If I were laying money on it I wouldn't take the over on 0.5 NFL games or 3 weeks for the MLB season. NBA is the only one with a fighting chance.
The only glimmer of hope is the NFL is going to do daily testing compared to MLB's half assed approach to testing. But having these guys out in the real world instead of inside a bubble means it's just a matter of time before players start getting infected. Then you have the 2 week contact quarantine and it just snowballs from there.

The NBA has a fighting chance. They planned everything about as well as they could have except for one thing. Picking Florida. If they would have picked a resort area in one of the states with low case numbers (or even Canada), they'd really be sitting pretty. As it is, they have the problem that the players and staff are in a bubble getting service from low-wage workers that come in from the outside who are at high risk for catching the virus in one of the current epicenters.
