The 2024 NFL season kicks off this week, and the excitement is building as all 32 teams prepare to take the field.
The Kansas City Chiefs won the Vince Lombardi Trophy by defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in February.
Andy Reid’s team has won the last two Super Bowls, and now the Chiefs have their eyes on a “three-peat.”

Super Bowl LIX Winner Predictions – Cincinnati Bengals 12/1
The Bengals were handed one of the toughest schedules in 2023, and their campaign was derailed after Joe Burrow suffered a wrist injury in November.
Burrow threw a pass in a prime-time game against the Baltimore Ravens that got caught on his wrist and never recovered as Cincinnati struggled without him.
Backup quarterback Jake Browning was able to keep his team competitive, and they missed the playoffs despite a 9–8 record.
The 2024/25 campaign will offer more hope for the Bengals, however, with Baro back in training and ready to get going from week one.
“Joe Cool” is one of the best five quarterbacks in the NFL when fit, and he should get good support from the rest of the offense.
New running back Zack Moss will finally get a chance to shine as the lead back after competing with Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis, while Chase Brown and Trevion Williams will be behind him on the depth chart.
Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is one of the league’s best five receivers, while the addition of Mike Gesicki at tight end should give Burrow another weapon. Defensively they might be a little weak, but they proved last year that they can stick up when needed.
The AFC North is one of the most competitive teams in the NFL, and the Baltimore Ravens should challenge them, while the Bengals are well-equipped to reach the playoffs.
Burrow will be on a mission after a year off the field, and the Bengals’ chances are even better thanks to one of the friendliest programs in the entire NFL.
The Bengals have often started slow in recent years, but four of their first six games will be against the New England Patriots, Washington Commanders, Carolina Panthers and New York Giants.
Cincinnati is expected to be the favorite in 12 of 17 games this season, and they offer bettors a lot of value as they try to win their first Super Bowl.
