The 2017 NFL schedule is out and predictable it has a host of great games from top to bottom. So here are the best ones from each and every week.

Try to keep up.

First Quarter

Week 1 – Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots

Sure it’s the very first game of the season and that brings a measure of excitement. However, the truth is this game could have long-term significance. The Chiefs are an AFC playoff contender. If they can knock off the defending champion Patriots on the road? That is a tone-setting statement.

Week 2 – Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons

No doubt Aaron Rodgers is itching for this rematch after the Packers were humiliated in the NFC championship by the Falcons. Whether he gets a proper assist from the defense this time around will be the bigger question. Matt Ryan is 2-1 against him in Atlanta.

Week 3 – Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals

Not exactly a hallmark matchup that people would expect but one that could be sneaky good. The Cardinals are aiming to make a statement that their 2016 season was a fluke. Knocking off the young Cowboys would be just the sort of message they’d want to send.

Week 4 – Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos

The AFC West is the most stacked division in the league. It’s not even close. So every divisional game can be huge. Odds are the Raiders and Broncos will be two of the teams struggling for the crown, so even this early meeting is critical. The contrast in styles adds extra flavor as well.
