It marks the official start of the regular season and is a major event for any punter who’s betting on NFL games. It’s also considered one of the most important games of the season, and it’s a big event that starts with a concert and other ceremonies.

The 2024 NFL season opener will see the former Super Bowl Champions Kansas City Chiefs face the Baltimore Ravens on the 5th of September. Bettors should be aware that the NFL has implemented some new rules for the 2024/25 season, eliminating the usual running head-start traditionally seen in the kickoffs.

  • Start with small stakes and avoid taking huge risks – No matter how sure you are of your bet, losing is always possible, so it’s better to avoid overly risky bets in the hopes of a big payout.
  • Set a budget and manage your funds wisely – Strategic bankroll management can go a long way to forming a successful betting strategy when betting on American football or any other sport.

What Is American Football?

American football is a major sport in the United States and various parts of the world. Although it’s only played at an amateur level in Ireland, the NFL and American football are gradually gaining popularity here.

The rules of American football are vastly different from the version of football many of our readers might be familiar with. The only similarity is that both games are played between two teams of eleven players, and the goal is to score a point by getting the ball into the opponent’s goalpost.

An American football game is played over four 15-minute quarters and a 12-minute interval at halftime. Each team is also allowed three timeouts, which the coaches can call for various reasons. On the other hand, English football has a 90-minute game time, split over two halves with a 15-minute break in between.

Goals in American football are scored if a player reaches the opposition’s end zone or by kicking the ball to the opponent’s side over the crossbar. The defence’s job is to stop the other team before they can reach a scoring position and take possession of the ball. The touchdown is worth the most points (six) and occurs if the ball is on, above, or behind the opponent’s goal line and the player has crossed from the field of play to the end zone with the ball.
