This is it. The final week of the 2021-22 NFL regular season. The first Week 18 in NFL history. I’m going to be predicting some games that mean something. Here we go.
Chiefs vs. Broncos: Chiefs win 30-14
The Chiefs need some things to go their way in order to get the #1 seed, but I believe they can do it. Patrick Mahomes has tortured the Broncos his entire career, and this game should be no different.
Seahawks vs. Cardinals: Cardinals win 33-10
This isn’t the tricky part for the Cardinals to win the NFC West. The tricky part is relying on San Francisco to beat Los Angeles, which I don’t think they will.
49ers vs. Rams: Rams win 26-21
The Rams are loaded with talent and are one of the most dominant teams in the league. Sorry, 49ers fans, but your season ends here.
Jets vs. Bills: Bills win 35-13
The Bills are way, way better than the Jets. I think they will beat them and take the AFC East Crown.
Patriots vs. Dolphins: Patriots win 23-9
Unless the Jets somehow beat the Bills, this game won’t matter as much as the Patriots hope it will. Moving on.
Chargers vs. Raiders: Chargers win 23-20
The final game of the season is a winner-take-all game. I think this will come down to a game-winning field goal for the Chargers, which they make and advance to the playoffs. I do like Justin Herbert, too.
That’s the end of my predictions for the regular season! But this isn’t the overall finale. This will continue into the playoffs.
