Week 15 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 16 games from most appealing to least enticing.
1. Broncos at Steelers (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, CBS): Pittsburgh is red hot and trying to catch Cincinnati, or at least lock up a wild-card spot. At home against Brock Osweiler and the Broncos, this should be interesting. And close.
2. Panthers at Giants (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Watch for the desperate Giants to put up a serious fight here at home, making this a must-watch as the Panthers try to maintain a perfect season.
3. Bills at Redskins (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Two teams fighting for playoff spots in what has the potential to be a wild game.
4. Cardinals at Eagles (Sunday night, NBC): I don’t think Arizona is catching Carolina or falling out of second place, but this is a matchup between two potential playoff teams with high-powered offenses. Stick around.
5. Texans at Colts (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): Terrible quarterback matchup as two losing teams battle, but the winner here probably takes the AFC South so it’s at least worth monitoring.
6. Jets at Cowboys (Saturday night, NFL Network): Are the Jets for real? On the road against a team that has quite a lot of talent despite lacking Tony Romo, this’ll be a big prime-time test.
7. Buccaneers at Rams (Thursday night, NFL Network): Check it out for the sake of Todd Gurley and Jameis Winston. Two of the top three rookies in the game.
8. Lions at Saints (Monday night, ESPN): Two quality offenses, and expect a lot of points. If nothing else, this’ll be entertaining.
9. Packers at Raiders (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, FOX): If Oakland sticks around, this is worth switching to. Not sure that’s going to happen, though.
10. Bears at Vikings (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Minnesota isn’t catching the Packers but won’t fall out of the playoffs, so there’s a not a lot here.
11. Chiefs at Ravens (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): Even though Kansas City is rolling, it’s still a boring — and likely one-sided — matchup.
12. Bengals at 49ers (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, CBS): AJ McCarron makes his debut on the road, but this is only worth monitoring.
13. Browns at Seahawks (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, FOX): Blowout alert.
14. Falcons at Jaguars (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Why would anyone outside of Jacksonville watch this game?
15. Titans at Patriots (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): We all know this is going to be a one-sided affair.
16. Dolphins at Chargers (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): Nope. Just nope.
