The 2022 NFL Playoffs are going to be much more exciting than last season knowing that a couple of ‘underdogs’ are playing better than ever and they are likely to make the playoffs and probably play in Super Bowl LVII.

Unfortunately during this season the defending champions, Los Angeles Rams, will not be able to defend their title since due to their losing record it is almost impossible for them to reach the playoffs.

Most of the big favorites are struggling to reach the playoffs, some will not be there, as is the case of the Green Bay Packers who are struggling to win games.
