We have gone through the first quarter of the 2019 NFL Season and there have been some huge surprises. Contenders have floundered, while the usually snake bitten teams have exceeded expectations. We also have bold predictions for what is to come. Here’s a look of what the 2019 season has shown us thus far.

The Cleveland Browns, the Atlanta Falcons and the Los Angeles Rams are the three most disappointing teams in the NFL right now. They have a combined 6-12 record after Week 5. The Falcons can’t stop anybody, Baker Mayfield has failed to live up to the hype, and Sean McVay’s magic has worn off. If things don’t change soon, these three teams who had major playoff aspirations won’t be going anywhere.

The 49ers have shocked everyone with their big play ability and stingy defense. The combination of both have them currently sitting as the only undefeated team in the NFC. Likewise, the Colts have been able to stay afloat even after the shocking retirement of Andrew Luck. Lastly, the Bills have emerged to seriously threaten the “Evil Empire” in Foxborough throughout the beginning of the 2019 NFL Season.

Our first bold prediction is that Panthers running back Christian McCaffery will be the first non quarterback to be named NFL MVP since Adrian Peterson in 2012. He has been the focal point of the offense and put up some mind blowing numbers. Secondly, the Rams will not make the playoffs. It’s not uncommon for the Super Bowl runner up to struggle the following season. Finally The Lions will make the playoffs. There is a renewed spirit in Motown and the Lions are finally headed in the right direction in the 2019 NFL Season.
