2020 NFL Season Predictions

It's time for the 2020 NFL season to kickoff and to say the least, it should be a very interesting season. The Kansas City Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl champions and they will host the Houston Texans in the season opening game Thursday night.

This season will be a different looking one come playoff time as well as there will now be seven teams participating in the AFC and NFC playoffs. Only one team will get the bye week in each conference and there will be three wild card games in each conference to get the field down to four teams in each conference for the divisional round.

 

So here goes nothing in picking the division winners and seven playoff teams for each conference for the 2020 NFL season.
(Note- Not picking any win/loss records for the teams as there could be a chance the usual 16-game schedule could get reduced to 14 or possibly 12 games if COVID-19 causes rescheduling problems. Nobody knows what might happen.)
