The NFL traditionally has the reigning Super Bowl champion kick off the following season with a Thursday night game to open Week 1. This year, that honor falls to the Philadelphia Eagles, who beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 back in February to claim the Super Bowl LIX title. The league looks to make that game an intriguing one, getting the season off to a fast start. This year, they are doing just that by giving the Eagles a division opponent to start the year.
Tonight, the Eagles will be hosting the Dallas Cowboys – a team that always draws television viewers on their own – in the opening game of the 2025 season. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. Eastern with NBC handling the television broadcast.
As we do every year, a group of our contributors will pick the straight-up winner for every game on the schedule starting tonight and carrying through the Super Bowl. You can find the latest odds, our picks, and last year’s results, below.
