Chiefs vs Ravens kick off the 2024 NFL season at the GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. This one’s a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game, which Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs won.
Both teams had excellent defences last year, and it looks like they’re ahead of their offenses right now. The Ravens might struggle with their new offensive line, and Andy Reid’s defense tends to come up with solid game plans to slow down Lamar Jackson. Expect the Ravens to lean heavily on running back Derrick Henry to grind out the clock and keep the Chiefs’ offense off the field.
The Chiefs’ offense should bounce back in a big way this year, but it might not be in full form until wide receiver Hollywood Brown makes his debut. Plus, they’re breaking in a rookie left tackle, which could lead to pressure on Patrick Mahomes’ blindside. And with Shawn Hochuli’s crew officiating this game, we might see some holding calls on the Chiefs, which could impact the score.
So what is our Tossyardkings bet prediction? The Kansas City Chiefs will take it 21-14. With two of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, Justin Tucker and Harrison Butker, we can expect a low-scoring game with fewer missed field goals and extra points. Chiefs vs Ravens should be a thrilling opener.
