No one wants to bet against the Bills, who are favorites in every 2022 game season right now

No one sees Human Terminator Josh Allen losing a game. How smart!

The Bills will enter the 2022 NFL season as the heavy favorite to win Super Bowl 57. Thanks to elite players like Stefon Diggs, Von Miller, and, of course, real-life “Wreck-It-Ralph” doppelgänger Josh Allen, Buffalo is undoubtedly football’s best team on paper. If the Bills don’t make it to February’s Big Game, it might send a shockwave throughout the greater NFL world.

Oddsmakers around the betting sphere seem to agree. With their full 17-game, 2022 schedule finally revealed, the market has the Bills as the favorite … in each of their games. Yes, every single one, including road battles against other AFC heavyweights like the Ravens and Chiefs.

For context, the Bills were only underdogs in three of their games last season — in two respective road games vs. the Chiefs (one in the regular season, one in the playoffs), and the third in a visit to Tom Brady and Tampa Bay.

Now they’re the unquestioned Big Bad of the NFL, and I’m not as shocked as you are. Which, you shouldn’t be all that surprised either.

Believe me when I tell you this: It is a disappointment if Buffalo doesn’t win at least 13 games in the fall. They are a razor-sharp buzzsaw personified by a football team. They genuinely have no flaws. In all three phases. In all likelihood, they will only lose on a bad bounce.

If you handed the Bills that glorious silver trophy now named for a certain legendary coach, I personally would have no reservations about such a decision. Bet against Buffalo at your own risk.

4 NFL Week 1 underdogs that are worth betting on now

Has anyone ever believed in a defending SB champ less?

The 2022 NFL season schedule has been revealed, and it does not disappoint. Marquee matchups galore. Late-season tilts between Super Bowl contender after Super Bowl contender. A few intriguing holiday battles here and there.

But while we have that, something perhaps more important has come to light: The lines for every single Week 1 regular-season game with Tipico Sportsbook. Oh, yes. It’s time to see who’s worth betting on.

Bear with me: I know the season is still four months away, and there’ll be plenty of time to place your bets. But why not prepare now? Why not be as informed as possible so you’re ready for every opening kick?

Let’s run through a few Week 1 underdogs that would be worth staking a claim on right away.

4 teams that got screwed over by the NFL’s 2022 schedule reveal (oh no, Cowboys)

Turn on your location, NFL schedule makers. These teams just want to talk.

In a long NFL season, the smallest details can make the biggest differences.

For example, a receiver steps out of bounds right before crossing the end line in the closing seconds. A quarterback under-throws a wide-open tight end in the middle of the field as his team unsuccessfully mounts a furious comeback. And, of course, there is always the regular-season slate reveal.

On Thursday evening, the NFL revealed the entire 2022 schedule. Some teams should be thanking their lucky stars that the schedule makers gave them the luck of the draw. Others? They have a legitimate bone to pick over a game order that might decide their respective seasons.

Let’s run through a few NFL teams that were most hurt by the league’s schedule reveal.

5 games that will decide the Chicago Bears’ 2022 season

We’ll learn a lot about where the Bears stand after these games.

For the first time in years, the Bears have legitimate hope at quarterback in the form of Justin Fields. The former Buckeyes star might finally be the person that both takes the Bears over the top. More importantly, he might be The Guy to help them join the modern NFL of competent offenses.

There is one caveat to Fields’ potentially simmering star: In Year 2, he’s probably going to have to do it by himself for the most part.

After the Bears decided to bolster their defense during the 2022 NFL Draft — while ignoring the addition of any premium receivers — they more or less put the offensive burden on Fields’ plate. That might be a dicey prospect for a still-developing player on a squad with a first-year head coach (Matt Eberflus).

Though, if matters break well for Chicago, they could surprise. They have a promising skeleton with up-and-coming playmakers on both sides of the ball like Roquan Smith, Darnell Mooney, and Jaylon Johnson. Whether that core amounts to anything is To Be Determined.

Here are the most important games of the Bears’ 2022 season, as Justin Fields tries to put his team, and himself, on the map.

5 games that will decide the Los Angeles Rams’ 2022 season

This title defense definitely won’t come easy for the Rams

Last year was every bit a dream season for the Rams.

After going all-in for a Super Bowl with additions of Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr., among others, it would’ve been easy for L.A. to fall short of their lofty goals. Instead, they knocked off the division-rival Cardinals, Tom Brady and the Buccaneers and the division-rival 49ers all before slamming the door shut on the Bengals in Super Bowl 56.

Sean McVay: A Super Bowl champion.

Matthew Stafford (???): A Super Bowl champion.

Of course, the Rams bring back largely the same roster as last year, and McVay and Co. will assuredly be on the hunt for a repeat. By replacing Beckham Jr. and Miller with Allen Robinson and Bobby Wagner, it would be foolish to doubt the possibility. Still, as the defending champs, everyone’s going to be gunning for the Rams more than ever.

Let’s run through some of the games that will likely come to decide a ton about the Rams’ championship defense.

10 must-watch games (Pat Mahomes vs. Tom Brady!) from the 2022 NFL season

Mahomes-Brady Part VI? Don’t mind if we do!

The 2022 NFL schedule was revealed on Thursday night, and boy was it a doozy. With the league slowly sinking its teeth into the very fabric of our existence, it’s only natural we break down every important aspect of it.

Another matchup between Super Bowl MVP quarterbacks? Yes, please!

The defending champs trying to hold onto their heavyweight belt against the entire AFC West? Oh. Oh, wow.

A certain Raven trying to make sure an AFC rival beats him nevermore? Don’t worry, I can stop the excitement at any time.

While I know you’ll want to get your football fix in spades every week, here are the 10 must-watch contests that should make for appointment viewing during this front-loaded NFL season.

The Seahawks pulled a hilarious prank on their players with a fake schedule reveal

Pete Carroll, you sly dog.

This time of year, the social departments of NFL teams usually have a lot of fun. With the 2022 NFL schedule being revealed on Thursday, these creative groups often show their team’s regular-season slate in funny ways. At this point, it might as well be a time-honored tradition around the league.

Someone evidently forgot to tell that to the Seahawks this year. As Pete Carroll and Co. begin life without Russell Wilson for the first time in a decade, they decided to have some schedule fun with their new core of players.

The Seahawks front office — Carroll included — pretended to give a few select players led by Drew Lock a “confidential” advance schedule.

And by confidential, I mean fake. A fabrication. Not real at all.

Ahhh. I can almost feel the awkwardness emanating from that video. I suppose shoutout to Carroll and the Seahawks for turning parts of the ridiculousness of the schedule reveal on its head.
