Abstract: This chapter reviews the 2019–2020 NFL season focusing on the regular season, the playoffs and the Superbowl. We start with pre-season predictions and compare with the regular season results. We then study the playoffs including the great games and betting on them. In the Superbowl, Kansas City won and Patrick Mahomes was the MVP. We conclude with a discussion about the new breed of scrambling quarterbacks and the new NFL contract.
