Thursday Night Football!

The 2024/25 season kicks off tonight with a rematch from last season’s AFC Championship game. The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens 17-10, and then went on to win the Super Bowl. That was their second Lombardi trophy in a row, and they think they’re on the road to a three-peat. Patrick Mahomes will have to defeat the Ravens again, but Lamar Jackson, and new Ravens RB Derrick Henry are looking to start their own dynasty in Baltimore. This should be a great game between two legit championship contenders.

I expect a close game, but have the defending champs edging out the challengers at home. Patrick Mahomes continues his winning ways with HC Andy Reid. Can they do it again this season?
