NFL picks 2022: Full list of Week 1 predictions with confidence levels

The 2022 NFL season is upon us as the Super Bowl champion Rams host the Bills on Thursday's “” contest. It's always odd how they refer to the Thursday opener as an SNF game given the NBC broadcast, but it's not worth thinking too hard about.

The start of the season means we're back with straight-up picks for Week 1 of the regular season. We pick each game's winner, and then slot the picks based on confidence levels – high, medium, low, and no. A game with three asterisks (***) after it indicates a game where I'm picking the betting underdog to get the win. We're a little light on outright upsets this week, so we'll see how ugly my picks get.
