The 2023 NFL schedule is finally here! In the season’s first game, the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will open up at home against the Detroit Lions on Thursday, September 7.
The Chiefs are the current favorites to win Super Bowl LVIII, +600 at FOX Bet. The champs’ first test will be against a Detroit team that showed grit throughout the 2022 season. Kansas City is currently favored by 6.5 points in this exciting season-opening matchup. On a side note, here is a fun nugget you can share with your friends about the Chiefs. They are currently the only squad favored in all their games in 2023.
Sunday, September 10, marks the first Sunday of the regular season, and fans and bettors can catch some of the day’s most exciting games on FOX and the FOX Sports app.
The Carolina Panthers open up at the Atlanta Falcons in an NFC South showdown, a game where No. 1 overall draft pick Bryce Young will likely make his NFL debut. The Falcons are 2.5-point favorites in that matchup.
Another big game on FOX features the San Francisco 49ers facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. San Francisco is currently favored by 3 points in that opener. San Francisco is also the fourth-betting favorite at FOX Bet at +800 to win it all next season.
The afternoon card features a rivalry as old as time, with Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears taking on Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers. Chicago is currently favored against Green Bay, a rarity if you look back at the last few years with quarterback Aaron Rodgers at the helm.
Speaking of Rodgers, the Monday night game will feature the new-look New York Jets as they take the field with him at quarterback. The Jets currently have the seventh-best odds (+1600) to win next season’s Lombardi. One thing is for sure, watching A. Rod’s mission to get his new squad to the Super Bowl will be must-see TV all season.

Giants vs. Eagles on Christmas Day, 49ers vs. Eagles in week 13 announced ahead of NFL schedule release
Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews announced two big matchups for FOX NFL this season.
A few other marquee matchups stick out on the Week 1 card. Here’s a quick look.
Buffalo Bills -2 at New York Jets
Josh Allen and the Bills are currently 2-point favorites in their opening game against the Jets. They also come into the season with high expectations, second in the odds to win the Super Bowl at +800.
Buffalo lost 27-10 to Cincinnati in the Divisional Round last season and will be focused on making an even deeper playoff run. Allen finished the year with 4,283 passing yards and 35 touchdowns.
Can Allen out-duel Rodgers in this star-studded opener?
Philadelphia Eagles -4 at New England Patriots
The Eagles at the Patriots will be another game to mark your opening week calendars for. The Eagles flew high last year with a terrific run to the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, their run ended in a close 38-35 loss to the Chiefs, but Philadelphia has a chance to get back to the big game after having one of the best drafts. The team loaded up their defense, complementing their already impressive unit with several players from one of the all-time best defensive units consisting of Georgia players.
The franchise also agreed to terms with superstar QB Jalen Hurts to the tune of $255 million, making sure the most important position in football is locked up for them for years to come.

The NFL schedule has been released, meaning the season is coming!
Dallas Cowboys -2.5 at New York Giants
Can the Cowboys finally make a deep playoff run worth mentioning? Or is Dallas doomed to exit stage left in the Divisional Round again, or worse, the Wild Card round?
The Boys are 2.5-favorites at NFC East nemesis New York in Week 1. An opening-week win on enemy turf could be exactly what America’s Team needs to silence doubters and boost quarterback Dak Prescott‘s confidence as the season gets underway.
Miami Dolphins +2 at Los Angeles Chargers
Dolphins at Chargers will be another fun contest to watch featuring two high-flying offenses. This will be a battle between Tua Tagovailoa — a quarterback whose season was plagued with injuries in 2022, and Justin Herbert — a player who FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sammy P likes to win MVP.
The Chargers are currently favored by 2 in this showdown.
