Top Pick
From the Raiders' unexpected 2-5 record after trading for Davante Adams, to Brian Daboll's success in his first season as Giants head coach, it seems anything can happen during an NFL season. With unpredictable twists and turns lying ahead over the rest of 2022 campaign, here are some bold predictions that could come true by year’s end.
Derek Carr Will Be Benched
Despite signing a lucrative three-year extension, Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders have been having a rough time this season. With major additions on offense like Josh McDaniels as head coach and Davante Adams, it had looked promising heading into the year - yet they have gone 2-5 with 0 wins in one score games. Last week was their lowest of lows when they were shut out 24-0 by New Orleans Saints; Carr's stats being just over 101 yards and no touchdowns along with an interception while taking 3 sacks made for quite the dismal performance.
Kliff Kingsbury Will Be Fired Before End of Season
Despite promising 4-7 finish to the 2021 season and an 11-6 overall record that resulted in a playoff appearance, Steve Keim isn't hesitating to hit the reset button. The Cardinals are squandering their 3-5 start as they struggle through much of 2022, resulting in Matt Rhule being dismissed from his head coaching role within weeks; Kliff Kingsbury may not be far behind him. With Kyler Murray locked into a contract extension worth $230 million until 2028 however, management doesn't have many options on how to shake up this declining atmosphere anytime soon.
Tyreek Hill Will Become First 2,000-Yard Receiver
The Miami Dolphins' acquisition of wide receiver Tyreek Hill has paid off tremendously. With an impressive 69 receptions and 961 receiving yards, the former Kansas City Chief is leading the league in both categories - on track to break Calvin Johnson's single season record for most receiving yards (1,964) from 2012. His chemistry with fellow teammate Jaylen Waddle puts them both at No. 1 & 2 respectively when it comes to catches made over 10+ yard throws according PFF stats - making their combination a force not easily reckoned with this season!
