2019 NFL Season Outlook: Team by team previews, betting odds, and more
The 2019 NFL Season has begun. Take a look at which teams and players could have breakout seasons.
The National Football League is celebrating its 100th season this year and what better way to kick it off than with a game between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.
The Bears and Packers rivalry dates back to the earliest beginnings of the NFL and both teams are vying for a division title this year. The Bears won the NFC North last season but were heartbroken in the playoffs after kicker Cody Parkey missed the game-winner that would have thrust them into the next round. The Packers missed the playoffs and revamped the team in the offseason.
The Bears and Packers aren’t the only storylines heading into 2019.
The New England Patriots are looking to defend their title and win their seventh Super Bowl, while the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints are both looking for revenge after losing in their respective conference championship games last season.
You also have a team in the Cleveland Browns that have a ton of hype behind them after they made some major acquisitions in the offseason.
There are many interesting things to be focused on this season.
Read on to get each team’s outlook, their schedule and more tidbits of information prior to the start of the 2019 season.
