Super Bowl Champions Kansas City In NFL 2023/24 Curtain-Raiser With Detroit Lions
Back in February we saw the Kansas City Chiefs win Super Bowl LVII after beating the Philadelphia Eagles in a thrilling final that ended 38-35.
As is tradition, the Super Bowl winners from last season play in the first game back the following season, which gets going today.
It’s the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Detroit Lions at the Arrowhead Stadium (Thurs 7th Sept) in a match up the best UK betting sites are making the Chiefs hot favourites @ 1/2 to get off to winning ways in the new 2023/24 season – with the Lions @ 19/10 for the upset.
The ‘good news’ for Chiefs fans is that the sides have met 14 times in the past and it’s Kansas that hold the bragging rights with a 9-5 series lead.
Kansas also have a top record when facing the Detroit at home – they’ve won 6 of their last 7 vs the Lions when playing in front of their own fans.
Super Bowl LVIII To Be Staged On February 11, 2024
This season’s Super Bowl will be on February 11, 2024 – and at this stage the best UK bookmakers are taking no chances on the Chiefs going all the way again – making them the 6/1 Super Bowl LVIII favourites before a touchdown has been scored.
Philadelphia, who the Eagles beat in Super Bowl LVII, are second best in the outright betting @ 15/2.
The Chiefs, who have now won three Vince Lombardi Trophies, have also reached the Super Bowl in 3 of the last 4 seasons – winning two of those.
If they can win again, The Chiefs will become the first ‘back-to-back’ Super Bowl winners since New England in 2004 and 2005 – while the Patriots are the joint-winning most Super Bowl team (with the Steelers) with 6 titles.
New England can be backed @ 66/1 with BetUK to make it seven Super Bowls, with the Pittsburgh on offer @ 50/1.
