I'll go Texans, because it'll be a really interesting matchup of Dawson and Abner Haynes versus Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Oh, wait. It's the Houston Texans. Eh, I'll still go with the Texans.

Chargers or Texans. Harbaugh, LA is sexy sell. CJ Stroud vs Mahomes is sexy, but not in the national stage yet.

I voted Houston Texans.

That was our home opener that year but it was technically week 2.

Last time we had the Chargers week 1 was 2018, Mahomes’ first year starting.

I hope it's the Raiders. Would love for it to really drive home the point that we just won the Super Bowl in their stadium and now they have to come to our stadium so we can show them the rings and banner.

I think its the Texans. A good matchup IMO.

Texans makes sense if thr NFL wants to paint the story of the plucky, young and up and coming team trying to threaten the reining Super Bowl Champs. Plus the PMII vs Stroud would make for good TV.

KC vs Chargers make for a premium early season Thursday night / Monday night game.

Cincinnati & Baltimore should be saved for the second half / last quarter of the season.

Last year they picked a contender who who didn't play the prior season. I'm expecting the same this year.

Texans.
[Reply]

This is a good one. I didn't think of that.

I went with the Ravens. Repeat of AFCCG, not a guarantee that the Ravens will be good enough that it will be a seeding battle later in the year, and reigning league MVP vs reigning Super Bowl MVP.
[Reply]

Remember that there are typically two MNF games and they need the 2nd one to be a West Coast game.

I would think they would save the Chargers for that.

The networks are gonna want Baltimore and Cinci for later.

I think it's gonna be Houston, but I wish it was the Bengals.
[Reply]

The NFL got burned last year when they saved the Cincy/Chiefs game for Week 17… only to have Brokedick Burrow unavailable.

They could put this year’s game in Week One to ensure a Burrow/Mahomes match-up.

I still think Texans are the most likely option.
[Reply]

We opened against the Texans just a few years ago. That could factor in to persuade them to go Ravens.
[Reply]

It's going to be Baltimore. Houston hasn't earned anything yet.
[Reply]

If it's away, I'm gonna say the Saints, in a bit of a precursor to where we'll be playing the Super Bowl in a few more months.

If it's in KC, I'm gonna say the Texans, for all the reasons already stated.
[Reply]

It’s not going to be the Ravens, Bengals, or Texans.

Being the first game of the season, the NFL knows they can stick any team in there and get your viewership.

I’m guessing the Raiders since they won’t shut the fuck up about their fluky Christmas Day win.
