Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Season 10 of my NFL picks.
When I started making picks in 2013, things were different. Tom Brady was one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, the Bengals were coming off a division title and the 49ers were on the cusp of getting rid of a quarterback who had just led them to an NFC title game. Wait, did I say things were different? Because I guess I meant that things are actually still exactly the same.
The only difference between now and then is that we now know there are psychedelic drugs in South America that can help you win MVP (thanks to Aaron Rodgers for that knowledge). You can judge Rodgers all you want for taking ayahuasca, but I’m not going to judge him for going on a South American drug bender and that’s mainly because I’ve done some of my best work after doing weird things in South America.
Rodgers might have reached a higher level of spiritual consciousness this offseason, but I do not think he’ll be reaching the highest level in of the NFL, AKA I will not be picking his team to win the Super Bowl this year.
So who am I going to pick?
That’s a great question and you can find the answer by clicking here to see my predictions for the entire 2022 NFL season. If you click over, you’ll see my final record predictions for all 32 teams plus who I’m picking to make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. If the game was being played in the astral realm, I’d pick the Packers to win it all, but it’s not, it’s being played in Phoenix.
Anyway, before we get to the Week 1 picks, I have good news for the nine of you who emailed in and demanded to CBS that I do more this season. Not only will I be writing this weekly picks column, but I’ll also be podcasting a lot this year. As a matter of fact, you should go ahead and circle every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday on your calendar from now until February, because that’s when I’ll be joining Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson on the Pick Six Podcast (Click here to check it out). If that’s still not enough of me, I’ll also be joining CBS Sports HQ every Tuesday morning (8:45 a.m. ET) from now until February to talk about my weekly picks, so remember to set your alarm and be sure to bookmark this link so you can watch online.
Alright, I think that’s enough self-promotion for now, let’s get to the picks.
