NBC’s crew of Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth will open up the 2023 NFL regular season tonight with a matchup between the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (-4)
hosting the Detroit Lions (+4). On the surface, it seems odd the league would kick off its season with a team that missed the playoffs in 2022, but the Lions went on a 8-2 run over their last 10 games last season — which leaves many believing that they’re the team to beat in the NFC North this season.
Unfortunately, for the Chiefs, they won’t be in full force for this game.
