There are a number of notable intriguing matchups set to take place in the 2019 NFL season. Among those already generating plenty of hype is the Sunday night showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers.

Both teams have high expectations for next season. According to BetOnline.ag, bettors are giving the Chiefs an edge over the Packers on Week 8.

Green Bay Packers +6 -110
Kansas City Chiefs -6 -110

Of course, it is still far too early to tell whether or not the odds make sense considering how much things can change until then. Regardless, it is easy to see why the Chiefs are currently pegged as the favorites. Kansas City stormed to the AFC Conference Championship Game on the back of an MVP season from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Although they came up short against the New England Patriots, the Chiefs have generated plenty of hype as their heir apparent moving forward.

Meanwhile, the Packers are currently in the midst of some significant changes this offseason both to their roster and coaching staff after missing the playoffs yet again. Despite their recent struggles, Green Bay is still optimistic about a potential resurgence in the 2019 campaign. They will have an opportunity to make a statement against the Chiefs midway through the season.

Regardless of how the season pans out for both teams up to that point, this should prove to be quite the entertaining. It is not often that two of arguably the most talented quarterbacks in the league face off in primetime. At the very least, fans should be treated to a shootout from Rodgers and Mahomes.
