When the NFL kicks-off the 2019 season the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers will be the showcase Thursday night bucking the trend of the Super Bowl victors kicking off the season. The two oldest franchises makes a lot of sense for this season.
The Miami Dolphins and the rest of the league will play on Sunday the 8th of September with the Patriots likely hosting the Sunday night marquee game. On Monday the league will also likely showcase two games as they have done the last few years with West coast teams hosting a home opener.
Los Angeles will likely host one of the two games and the NFL may give one to the Raiders who are still playing in Oakland amidst drama from the city of Oakland.
