Week 6 in the NFL is here, and you might be entering the weekend with your own preferences regarding which games to focus on, and which to place on the backburner.
Most of you have your favorites and fantasy players to track. But in case you’re completely neutral or need help breaking ties with regard to what to watch, we’ve ranked all 14 games from most appealing to least enticing.
1. Panthers at Seahawks (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, FOX): The perfect Panthers have their work cut out for them in Seattle, but the Seahawks haven’t been right this season and Carolina is well-rested coming off the bye. Regardless, this quarterback matchup is too fun to be disregarded.
2. Patriots at Colts (Sunday night, NBC): The blowout potential exists, but this was still the AFC championship game last year and remains a matchup between two playoff-caliber squads as Andrew Luck returns to the Indianapolis lineup.
3. Giants at Eagles (Monday night, ESPN): A good division rivalry between two strong offensive teams jockeying for position in the NFC East. And games like these almost always bring the drama in prime time.
4. Falcons at Saints (Thursday night, CBS/NFL Network): Atlanta’s quest to start 6-0 while the Saints try to stay alive at the Superdome. Great division rivalry between two great offenses. Should be entertaining.
5. Bengals at Bills (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): This had more appeal when Tyrod Taylor was healthy, but Buffalo could still put up a fight at home and it’ll be interesting to see EJ Manuel.
6. Cardinals at Steelers (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Can Arizona keep rolling? Can Pittsburgh stay afloat sans Ben Roethlisberger? In Pittsburgh, this should be a competitive game between two playoff-caliber teams.
7. Broncos at Browns (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): Cleveland has been playing half-decent and Peyton Manning continues to struggle, so watch to see if the Browns can keep it close at home.
8. Redskins at Jets (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Two surprisingly strong teams early this season, but also two potential disasters waiting to happen. Worth Keeping an eye on.
9. Chargers at Packers (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, CBS): Nothing involving the great Aaron Rodgers can be ranked lower than this, but this is likely to be a blowout.
10. Ravens at 49ers (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, CBS): From Super Bowl to Desperation Bowl. Two ugly teams, and it’s not even a Harbaugh battle anymore. I’m out.
11. Chiefs at Vikings (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): Kansas City is probably toast without Jamaal Charles and could be in big trouble on the road against a well-rested Minnesota team, so you can probably stay away.
12. Texans at Jaguars (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): A pair of 1-4 AFC South teams. Forget it.
13. Bears at Lions (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Not a lot of bite in this rivalry right now because neither NFC North team is going anywhere.
14. Dolphins at Titans (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): The Mariota factor isn’t enough to keep this on the radar. Two bad teams.
