1. There is good reason to believe the Miami Dolphins improve on both offense and defense in 2022 - but whether or not it shows right away, is to be seen.

2. The replacement of Brian Flores - a defensive minded coach - with Mike McDaniel is a massive upgrade for this team. The San Francisco/Shanahan style of offense is going to go a long way in opening up this Dolphins offense. The hiring of the Chargers run game coordinator and tendencies of the SF playbook suggest a much higher run rate.

3. The staple of that offense is opening up receivers downfield in space. Tua for all he is criticized for, is extremely accurate. Now that he has receivers open in space, behind an above average offensive line, he is going to have a lot of success.

4. There is a lot to be excited about when it comes to the skill talent too. Hill, Wilson, Waddle, Gesicki, Williams. This offense is loaded! A strong backfield too. Everything points up here.

5. Where this gets interesting is the schedule difficulty goes up too, way up. Miami moves from the fourth easiest schedule last season, to eight most difficult this seaosn. A huge leap that is front loaded. Miami may end up still being under rated by the end of September. Lots of betting potential here.

1. Washington could be VERY different in 2022 which I am unsure the markets are fully accounting for.

2. Make no mistake about it, Carson Wentz has accuracy issues. This is not a secret. But, he is much more willing and able of pushing the ball downfield compared to the last 5-6 starting QB's Washington has had. With McLaurin, Dotson, Brown and Samuel, that could unlock this offense.

3. Offensive coordinator Scott Turner is sneaky underrated, and puts his guys in positions to succeed. The offensive line is solid, and the run game support will be there to make life easy for Wentz.

4. No team faces a bigger change in strength of schedule in 2022 than Washington. They go from the most difficult in 2021 to the 7th easiest projected schedule in 2022. This team will be better on both sides of the ball.

5. The kicker in all of this is ultimately Wentz. If he can play to the level of an average quarterback, the weapons are there for this team to do well. If he is Wentz of old, this team may struggle to win 7 games and he won't finish the season. It's really that simple. But as is, I just don't think the market is accounting for the offensive upside here.

1. I love when a team makes the shift from a defensive minded head coach to an offensive minded head coach. The Minnesota Vikings in 2022 get a much needed change - and upgrade - from Zimmer to O'Connell

2. One thing that O'Connell has alreayd proven to bring over is an increased rate of three wide receiver sets which is going to mean more Jefferson - Thielen - Osborne on the field at the same time, which is exactly what this team needs.

3. Last season the Vikings passed a ton out of heavy personnel, but already in reports and interviews with Justin Jefferson and new HC O'Connell, the Vikings are going to be very different in 2022 and spread out opponents more with 3 WR sets. This will lead to better passing game success, and rushing.

4. In 2021, the Vikings finished 12th in offensive yards per play and 26th in defensive yards per play allowed. I think it is reasonable to think the Vikings improve on both marks with the coaching change. This is a bet on team.

5. I have bet Minnesota to win the NFC at 20/1, win the North at +240, Over 9.5 wins +105, Make playoffs at -118 and Jefferson OPY at 16/1.
