College football’s first weekend provided us with many great plays and games, but there’s something to be said about a great matchup in the NFL. Luckily for us, there are plenty of great games to watch in the opening week. Let’s take a look at three games you must watch this week…
The season begins with the Kansas City Chiefs facing off against the defending champion New England Patriots. Besides the fact that this is the first opportunity of the 2017-2018 season to watch pro football, we’ll be seeing Tom Brady on the field. Will Brandin Cooks be a legitimate option for him in the passing game? We think so and we’ll find out on Thursday.
The Seattle Seahawks head to Green Bay to face the Packers in what could easily be a matchup of the final two NFC teams standing come playoff time. Aaron Rodgers slinging it around to a healthy group of receivers is always fun while Russell Wilson himself should be healthier after lower body issues last season.
Does it get better than the rivalry between the Giants and Cowboys? Well, things could get really fun if Ezekiel Elliot is suited up for this one, which we should find out soon enough. The Giants have upped their offense by adding Brandon Marshall to the team, but will Paul Perkins hold down the running attack in 2017? We find out come Sunday night!
