The NFL announced that the 2023 season will begin with the upstart Detroit Lions playing reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City on Thursday, September 7th at Arrowhead Stadium. Historically, the defending… More NFL champion has kicked off the season with a Thursday night game, but the primetime spot is new for the Lions. Detroit has never played in the kickoff game since its inception in 2002, and last year they were not scheduled for any primetime games before being flexed into a Sunday night game the final week of the season.

Factoid: Joe Burrow
I like the look of Joe Burrow this week. He’s on top of his game right now, and the opponent looks pretty much ideal. Kansas City has a great offense, but that defense has been pretty leaky all along. more »

Factoid: Decline of the kick return
There have been times in recent years when the NFL seemed ready to get rid of the kickoff entirely. There are too many injuries, including concussions, on such plays.

Fantasy Index Weekly: Championship Preview: Kansas City
Kansas City is favored by 3 points, and rightly so. They had the AFC’s best record, and they’re playing at home, where they’re very tough – only the Chargers, with a fourth-quarter comeback from a 14-point deficit, won at Arrowhead this season. Home teams have won every conference championship game since 2012. more »

Factoid: Kansas City Defense
Derek Carr deserves some MVP consideration. He's having a great year, and he's one of the most mistake-free quarterbacks in the league. He's thrown only 5 interceptions and taken just 12 sacks in 12 games. more »

Factoid: Julius Thomas
The other day I posted a table showing the number of touchdowns allowed by each team to wide receivers since the start of last season. Now the table showing touchdowns to tight ends. Not surprisingly (since we mention it every week), Detroit is terrible in this regard, making Julius Thomas a great option this week. more »
