  1. Philadelphia Eagles — After the franchise’s first Super Bowl win last season, everything seems to be clicking with this team. A brilliant head coach, the best general manager in the league, a defence that seems to get better and better; let alone a franchise quarterback who is backed up by a Super Bowl MVP. The season opener will be a good test for the reigning champs against a hungry Falcons team. However, many will question the hunger of this Philadelphia team, but due to countless injuries, many stars are still chasing their *first* Super Bowl ring. This includes third-year quarterback, Carson Wentz, all-pro tackle, Jason Peters, and defensive powerhouse, Jordan Hicks.

  8. Houston Texans — Houston is arguably the biggest wildcard coming into the 2018/19 NFL season. After a phenomenal start to last season, Houston’s playoff hopes fell off the map after the loss of quarterback DeShaun Watson. Watson led the Houston offence to an insane 211 points in just six starts, including a whopping 57 against the Titans during week 4. Watson, a potential ROY candidate, and possible MVP will be the player to keep an eye out for in the upcoming season.

  24. Baltimore Ravens — Can special teams carry a franchise? Probably not. But this year we’re going to find out. Besides a questionable Lamar Jackson, Baltimore does not have much to look forward to. With a NON-ELITE quarterback (*Cough Joe Flacco Cough*) and a mediocre defence—at best, John Harbaugh is going to have to heavily rely on sixth-year kicker out of Texas, Justin Tucker, and veteran punter, Sam Koch. However, if I had to pick a special team unit to rely on, it would be Baltimore’s by a long shot. Koch, who averaged nearly 45 yards/punt, as well 40/84 punts downed inside the 20, is arguably the most revolutionary punter in recent times. Just as golfers have a different club for every situation, Koch likes to think he can do the same thing, just with his leg and a football. Tucker, however, is in a league all by himself. Well, maybe him and Vinatieri. With a 90+ field goal percentage, Tucker is without a doubt one of the best kickers of all time. So yeah, it is safe to assume that Baltimore has decent special teams.
