NFL Thursday Night Football Betting
Although the NFL Thursday Night Football is primarily the property of Amazon Prime Video the first game of the season will go to NBC. The Sunday Night Football icon has the tradition of broadcasting the first game of the NFL regular season, normally held at the venue of the defending Super Bowl champion. This year, the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs will host the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of the 2023 AFC championship game. The Chiefs and Ravens are on a potential clash to again meet in the 2024 NFL Playoffs as two of the perennially best teams in pro football. GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium will be an electric venue to get the season kicked off in the best possible way.

Thursday Night Football Schedule
Amazon Prime Video gets its first Thursday night game in Week 2 when the Miami Dolphins host the Buffalo Bills. These two bitter rivals have shared the same division since 1966. Last year, the Bills overtook the Dolphins on the final day of the 2023 regular season with a 21-14 win in Miami. Miami lost its final two games of the regular season to blow the division title.
In Week 3 another AFC East matchup will be on Prime Video when the New York Jets host the New England Patriots. The Jets and Patriots have shared the same division since 1960 as charter members of the American Football League. Last year, the Patriots reached rock bottom and fired the man who many view as the GOAT of NFL coaches. Bill Belichick is gone, and his assistant, Jerod Mayo, is the new head coach. Owner Robert Kraft wants a more collaborative approach but whether it works or not remains to be seen.
New England took QB Drake Maye third overall in the 2024 NFL Draft and it would not be a surprise if Maye cracks the lineup, overtaking Jacoby Brissett, currently #1 on the depth chart.
One of the best and oldest rivalries from the NFC East will be renewed in Week 4 when the Dallas Cowboys visit the New York Giants. Head coach Brian Daboll took a huge step back after leading the G-Men to a playoff win in 2022. QB Daniel Jones is also under intense scrutiny after cashing in on the success of the 2022 campaign.
Dallas is Dallas, which means a highly hyped team that is probably not as good as advertised. But owner Jerry Jones is a marketing genius who keeps the Cowboys in the headlines. This year, the focus will be on head coach Mike McCarthy and QB Dak Prescott, who could both be in the final season of their time in Dallas. Jones is friends with Bill Belichick, who will be rumored to take over for McCarthy every time something goes wrong. Dak Prescott is in the option year of his contract, with Trey Lance waiting in the wings. McCarthy and Prescott are under fire for past playoff failures.
In Week 6, the Seattle Seahawks will host the San Francisco 49ers in renewal of what, at times, is the hottest rivalry in the NFC West. Seattle has a new head coach, Mike Macdonald, who replaces long time HC Pete Carroll. Macdonald made his hones as a defensive coordinator with the Michigan Wolverines and the Baltimore Ravens. Seattle took a step back in 2023 and is eager to rebound.
