Editor's Note: For the remainder of the 2022 (regular) season (and likely beyond), future posts of the "RFC Weekly Predictions" column will be divided into multiple parts. The reason for this decision is to focus on more critical games of interest across all of the divisions covered by RFC and to accommodate games involving the FBS Group Of Five that will be played midweek. With that said, on to this week's post (s).
Last Week: 81-46 (.638)
This Year: 893-389 (.696)
KEY: Projected winners are marked in RED.
