Here are five teams that should be on upset alert for NFL Week 1 of the 2019 season.
As crazy as it is to believe, NFL Week 1 of the 2019 season is finally here after months of waiting since the New England Patriots took down the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53.
Heading into the first weekend of real action, football fans have a pretty good idea of which teams will most likely be a top Super Bowl contender.
Whether it happens to be the Patriots looking to defend their title or simply the Philadelphia Eagles, looking for their second title in three years, it will be interesting to see which teams have what it takes to live up to the hype over the next few months.
Of course, the first weekend of action always brings a ton of pressure to numerous teams since every team gets a fresh start, and the starters don’t always see all that much action during the preseason, meaning there’s the chance of looking rusty.
Looking at what Week 1 has in store, there are a handful of playoff contenders that will be squaring off against one another, but also a few games in which some teams are considered heavy favorites.
Now that the official regular season is here, it’s time to take a look at some of those teams that should consider themselves on upset alert for Week 1 since they could be in for a tougher challenge than originally expected.
Even if some of these teams seem like long shots to come up on the losing end, anything is possible when it comes to the NFL season.
