NFL Kickoff 2023 and KC's home opener have a lot of options.
Ranking posibilities ...
1. Bengals -- Rematch the last two AFC Championships
2. Eagles -- Rematch SB
3. Bills -- What the NFL wants.
4. Jags -- Rematch Divisional
5. Miami -- Tyreek Hill
6. Raiders
7. Broncos
8. Lions
9. Bears
I think it will be the Bengals as the Bills were last year's Kickoff visitors.
I think they will save the Eagles for a Sunday Night game. I don't think they ever had a rematch of the SB for the Kickoff.
I think KC is tagged for an overseas home game and the NFL will never choose any of the first three games on the list for an overseas game.

Yeah I'd actually be a little surprised if it isn't us on kickoff. I'm probably being ignorant/forgetful, but is there another matchup which has been as good as the Bengals-Chiefs across the last two years? We've played 4 games and they've all been really good ones.

The Chiefs/Bills have an argument, but having the last two AFC Championships, both decided on last minute field goals, edges them out. So I’d say no there hasn’t been.

The Bills were the visitors last year. Time for new blood.

Last four Chargers v Chiefs have been great games too... but I understand what you are saying. i think Bengals will be going to germany for the Chiefs, they need a key game in Germany

it will be a repeat of the SB with our game against KC as the 2nd choice. The Reds are home opening weekend so the Bengals will open on the road
Winning makes believers of us all
They didn't win and we don't beleive

Broncos and Panthers kicked off the season after their SB.

True, these are damn fun games to watch. Expecting Bengals/Chiefs to kickoff the season...

That's a good shout regarding the LAC-KC games. Those are largely very decent. I feel like KC always win them, but always by a FG.

3 out of last 4, like we have done to KC.

If we have to play on a Thursday night, please make it against KC week 1. That has the least short week impact and gives us a long week for recovery before a likely division game in week 2. Also, I kind of expect to play the Jags in London as both teams seem to have a good following there and it plays up the young gunslingers Burrow vs Lawrence.

KC plays at Jacksonville, not home. They also play the Chargers at home.

I would think Bengals and Bills they will schedule for late season playoff implications/interest.
I'd be hoping for SB rematch.

Playing in the Thursday opening game doesn't exclude teams from another Thursday game. For example the Bills and Rams opened the season last year on Thursday. The Bills had another Thursday night game in week 13 (as well as the Thanksgiving game the week before) and the Rams had one week 14.

The Bills also played on Thursday again in Week 15 at New England.
