2022 NFL Season Preview: Team by Team opponents for each game
With the topsy-turvy 21/22 campaign almost at an end, we take a look at the match ups for the coming season in case you wanted to know!
With the NFL post season well underway and more over heading towards the Super Bowl, it may seem a bit premature to be looking ahead to the 2022/23 season, however, with the way things have played out in this campaign as well as the kind of player and coach movement that we're likely to see once the dust settles, perhaps there has never been a better time. Join us as we give you a break down of each and every team heading into the next season, along with who their opponents will be and where exactly they play against them.
To start things off, let's take a look at the AFC. While things have more or less gone according to the script this season with the Chiefs out front and the rest following behind, the reality is there were definitely some bumps along the way. The result of that is we now have several teams - the Steelers and Raiders to name two - that will be in rebuild mode when the offseason arrives. With that in mind, expect some plot twists when the new season begins.

On we go to the NFC. As with the AFC, there were some scenarios that were par for the course. The Packers ended up as the No.1 seed which is to say, no surprise. On the other hand the Buccaneers still look to be championship material. At any rate there are now several teams in the conference who will more than likely be in the market for a new quarterback, as well as others who are looking at a complete overhaul - sorry Jacksonville. The point is the NFC is going to be very interesting when the new campaign rolls around.
