Chiefs-Lions Thursday Night: NFL betting odds, picks, tips

The 2023 NFL season kicks off Thursday with a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs (-4.5, 52.5) and Detroit Lions from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The Chiefs are coming off their second Super Bowl championship in the past four seasons, while the Lions were the league's most improved team in 2022, finishing 9-8 after going 3-13-1 in 2021.

Betting analysts Tyler Fulghum, Anita Marks, Erin Dolan, Eric Moody and Seth Walder are here to provide their thoughts heading into this one.
