Week 10 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. Seahawks at Patriots (Sunday night, NBC): A Super Bowl rematch between two Super Bowl contenders and two of the best quarterbacks in the game? Yes please. I know New England is heavily favored at home, but I’m expecting Russell Wilson and Co. to keep this close.
2. Cowboys at Steelers (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, CBS): Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott have something special going on, but Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers are desperate and have home-field advantage. This could be epic.
3. Broncos at Saints (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): A lot of pressure on the defending Super Bowl champions right now. On the road against Drew Brees and the dangerous Saints, this could be extremely enticing. And it could be a wildly entertaining game.
4. Falcons at Eagles (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): A lot of pressure on the Eagles, who have come back to earth after a hot start. With Atlanta rolling, this could be a hard-fought game in Philadelphia between two playoff contenders.
5. Bengals at Giants (Monday night, ESPN): A crucial game for both teams, both of whom have the talent to go deep. And two great offenses in what should be a close game.
6. Chiefs at Panthers (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): Two talented 2015 playoff teams fighting desperately to remain in the 2016 playoff race. A lot to like here, and it should remain close.
7. Packers at Titans (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Neither team can really afford to lose here and remain legit contenders. So if Marcus Mariota and the Titans put up a fight at home, this could get dramatic.
8. Vikings at Redskins (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Minnesota is free-falling and Washington has just one loss in the last six weeks. Blowout potential exists, but if this is close it’s worth keeping an eye on.
9. Texans at Jaguars (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS): I was really excited about these teams at the start of the year. Now, this only becomes interesting if the division-leading Texans face a potential upset in the fourth quarter.
10. Browns at Ravens (Thursday night, NFL Network): Thursday Night Football sucks. This could be somewhat entertaining if the Browns stick around, but there aren’t any major implications and it might even be a blowout. You won’t likely regret skipping this.
11. 49ers at Cardinals (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, FOX): Likely over by halftime.
12. Bears at Buccaneers (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): This is one of those games you ignore unless you’ve got money on it.
13. Dolphins at Chargers (Sunday, 4 p.m. ET, CBS): Same with this one.
14. Rams at Jets (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX): Tune in if you like seeing really good defensive line play and nothing else.
