I've been studying the matchups for Week 1, and I've come up with my predictions for every game. Here they are:

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Buffalo Bills (-7) at Los Angeles Rams

The Bills are the defending AFC champions, and they're looking to start the 2024 season with a win. They'll be facing a Rams team that is coming off a disappointing season. The Rams lost their last five games of the 2023 season, and they finished with a 5-12 record. The Bills are the better team, and I think they'll win this game by a touchdown or more.

Prediction: Bills 31, Rams 24

SUNDAY EARLY GAMES

Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Bengals are coming off a Super Bowl appearance, and they're looking to make another run in 2024. They'll be facing a Steelers team that is rebuilding. The Steelers lost their starting quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, to retirement, and they're not expected to be a contender in 2024. The Bengals are the better team, and I think they'll win this game by a field goal or more.

Prediction: Bengals 27, Steelers 24

Baltimore Ravens (-6.5) at New York Jets

The Ravens are one of the most talented teams in the NFL, and they're looking to start the 2024 season with a win. They'll be facing a Jets team that is coming off a 4-13 season. The Jets are not expected to be a contender in 2024, and I think the Ravens will win this game by a touchdown or more.

Prediction: Ravens 34, Jets 20

Jacksonville Jaguars (-1.5) at Houston Texans

The Jaguars are coming off a surprising 9-8 season in 2023, and they're looking to take the next step in 2024. They'll be facing a Texans team that is rebuilding. The Texans finished with a 3-14 record in 2023, and they're not expected to be a contender in 2024. The Jaguars are the better team, and I think they'll win this game by a field goal or more.

Prediction: Jaguars 24, Texans 21

Carolina Panthers (-3) at Cleveland Browns

The Panthers are coming off a 6-11 season in 2023, and they're looking to improve in 2024. They'll be facing a Browns team that is also coming off a 6-11 season. The Browns are not expected to be a contender in 2024, and I think the Panthers will win this game by a field goal or more.

Prediction: Panthers 23, Browns 20

New England Patriots (-7) at Miami Dolphins

The Patriots are coming off a disappointing 8-9 season in 2023, and they're looking to get back to the playoffs in 2024. They'll be facing a Dolphins team that is also coming off an 8-9 season. The Dolphins are not expected to be a contender in 2024, and I think the Patriots will win this game by a touchdown or more.

Prediction: Patriots 31, Dolphins 24

SUNDAY LATE GAMES

New York Giants (-2.5) at Tennessee Titans

The Giants are coming off a surprising 9-8 season in 2023, and they're looking to take the next step in 2024. They'll be facing a Titans team that is coming off a disappointing 7-10 season. The Titans are not expected to be a contender in 2024, and I think the Giants will win this game by a field goal or more.

Prediction: Giants 23, Titans 20

Philadelphia Eagles (-4.5) at Detroit Lions

The Eagles are coming off a Super Bowl win in 2023, and they're looking to repeat as champions in 2024. They'll be facing a Lions team that is coming off a 9-8 season. The Lions are not expected to be a contender in 2024, and I think the Eagles will win this game by a touchdown or more.

Prediction: Eagles 34, Lions 27

Los Angeles Chargers (-3) at Las Vegas Raiders

The Chargers are coming off a disappointing 9-8 season in 2023, and they're looking to get back to the playoffs in 2024. They'll be facing a Raiders team that is also coming off a 9-8 season.
