This week the NFL released the starting dates for 2019 training camps for all 32 teams as the league begins its historic 100th season.
The first teams to kick things off will be the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, and Seattle Seahawks, who will have their rookies report to camp on July 17th, with every player for all 32 NFL teams eventually showing up to training camp by July 26th.
Some fans will be more interested than others when camps open, as there have been some rather seismic changes in places like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, New York, Miami, and Green Bay.
How these changes will work out are anyone’s guess at this point, but if we’re going to guess, we might as well do it right… with computers!
SportsLine used their Projection Model to simulate the entire 2019 NFL season 10,000 times in an attempt to predict the win totals and playoff chances for all 32 teams.
Let’s see what the computer determined and then speculate wildly about its accuracy, shall we? We shall.
