The NFL's schedule release is one of the more entertaining days of the offseason, as team's showcase interesting social media campaigns to reveal their opponents for the upcoming season.

The schedule release shouldn't change much for the outlook for some teams, as we already knew every teams opponents entering the release. However, now we know the weeks, matchups and if there are any short turnarounds against a tough opponent to worry about.

Here are BetSided's latest power rankings based on the odds at WynnBET Sportsbook to win it all in 2022.

1. Buffalo Bills (+700)

The Bills are the favorites in the AFC, and they are tied for the 12th easiest schedule this season, despite finishing in first in the AFC East last season. Josh Allen and company are going to be a tough out in 2022.

2. Kansas City Chiefs (+1000)

Make no mistake, the Chiefs have a tough schedule in the AFC West, but they also have Patrick Mahomes. KC earned a top three spot in these rankings.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+650)

The Buccaneers have to face the fourth-toughest schedule in the NFL in 2022. Tom Brady is back, and the NFC South is certainly easier than most divisions, but the Bucs need to make their money outside of the division in 2022.

4. Los Angeles Rams (+1000)

The defending champs have the toughest strength of schedule in 2022, but until someone knocks them off they're remaining in the top five.

5. Green Bay Packers (+1200)

The weak NFC North has helped the Packers, as they will face opponents with an average winning percentage of just .478 from last season.

6. Baltimore Ravens (+2000)

The Ravens struggled in 2021, however their reward is an easier schedule in 2022. If Lamar Jackson stays healthy, the Ravens will be a tough out.

7. Dallas Cowboys (+1800)

The Cowboys are tied for the easiest schedule in the NFL with the Commanders, and they could run away with the NFC East.

8. San Francisco 49ers (+1200)

Trey Lance or Jimmy G? Hard schedule or easy? The answer to the second question is hard (fifth hardest to be exact).

9. Los Angeles Chargers (+1500)

The Chargers won the social media part of the schedule release. Now, can they win the AFC West?

10. Denver Broncos (+1800)

Russell Wilson is here, but the Broncos will face a tough schedule (12th) for a team that finished in last place in its division in 2021.

11. Cincinnati Bengals (+1800)

The defending AFC Champions improved their roster, but they won't be facing a last-place schedule in 2022, which could lead to some regression.

12. Philadelphia Eagles (+3000)

The Eagles have an easy schedule in 2022, as does the rest of the NFC East, but they'll need Jalen Hurts to be even better to make the playoffs.

13. Cleveland Browns (+1500)

The schedule won't matter if Deshaun Watson get suspended, so wait and see with Cleveland's futures.

14. Indianapolis Colts (+1800)

The Colts are 26th in schedule strength and they upgraded with Matt Ryan at quarterback. Should they be favored to win the AFC South?

15. New England Patriots (+4000)

Mac Jones showed some flashes in Year 1, and the Pats need more of that if they want to get back into the playoffs this coming season.

16. Las Vegas Raiders (+4000)

The Raiders face the seventh toughest schedule in the NFL in 2022, but nobody in the AFC West has an easy road.

17. Miami Dolphins (+3500)

Schedule strength won't matter much for the Dolphins if Tua Tagovailoa doesn't improve in 2022.

18. Arizona Cardinals (+2500)

The Cardinals will play the second-hardest schedule in 2022 and won't have DeAndre Hopkins for the first six games. Things are not looking up.

19. Tennessee Titans (+2500)

The Titans have an easier schedule because of the AFC South's ineptitude in 2021, but have taken a step back after losing A.J. Brown. They're a team to wait on this season, unless you really love Ryan Tannehill.

20. New Orleans Saints (+5000)

The Saints have the seventh-toughest schedule in the NFL in 2022. The Saints looked good until Jameis Winston went down last year, so they could be a surprise team in 2022.

21. Minnesota Vikings (+4000)

The Vikings have a harder strength of schedule than the Packers, which does not bode well for Kirk Cousins and company's chances of winning the NFC North.

22. Washington Commanders (+7500)

Carson Wentz and the Commanders face the easiest schedule in the NFL in 2022. The NFC East could be open for the taking in the Cowboys struggle in 2022.

23. Pittsburgh Steelers (+7500)

NFL.com ranked the Steelers as having the toughest path to a Super Bowl in 2022. That, and the fact that the team is in limbo at quarterback isn't a great recipe in the futures market.

24. Chicago Bears (+10000)

The Bears play in primetime against the Green Bay Packers once again in 2022. Hopefully Justin Fields makes it watchable.

25. New York Giants (+10000)

The NFC East isn't supposed to be good again, so the four teams in the division have the easiest schedules based on win percentage last season. After a solid draft, maybe the Giants take a step in 2022.

26. Jacksonville Jaguars (+10000)

The Jags have an easy schedule after finishing with the worst record in the NFL last season, but they do have to travel to London again this season, something that could hurt them fatigue wise.

27. New York Jets (+20000)

I actually think the Jets have a chance to be decent (if Zach Wilson takes a step) in 2022. However, they play in a division that had two playoff teams last year and have the 17th hardest schedule, not ideal for a team that was in last place in 2021.

28. Atlanta Falcons (+10000)

The Falcons have the ninth-hardest schedule in the NFL, and they don't have a quarterback. This is going to be a long year for our resident Falcons fan Iain MacMillan.

29. Detroit Lions (+20000)

The Lions' schedule release video was pure gold, but we shouldn't expect too much winnability added in 2022...

30. Carolina Panthers (+10000)

The Panthers have the 12th hardest schedule in the NFL, and their struggles last season could be a sign of things to come. Maybe Matt Corral

31. Seattle Seahawks (+10000)

Seattle is in a tough spot, as it still doesn't have a true leader at quarterback (unless you're a Drew Lock believer?) and has the 11th hardest schedule this season. The NFC West is going to be a gauntlet, so don't be shocked if the 'Hawks go 0-6 in those games.

32. Houston Texans (+20000)

The Texans actually have the 14th easiest schedule based on last year's winning percentage, but they just have a talent-deficient roster that is going to struggle to compete unless Davis Mills takes a huge step in Year 2.
