Week 6 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 15 games from most appealing to least enticing.
1. Falcons at Seahawks (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, FOX): This is one of several matchups this week that pit a high-fueled offense against a shutdown defense. But this is the best of them all. Matt Ryan looks like an MVP candidate and Atlanta’s offense leads the league in everything, but nobody messes with that Seattle D, especially at CenturyLink Field.
2. Cowboys at Packers (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, FOX): Dak Prescott is on fire, as are the Cowboys. But now they’re in Green Bay to play Aaron Rodgers and a defensive front that has also been on fire. We’ll learn a lot, and this should be a very exciting game.
3. Colts at Texans (Sunday night, NBC): Two teams dealing with plenty of issues desperate to make statements in a very important early-season prime-time divisional matchup. There will be drama.
4. Broncos at Chargers (Thursday night, CBS/NFL Network): San Diego has been finding some wild, wacky ways to lose, which could make this thing interesting. Plus, the Broncos defense is just fun to watch.
5. Eagles at Redskins (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Carson Wentz is a must-watch these days, and this NFC East tilt could get wild, as most of them do.
6. Bengals at Patriots (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): What’s going on with Cincinnati? And are the Patriots really as good as they were last week against a bad Browns team? We’ll get some very important answers in this one.
7. Chiefs at Raiders (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, CBS): These teams will likely be competing for a playoff spot come December, and this is a great matchup between an immovable object and an unstoppable force.
8. 49ers at Bills (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Colin Kaepernick’s rather intriguing debut comes against a suddenly hot Buffalo team that has won three straight games.
9. Ravens at Giants (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): Two high-profile, competitive teams facing major questions, which is fun. Plus, this is likely to be close.
10. Panthers at Saints (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): The fact that the Panthers have their backs against the wall makes this pretty interesting, but the blowout potential exists. Tune in if it’s close in the fourth quarter.
11. Jets at Cardinals (Monday night, ESPN): New York’s season is going down the drain, and this risks becoming a prime-time blowout.
12. Steelers at Dolphins (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): The way the Dolphins are playing, this should be one-sided.
13. Jaguars at Bears (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): Jacksonville is fun to watch and the Bears have something going with Brian Hoyer, but these teams are still a combined 2-7.
14. Rams at Lions (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): It’s worth checking out if it’s close, which it should be. Still, not a lot of sex appeal with either team right now.
15. Browns at Titans (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): If not for Marcus Mariota, I’m not even sure this would be worth listing.
