Which Non-Playoff Teams From Last Year Will Make the 2022-23 Playoffs?
The 2021-22 NFL Regular Season was weird and memorable. Cardinals were unbeaten and made the NFC playoffs. Bengals won the AFC. The Chargers (9-8), Saints ( 9-9), Vikings (8- 9), and Ravens ( 8-10) didn't make the NFL playoffs in 2021. There are 14 teams that qualify for the playoffs each year. The Steelers and the Ravens are non-Playoff teams. They have won 23 straight NFL Preseason games. If the Steelers make it to the postseason, it will be at the expense of the other non playoff teams, like the Baltimore Ravens.
The Los Angeles Chargers are not going to make the 2022-23 NFL playoffs.
Baltimore Ravens are not going to make the 2022-23 NFL playoffs.
Minnesota Vikings are not going to make the 2022-23 NFL playoffs.
The New Orleans Saints are not going to make the 2022-23 NFL playoffs.
The Los Angeles Chargers have signed a player from the non-playoff team from last year.
The Los Angeles Chargers are the current favorite to make the 2022 NFL playoffs. The team won 10 games in 2021, but lost to the Raiders in the playoffs in a game that could have been their last. Los Angles has a good chance to win the AFC West this season. The Chargers host the Chiefs in LA in week 1 and then head to Las Vegas in weeks 2 and 3. They play the Jaguars, Texans, Browns, and Broncos in Week 5 and 6. It's unlikely that all the teams from the West will make it to playoffs, except maybe the Patriots.
The Baltimore Ravens are betting on themselves to make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl LVII. The team is also betting that they will be better than last year's NFC North Division-mates Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. The Ravens were the most injured team in the NFL last season. They are also a betting team.
The Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles are discussing the NFL Top 100.
The Vikings are a team of the 2-game winning streaks last season. The Vikings had a bad Preseason (0-3) and scored just 40 points in three games. They play Green Bay in the season opener from St. Paul (4:25 ET/1:35 PT, GB -2). The NFC North was the only division not to send at least two teams to the 2021 NFC Postseason.
The Saints finished with a 9-8 record last season. The 49ers and the Eagles earned the last two spots. Tampa Bay, Green Bay and Los Angeles are expected to be good. Philadelphia, San Francisco and Arizona are still to play. New Orleans is a good team with Tom Brady. It's also a team that can't expect to lose many games to injuries.
The New Orleans Saints are playing against the Falcons on September 11th at noon CT.
There are 14 teams in the NFL, but some teams lose out because of bad play or bad luck. Being a non-Playoff team is not as fun for the Fans and for players, teams and owners. Players on NFL Wild Card winners get $37,500 for that game, Division winners snag $42,000, and a Bye in 1st Round earns $ 37,5, while Conference Champions Games fetch $65,00. Winning Super Bowl team gets an extra $150, 000, whereas losing teams get home $75, etc.
The Baltimore Ravens are expected to make the 2022-23 NFL playoffs.
