The NFL season kicks off Thursday, with the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC Championship Game rematch to open the 2024 slate on NBC. 

It will be 207 days between the Chiefs’ thrilling overtime win over the 49ers in Super Bowl LVII and the start of the 2024 season. Some storylines around the league are picking up where they left off (Christmas football is here to stay, Taylor Swift is still dating Travis Kelce) while others have taken intriguing twists (Jim Harbaugh is back, the Chicago Bears and the Washington Commanders may finally have franchise quarterbacks). 

To help you keep track of all the chaos to come, here are the 10 most intriguing games to look for this season. 

The Packers and Eagles will square off in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in Week 1, and it will be far from a vacation for either side. These teams could not have ended last season on further ends of the spectrum. 

Philly was embarrassed in a playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the final loss in a 1-6 slide to end the year after a 10-1 start. Green Bay lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round, but only after quarterback Jordan Love proved himself to be the team’s future. Love is basically what Jalen Hurts was only a year ago — a rising QB superstar with playoff success. Will these teams continue on their trajectory from the winter?
