The 2024 NFL season has finally arrived, and all 32 teams will spend the next four months trying to make the playoffs and capture a Super Bowl title.
The Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to become the first NFL team to win three-straight Super Bowls while the rest of the field will try to dethrone the dynasty. While it's easy to make predictions and have belief some teams are capable of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, the NFL regular season is a grueling, 18-week grind where anything can happen from September to January.

Exact dates and kickoff times for the postseason will be revealed once the field is set.
