Top 10 Games to Watch

This best week This is the NFL regular season schedule we have so far.

Thursday night saw the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders battle it out for first place in the NFC East. On Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers face off for first place in the AFC North, and the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs face off in a game that will decide the home field throughout the AFC playoffs. Finally, on Sunday night, Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals and Justin Herbert’s Los Angeles Chargers met at SoFi Stadium.

So which is the best match of the week? We’re breaking it down, starting with the plucky New England Patriots taking on the Los Angeles Rams.

Traceability score: 0.8

The Rams need to win this game, but the Patriots are fighting. They lost just three points to the Chicago Bears and sacked Caleb Williams nine times. This won’t be a piece of cake for Los Angeles.

Traceability score: 1.2

This is only on the list because of the potential hilarity. The Jaguars look like a team ready to score, while the Lions may have the best offense in the league. Will Jacksonville give up 74 points and set an NFL record? Let’s not rush and ignore anything.

Traceability score: 1.9

The Texans are not the team many believed had a leaky offensive line in the preseason, but Houston needs to handle the quarterback-desperate Cowboys on Monday night. Otherwise, big problems are ahead.

Traceability score: 2.2

If Joe Flacco struggles early, who will the Colts start at quarterback? Also, will the Jets have it all to themselves if they fall behind early? The loser here is done, but a victory for Indianapolis will put them back on top. qualifying picture.

Traceability score: 4.8

Both teams are facing crushing defeats. The Broncos defeated the Chiefs only to have the game-winning 35-yard field goal blocked on the final play. Atlanta also had a terrible special teams day in New Orleans, losing to the New Orleans Saints. Both teams need a win for their play-off hopes.

Traceability score: 5.1

The Seahawks have lost five of their last six games, but they are closing out the week with renewed purpose. If Seattle can beat the Niners, they suddenly look like a playoff contender with a chance to win the NFC West. One loss and San Francisco suddenly rolls while Seattle is probably cooked.

Traceability score: 6.3

Bears fire Shane Waldron They named Thomas Brown as offensive coordinator on Tuesday and desperately need a win. After losing three straight games, including defeats against the Arizona Cardinals and Patriots, this is it. Meanwhile, the Packers are bidding farewell and relishing their Week 9 loss to the Lions. We expect the league’s oldest rivalry to provide a good rivalry on Sunday.

Traceability score: 7.2

That’s huge for the AFC playoff picture. If the Bengals lose, they may need to come out ahead to become a wild card team. If the Chargers lose, they could suddenly find themselves in a precarious situation in the playoff race; There are games remaining against the Ravens, Chiefs and Broncos.

Traceability score: 8.7

Perhaps the best division game of the year so far. The Ravens and Steelers are playing for the top spot in the AFC North. While both are in a great position to make the play-offs regardless of the outcome, the winner feels good about its potential to host a play-off game or two in January.

Traceability score: 9.9

For the Bills, this is a must-win if they have any hope of claiming first place in the AFC. Buffalo could win the tiebreaker over Kansas City with a half-game lead, while the Chiefs would be three ahead in the losing bracket at 10-0 with a tiebreaker if they win. There is a big change in the AFC race.
