Here are 20 bold predictions to consider for Week 1 of the NFL 2018 preseason.

Even though it wasn’t the most exciting game in the world, football fans were quite pleased to see the Hall of Fame game take place last week between the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears, mainly because it meant that it was officially closer to the NFL 2018 preseason. Luckily, fans that have spent the last few months patiently waiting will only have to wait a few more days since Week 1 of the preseason officially gets underway on Thursday, which is beyond exciting.

To some fans, preseason is one of the most frustrating times of the year since the argument can be made that it should be shorter than four weeks, but also it provides certain players the perfect opportunity to make a name for themselves.

For instance, Patrick Mahomes faces plenty of pressure to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to the playoffs after the team decided to make the former Texas Tech standout the starter sooner than expected after moving on from Alex Smith in the offseason.

Replacing an experienced veteran like Smith isn’t going to be easy, and it’s up to Mahomes to prove to the Chiefs over these next couple of weeks they made the right decision to roll with him as the starter for 2018.

But before getting into more details over what to expect from the Kansas City quarterback this weekend during their first game against the Houston Texans, here are 20 bold predictions to consider for Week 1 of the NFL 2018 preseason.
