Super Bowl predictions and MVP picks for 2024 season, plus Ravens-Chiefs NFL opener is finally here

It’s finally here everyone: Welcome to the opening day of the 2024 NFL season!

After 207 days of waiting, football is finally back. I started getting antsy after 14 days without football, so I’m not sure how I even survived going 193 more days after that.  

The last time we saw an NFL game came all the way back on Feb. 11 when the Chiefs beat the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. As you may or may not know, the team that wins the Super Bowl gets to host the Thursday night opener in the following season, which is why the Chiefs are once again hosting this game for the third time in four years. The Thursday night opener has basically become the Chiefs invitational. 

With the opener just hours away, we’ll obviously be covering the game extensively in today’s newsletter. Also, after giving you predictions all week, I hope you’re not filled up on them yet, because we have even more for you today. 

As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter or you can tell people you run into at the bank. That also works. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here. Let’s get to the rundown.

The 2024 NFL season kicks off tonight with a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship game with Baltimore facing Kansas City. The last time we saw these two teams play, the Chiefs punched their ticket to the Super Bowl by winning a defensive struggle over the Ravens, 17-10. 

The Ravens will be out for revenge tonight in a game where they’re a 3-point underdog. 

My good buddy Jared Dubin put together CBS Sports’ deep-dive preview for this game, and here’s how he sees the game playing out:
