Predictions are easy to make and tough to defend. Even the most prescient fan, analyst, or expert often makes wildly inaccurate predictions about how the NFL season is going to unfold, and we’re definitely no exception. We also, either by smarts or good fortune, sometimes nail those predictions.
With that in mind and the bye week giving us a little leisure time, I’ve asked the staff here at The Falcoholic to look back at their record predictions and give us both their best and worst prediction for the 2022 season thus far. Let’s get to it.
Record prediction: 7-10
Best prediction: Tyler Allgeier will lead the team in rushing
Worst prediction: The defense will be significantly improved
I still have faith the Falcons will deliver a 7-10 record—they’ve been unbelievably shaky for the better part of two months now and still almost won multiple games they ultimately lost—but not a lot of faith that the defense is going to find its footing.
