Expectations are already high for plenty of NFL teams with training camp now underway across the country. And since the NFL prides itself on parity, there are bound to be some surprises in the win column come the end of the season.

In 2018, there were seven teams that had more than 10 regular season wins, but one stat should put those teams on notice. Unless, of course, we're talking about the New England Patriots.

While the mighty Patriots seem safe (sorry for the early jinx, New England fans), the other six teams should be a touch nervous seeing that statistic.

And the initial over/under win totals, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, could give us an idea of which team won't top 10 wins, or even have a .500 record, again in 2019. The Houston Texans opened with an over/under of 8.5 wins. The Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Chargers were listed at 9.5 wins, while the Los Angeles Rams, Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints are all at 10.5. The Patriots led the way with an over/under win total of 11.

Looking at these initial numbers and the votes above, it seems like the public isn't expecting another first-place season out of the Bears or Texans in 2019. But, in the NFL, you truly never know what might happen from week to week, and another big year out of all of these teams is definitely in the cards.
