An excellent question. As far as the strategy of the game goes, it's likely to change somewhat, because a team is looking to attack another team's weaknesses, so the actual X's and O's is impacted very little. Where the change is likely to be is the mental part of the game, not having fans in the stands, the lack of crowd noise. These athletes have NEVER played in empty stadiums as long as they've ever played the game, so it has to impact them in some way I would imagine.
It's definitely unprecedented, so I'm sure you're going to see varying opinions on this, and who knows how the game will be when it starts back up again.

I rarely go to the games so I would love to have sports back with or without fans. Same for the NBA. It will feel weird at first but then you would hear players more and it might be pretty interesting. Not having sports is the worst.
I can’t imagine NFL games without fans in the stadiums. Going to be shocking to me if it actually takes place. We are living a new normal but the dollar will always be the bottom line and no asses in seats means no financial gain. Granted there will be televised games so all will not be lost. I certainly would appreciate no fans in the seats well above a canceled or possibly postponed season.
I just feel like it would be super weird. Football is one of the main sports that crowd noise plays a big impact in the game good or bad. It can change the momentum for the winning or losing team. For there to be complete outside silence and all you hear is the players moving up and down the field would just feel weird and not the same!
