NFL Predictions: Division winners for the 2022 NFL Season

NFL 2022 predictions – AFC North Champion Cincinnati Bengals

The AFC North used to be a tough one to call but with almost* all of the teams missing a couple of crucial quality players, one team stands out from the rest; the Cincinnati Bengals.

We all know they did not win the Super Bowl but they put on a heck of a show making their way there. One of the reasons they lost that game was the lack of depth in the offensive line so the Bengals’ front office spent the majority of the offseason adding offensive line talent to protect Joe Burrow and give him more time to throw to his premier group of receivers. 

The Browns also have a fairly complete team except for the limbo situation they are currently in surrounding QB Deshaun Watson, who is likely to miss some if not all of the season.

The Ravens had a fantastic draft this year however Lamar Jackson has no one to throw to besides TE Mark Andrews.

The Steelers have all the pieces in place except the most important; the quarterback. Neither Mitch Trubisky nor Kenny Pickett is going to lead the Steelers to the Promised Land.

Joe Burrow and the Bengals have magnified all the issues that prevented them from winning a Lombardi, made adjustments, and are in an excellent position to take the AFC North.
