The NFL season is set to kick off Thursday night with a fantastic matchup. In a rematch of last year's AFC Championship, the Baltimore Ravens will be looking for payback against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes Over 1.5 Passing TDs (-189) at Caesars Sportsbook

We saw Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs struggle badly in their season opener last year, but that won’t be the case Thursday. That is partly because the two-time NFL MVP has new weapons around him. The addition of Marquise Brown and rookie Xavier Worthy gives the receiving corps the upgrade it badly needed.

In addition to the new weapons, Mahomes will have two young stars with another year of experience. Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco are both coming off solid years and appear to be turning into stars early in their careers. Combine them with the pair of new receivers, and you can see why we expect a massive night from Mahomes and the passing game.

Travis Kelce Over 56.5 (-131) at Caesars Sportsbook

Travis Kelce is coming off a disappointing 2023 campaign, but we expect his bounce back to begin tonight. One reason for that is the team's extra weapons, which give Mahomes and the offense far more reliable options. Kelce struggled last season because the offense lacked other reliable pass catchers. That allows defenses to key in on the tight end, leaving him well covered throughout the season.

While competitiveness can’t be quantified, it will play a significant role in Kelce’s season. The living legend found himself at the center of much negative press between his poor play and his relationship with Taylor Swift. That talk has lasted throughout the offseason, meaning the competitive Kelce will be eager to end it.

Kelce got far better once Rice emerged last season and averaged an impressive 88.8 YPG during the team’s playoff run.

Zay Flowers Over 51.5 Receiving Yards (-127) at Caesars Sportsbook

While we are very high on the Chiefs offense, don’t forget Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ passing game. The unit got a major upgrade last season by drafting Zay Flowers, who went for 858 yards and five touchdowns. The second-year receiver quickly became Jackson’s favorite target, so we are high on him tonight.

The Chiefs' defense is expected to be one of the best in the league against this system, but they lost some pieces in their pass defense. While Baltimore doesn’t have a ton of pass catchers, they will have stud tight end Mark Andrews healthy, meaning the Kanas City defense will be stretched out on Thursday night.
