Thursday Night Football schedule, Sept. 5

Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs, 5:20 p.m., NBC (stream with Peaco*ck)

Could the Chiefs win three Super Bowls in a row? The Ravens might be one of the teams that have the best chance to dethrone the two-time defending champions this season.

Friday NFL football schedule, Sept. 6

Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 5:15 p.m., Peaco*ck

This game is in Brazil and it is only being streamed on Peaco*ck, which should ruffle some feathers. It might be worth subscribing for this Week 1 NFC clash, however.

Sunday early NFL football game schedule, Sept. 8

Pittsburgh Steelers at Atlanta Falcons, 10 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)

Will the Kirk Cousins era in Atlanta get off to a great start or will the Steelers' defense shut down the Falcons? We are intrigued with this Week 1 matchup.

Arizona Cardinals at Buffalo Bills, 10 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)

Kyler Murray and the Cardinals want to show the rest of the NFL that they vastly improved this season. Beating the Bills in Buffalo would do that.

Tennessee Titans at Chicago Bears, 10 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)

How will Caleb Williams look in his NFL debut? A lot of eyes could be on this game to see what early impressions the No. 1 pick will make.

New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals, 10 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)

The Bengals went 9-8 last season but finished last in the AFC North. They need to get off to a good start in 2024.

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts, 10 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)

The NFL is treating us to an AFC South division matchup in Week 1 and it could be a great one between two bitter rivals.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Miami Dolphins, 10 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)

We know the Dolphins can score, but can they stop anyone? We'll get an early glimpse in this potential Week 1 thriller.

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints, 10 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)

The NFC South is always interesting and these rivals get to start the season with a division matchup. Carolina was 0-9 on the road last season.

Minnesota Vikings at New York Giants, 10 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)

After down seasons last year, both of these teams are looking to start the season with a win, but have big questions at quarterback.

Can Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders make an early statement in Tampa Bay?
