LA Rams win NFC West in latest win projections by BetSided

Now that the 2022 schedule has been published for all 32 NFL teams, how warm and fuzzy do you feel? Well if you have all the confidence in the world, you can already start plotting ways to parlay that confidence against the uncertainty of the just-released NFL schedule to stake a wager and perhaps claim a bit of coin in the future.

Per the latest article from Peter Dewey of BitSided, the win totals below represent the 2022 NFL Win Total Predictions for Every Team (Consensus Odds). To help you out even further, I’ve resorted the projected post-schedule release win totals into a format you would more easily follow – the projected final standings.

We had posted a similar type format for projected wins, based upon NFL.com’s data analytics expert Cynthia Frelund. In both cases, the LA Rams are projected to win the NFC West once more, and the NFC West is projected to send three teams to the playoffs.

In this projection, the Dallas Cowboys are projected to win the NFC East outright, and the Minnesota Vikings slide in as the seventh-seeded NFC team to make the playoffs.
