NFL 2022 tickets
NFL Sunday Ticket provides football fans with the most efficient way to have access to any game they want through their television or mobile device.
It’s an extremely popular streaming service that is currently operated by DirecTV, but that could soon be changing, leaving spectators with plenty of questions about its future.
Like many other streaming services, DirecTV offers three different packages that include access to NFL Sunday Ticket.
Here are the three NFL Sunday Ticket price points.
- Choice – $79.99 + tax per month for 12 months
- Ultimate – $99.99 + tax per month for 12 months
- Premier – $149.99 + tax per month for 12 months
Each of the three DirecTV packages listed above includes NFL Sunday Ticket, with various other differences not related to NFL Sunday Ticket separating their price points.
Draft
The 2022 NFL Draft was the 87th edition of the National Football League’s annual draft and was held from April 28–30, 2022, at the Caesars Forum on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada.
| Overview | |
|---|---|
| 262 total selections in 7 rounds | |
| League | National Football League |
| First selection | Travon Walker, DE, Jacksonville Jaguars |
| Mr. Irrelevant | Brock Purdy, QB, San Francisco 49ers |
| Most selections (11) | Baltimore Ravens Chicago Bears Green Bay Packers New York Giants |
| Fewest selections (4) | Miami Dolphins |
The first round was held on Thursday, April 28, and was followed by the second and third rounds on Friday, April 29.
The draft concluded with rounds 4–7 on Saturday, April 30. It was the first draft to be held in Las Vegas.
The first five selections were defensive players, the second-most taken at the start of a draft after the six in 1991.
Along with the 1972 and 2000 drafts, it marked the third time defensive players were the first two picks after the first three picks in the previous year’s draft were quarterbacks.
Five Georgia defensive players were also taken during the first round, the most from an individual school in a draft.
In addition to the high number of defensive selections, nine offensive linemen were taken in the first round, the most since 2013.
Conversely, only one quarterback was selected in the first round at 20th overall, the lowest for a draft’s first quarterback since 1997, and no running backs were taken in the first round for the first time since 2014.
Predictions
This year, we have one NFC team rising to the top of the conference while the rest of the predictions focus on individual play from some of the NFL’s more polarizing figures.
The Philadelphia Eagles have been a sexy pick to win the NFC East to the point that they are now the betting favorite.
With that in mind, let’s crank up the prediction to BOLD by saying they’ll finish as the No. 1 seed in the entire NFC.
McCaffrey has been through the gauntlet the past few seasons. The star running back has been haunted by injuries that have taken out chunks of playing time over the last couple of seasons and is now looking to bounce back with a healthy campaign in 2022. And we predict he’ll do just that.
The man who has NEVER received an MVP vote in his career will have the bulk of them by the end of the 2022 regular season. Yes, Russell Wilson will be this season’s Most Valuable Player.
The star quarterback was traded to Denver Broncos this offseason and is inserting himself in an offense that is littered with top-tier weapons like wideouts Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy, and second-year running back Javonte Williams.
There doesn’t seem to be much of a gray area with Tua Tagovailoa: You either believe he’s a franchise guy or you don’t.
For me, I think he is the type of quarterback that you can build your team around and have sustainable success. Over the first two years of his career, he’s been given a raw deal that has hurt his development. In 2020, Tagovailoa entered the NFL after suffering a horrific hip injury at Alabama and then was thrust into a Dolphins offense that was built for Ryan Fitzpatrick.
