The start of the 2020 NFL season is finally here, football fans! The defending champion Kansas City Chiefs are set to kick things off on Thursday night when they host the Houston Texans. And there are plenty of intriguing storylines to follow in the opener and throughout the rest of the NFL's opening slate.
Of course, for some, the storylines aren't nearly as important as the final outcomes. For some fans, the Texans' efforts to forge a new offensive identity without wideout DeAndre Hopkins will be intriguing; others will only care about the fact that they are nine-point road underdogs in a game that's expected to produce more than 54 total points.
