The 2019-2020 National Football League season kicked off on September 5, 2019. Here are the predictions for the season:

AFC North:

1. Cleveland Browns
2. Pittsburgh Steelers
3. Baltimore Ravens
4. Cincinnati Bengals

The Browns have been improving their records with the help of Baker Mayfield and due to the new changes for the Steelers, it will be a fighting season.

AFC South:

1. Indianapolis Colts
2. Houston Texans
3. Tennessee Titans
4. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Texans and The Colts have been fighting back and forth for the past 10 seasons on who takes the lead of their division. Only time will tell who wins this round.

AFC East:

1. New England Patriots
2. New York Jets
3. Buffalo Bills
4. Miami Dolphins

New England has been the reigning champion for 10 consecutive seasons.  The competition may be improving but it is not predicted for the patriots to back down yet.

AFC West:

1. Kansas City Chiefs
2. Los Angeles Chargers
3. Oakland Raiders
4. Denver Broncos

Last season the Chiefs and the Chargers had the same record, and the Raiders and Broncos went under major changes that may hurt or help them.

NFC North:

1. Green Bay Packers
2. Chicago Bears
3. Minnesota Vikings
4. Detroit Lions

The Bears traded for Kahlil Mack, gaining favor.

 

NFC South

1. New Orleans Saints
2. Carolina Panthers
3. Atlanta Falcons
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

New Orleans won last year, but will less injuries in Carolina and Atlanta cause a fight for the top spot?

 

NFC East:

1. Dallas Cowboys
2. Philadelphia Eagles
3. New York Giants
4. Washington Redskins

Last season had a tight win for the Cowboys. There is a major possibility for an upset in the predictions this year due to last year’s standings of Cowboys with 10-6, Eagles with 9-7 and the Giants with 9-7.

 

NFC West:

1. Los Angeles Rams
2. Seattle Seahawks
3. San Francisco 49ers
4. Arizona Cardinals

The Rams have won the past two seasons but may have an upset due to the Seahawks  Russel Willson making interesting plays.
