (NFC East) 1. Philadelphia Eagles (NFC East) 2. Minnesota Vikings (NFC North) 2. Minnesota Vikings (NFC North) 3. Seattle Seahawks (NFC West) 3. San Francisco 49ers (NFC West) 4. Atlanta Falcons (NFC South)4. New Orleans Saints (NFC South) 5. Dallas Cowboys5. Dallas Cowboys6. New York Giants6. Seattle Seahawks7. San Francisco 49ers7. New York GiantsThe top dogsI have the Eagles edging out the Cowboys in the NFC East, powering the 49ers past the Seahawks in the NFC West, the Vikings holding onto the NFC North and then the Saints shocking everyone by winning the NFC South! What went into my decision? The Saints currently have the No. 5 overall offense, as they average 394.4 yards of total offense per game. leads what is by far the best offense in the entire division, and he's been doing it without and . That is remarkable. The Saints defense hasn't been impre sive so far this season, but I predict that changes. Last week against the , they didn't allow the opposing offense to cro s midfield until Tanoh Kpassagnon Jersey two minutes were left in regulation. Think about that. The NFC South is wide open with the Saints, Falcons and, of course, the Bucs. I'll go out on a limb and choose New Orleans. The wild cards and the Seahawks have been arguably the biggest surprise in the NFL this season. They are currently the only team in the NFC West with a winning record, but I'll knock them down to a wild-card spot due to McCaffrey's potential impact in San Fran. The Cowboys should make it in with back in the saddle, and then I'll give the final wild-card spot to the Giants. We are about halfway through the 2022 regular season, and the G-Men have double the victories of everyone outside the current playoff picture minus the 4-4 . is back to elite status, the defense has improved behind Wink Martindale and the team just doesn't beat itself. The Giants have won four games while trailing in the fourth quarter this season. That ranks No. 1 in the league. The Bucs, Falcons, and are other teams in the NFC I will continue to Marquez Callaway Jersey watch. Who got the boot?The Falcons got the boot in the NFC. They are tied in having the best against-the-spread record this season and are currently fifth in the NFL in rushing yards per game (158). I like Arthur Smith, but this offense doesn't like pa sing the ball, and the defense is still suspect. and Co. absolutely could win the NFC South, but I think I like the Saints more at this juncture.
