2024 NFL Season Kickoff: High Stakes and International Showdowns

The 2024 NFL season will begin with several important games, starting with the high-profile rematch of last year’s AFC Championship on September 5 between Baltimore Ravens and kansas city chiefs. A day after, a game is scheduled to take place in Brazil between philadelphia eagles and Green Bay Packers. These matches are not only meaningful tests for the teams participating but also opening opportunities for the NFL to expand its international activities. The Chiefs would like to maintain their momentum after winning two Super Bowls, and the game against Ravens will allow them to do that. The international match, in turn, between the Eagles and the Packers, will give the teams from the National Football Conference a chance to prove their worth.

Eric Cohen, a sport analyst for SportsLine, provided several interesting details and predictions regarding these games. One piece of information from the article that was surprising to me was his claim that the Colts are likely to win against the Texans. In my opinion, the beginning of the season is always difficult to predict, and often the outcomes are determined by individual initiatives and good luck. In any case, the games during the opening week are of great importance to the accordingly involved teams. The Chiefs will be looking to prove that they can maintain their winning trend, with an ultimate aim of creating a dynasty. The game in Brazil can be the beginning of the expansion of the NFL’s activities and, thus, create the opportunity for the teams to participate in a larger number of international games. Overall, it is also interesting to consider how the game impacts the local Sao Paulo economy and its young footballers who support American football teams.
