The Baltimore Ravens will kick off the 2024 NFL season against the Kansas City Chiefs on September 5, marking a rematch of last year's AFC Championship game, which the Chiefs won 17-10. This game will feature star quarterbacks Lamar Jackson, the 2023 MVP, and Patrick Mahomes, adding to the rivalry that has seen the Ravens go 1-4 against the Chiefs since Jackson's arrival in 2018. The Chiefs are favored by three points, with odds of +325 to return to the Super Bowl, while the Ravens are at +500. The matchup is historic as it is the first time in week one that two multi-MVP winners face off, and it is also the Ravens’ first season opener against the previous season's Super Bowl champion. Despite the stakes not being as high as last year's playoff clash, the Ravens aim to prove their competitiveness and capitalize on offseason additions. The game promises to be a highlight of the NFL season opener, drawing significant attention from fans and analysts alike.
