The 2024 NFL schedule is creating a lot of buzz as fans eagerly anticipate the release of potential matchups for the upcoming season. With the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, set to kick off the season, speculation is running high about who their opening opponent will be.
According to reports, the Houston Texans are emerging as a top contender to face off against the Chiefs in Week 1. The Texans, described as one of the league’s most exciting young teams, are seen as a true Super Bowl contender with CJ Stroud at quarterback. The Sporting News has given the Texans a 35% chance of playing the Chiefs in the season opener.

In addition to the Texans, the Baltimore Ravens are also being considered as a strong possibility to take on the Chiefs in Week 1. The Ravens, who faced the Chiefs in the AFC Championship last year, are led by quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has a formidable rivalry with Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes currently holds an impressive 4-1 record against Jackson, and a potential rematch would certainly be a thrilling way to start the season.

As one fan put it: “I can’t wait to see who the Chiefs will face in their opening game.
