17 weeks, 17 games to watch

WEEK 1 Cowboys at Rams

SoFi Stadium debut, but given the stance on crowds by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, it could be an empty feeling.

WEEK 2 Saints at Raiders

Just party, baby. The Raiders make their home debut against the Saints in what promises to be a rowdy Monday night.

WEEK 3 Chiefs at Ravens

This is the game everyone expected to see in the AFC title game, but we get it in on a Monday night instead.

WEEK 4 Steelers at Titans

Ben Roethlisberger could be back in form by now and will offer a good test to see if Titans are for real.

WEEK 5 Vikings at Seahawks Russell Wilson and the

Seahawks will get a chance to show if they are going to be an NFC contender.

WEEK 6 Cardinals at Cowboys

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray and his new WR DeAndre Hopkins come back to Murray’s “home” stadium at AT&T.

WEEK 7 Browns at Bengals

Quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Joe Burrow will get together for the battle of Ohio.

WEEK 8 Buccaneers at Giants

Tom Brady will be in a Buccaneers uniform and there won’t be a Manning on the Giants. Strange times.

WEEK 9 Packers at 49ers

The NFL is must-see TV on a Thursday night with a rematch of last season’s NFC title game.

WEEK 10 Ravens at Patriots

Jarrett Stidham may or may not still be Patriots QB, but the key will be Bill Belichick’s defense vs. the Ravens.

WEEK 11 Titans at Ravens

Remember the Titans? The Ravens sure do after being eliminated by Derrick Henry and Tennessee in the playoffs.

WEEK 12 Titans at Colts

This may feel like a leftover on Thanksgiving weekend, but it’s when the AFC South starts to get serious.

WEEK 13 Bengals at Dolphins

A chance for Joe Burrow to face Tua Tagovailoa, and it’s not even an SEC game.

WEEK 14 Texans at Bears

Poor Mitchell Trubisky. The Bears quarterback can expect plenty of talk about the 2017 draft and Deshaun Watson.

WEEK 15 Buccaneers at Falcons

The Falcons saw enough of Tom Brady in Super Bowl LI. This time he has Rob Gronkowski with him but no Bill Belichick.

WEEK 16 Eagles at Cowboys

Carson Wentz or Jalen Hurts at QB for the Eagles? Doesn’t matter in an NFC East showdown.

WEEK 17 Cardinals at Rams

Perhaps by the last week of the season, fans will be in SoFi Stadium for what could be a wild-card play-in game.
