The preseason is over. So is the final dead weekend of the fall. We are on the cusp of the 2024 NFL season as the Week 1 odds are being finalized just days before a new year kicks off at the home of the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.
The first week of the NFL season will take the game to new places like Brazil, as the Eagles and Packers square off in Sao Paulo on Friday night. But the 2024 campaign opens on opposite sides of the coast for the New York City area teams.
The Giants host the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium as they begin their 100th season with limited expectations in the NFC East.
Despite the Vikings not having their perceived franchise quarterback of the future in JJ McCarthy — an injury has sidelined him and forced them to turn to former Jet Sam Darnold — the Giants are still underdogs in their own house at -1, per DraftKings.
It will be Daniel Jones’ first audition of the season as he tries to prove to management that he can be the long-term answer under center. He has a new cast of weapons to work with — most notably rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Devin Singletary, who has the unfair role of trying to fill Saquon Barkley’s shoes — all of whom will be behind a re-worked offensive line.
Expectations are much higher for the Jets as their playoff hopes still reside on the shoulders of Aaron Rodgers staying healthy for longer than four snaps. Their defense is one of the best in the league to complement an offense that should be far more dangerous than it was last year.
Opening night for them, which comes in primetime on Monday in Santa Clara, CA, provides an early measuring-stick test. The Jets are visiting the reigning NFC-champion San Francisco 49ers, where they can make an immediate statement of postseason intent.
Like the Giants, though, the Jets are underdogs at -3.5. Here is the full Week 1 odds slate:
