THE TOP 7 GAMES OF THE 2017 NFL SEASON

#1 – Falcons @ Patriots – Week 7 – Oct 22, 8:30PM (NBC)

I realize this is obvious, but it’s clearly the most anticipated matchup of this NFL Season. The Falcons, going to Foxborough for revenge on the Patriots for the loss in Super Bowl 51. Super Bowl rematches are always exciting, but this has some added wrinkles. Both teams are very changed from the year prior, the Falcons have a new offensive coordinator, and the Patriots added Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore.

#2 – Seahawks @ Packers – Week 1 – Sep 10, 4:25 (FOX)

A rematch of the 2015 NFC Championship Game highlights Week 1 of the NFL Season. Former Packers RB Eddie Lacy returns to Green Bay to face his former team, Aaron Rodgers goes up against the legion of doom (If there still is a legion of doom) and two of the top coaches in football go head to head in a week 1 clash of styles.

#3 – Kansas City @ Oakland – Week 7 – Oct 19, 8:25 (CBS)

The AFC West is the best division in football, and this game will decide which team will be the favorite heading into the back half of the season. The Raiders went 0-2 vs the Chiefs last year, which cost them a first-round bye in the playoffs, but in one of those games Derek Carr was out with an injury. Carr and company will be out for revenge.

#4 – Giants @ Cowboys – Week 1 – Sep 10, 8:30 (NBC)

#5 – Packers @ Falcons – Week 2 – Sep 17, 8:30 (NBC)

#6 – Patriots @ Steelers – Week 15 – Dec 15, 4:25 (CBS)

#7 – Eagles @ Rams – Week 14 – Dec 10, 4:25 (FOX)
