NFL Week 1 kicks off Thursday night at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium with an AFC-NFC battle between Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Both teams enter this contest with high hopes, so whoever emerges victorious could gain early momentum. Also making headlines this opening weekend are multiple-time NFL MVPs Patrick Mahomes (2018-2022) and Lamar Jackson (2019-2023), making this encounter one of the standout storylines of opening weekend.
At online sportsbooks, the Chiefs are listed as 3-point favorites against the Ravens; specific lines will differ between sites. Last season, Kansas City went 10-6 against the spread when playing as moneyline favorites and 8-5 in games played at home; by comparison, Baltimore posted an 8-5 mark against the spread when underdogs while going over total in six of their eight road contests.
The Ravens boast one of the premier secondaries in the league thanks to the acquisitions of Nate Wiggins and T.J. Tampa during last year's draft and Eddie Jackson prior to training camp. That could allow them to match up well against Chiefs TE Travis Kelce - one of the league's premier tight ends last season - who has yet to score on 11 passes against them without scoring once; to do so this time he must perform at his best or face being shut out completely by their defense.
