Ranking NFL Week 3 Games: Most Watchable to Least

1. Rams (-2.5)/Broncos – Sunday, Sept. 27 8:20 p.m.

The Dream Team Rams woke up from their Week 1 nightmare by slamming the Giants. Denver represents a stiffer test. This is a matchup of the two teams that lost on Championship Sunday last year — and it’s in primetime. Good enough to make it number one on this list.

2. Ravens (-3)/Cowboys – Sunday, Sept. 27 4:25 p.m.

Come for the potentially awful field in Brazil, stay for offensive fireworks from Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott. This game should rule.

3. Eagles (-4.5)/Bears – Monday, Sept. 28 8:15 p.m.

The Vic Fangio vs. Ben Johnson chess match will be fascinating to watch, especially if Tyson Bagent starts for Chicago in place of Caleb Williams. Can Johnson construct an offensive game plan that can put enough points on the board against a tough Eagles defense? And can Jalen Hurts play well against a bad Bears defense?

4. Chargers/Bills (-7) – Sunday, Sept. 27 1:00 p.m.

This has car crash potential. The Chargers are an absolute disaster. The Bills should destroy them. But what happens if Justin Herbert wakes up from his two-week nap? This will be fascinating, no matter how it plays out.

5. Texans (-2.5) /Colts – Sunday, Sept. 27 1:00 p.m.

This is a good, old-fashioned WWF Loser Leaves Town match. The loser drops to 0-3 and can likely kiss the playoffs goodbye. A Week 3 elimination game! Hell yeah.

6. Bengals (-3.5)/Steelers – Sunday, Sept. 27 1:00 p.m.

The Bengals are 2-0, and their defense looks awesome. We’ll find out how legit the defense is this weekend on the road in Pittsburgh. We’ll also find out whether Aaron Rodgers can avoid throwing his head coach under the bus.

7. Patriots/Jaguars (-3) – Sunday, Sept. 27 1:00 p.m.

Two great young quarterbacks going head-to-head in Drake Maye and Trevor Lawrence. Feels like the winner of this game will be making a statement of intent in the AFC.

8. Vikings (-1.5)/Bucs – Sunday, Sept. 27 4:05 p.m.

Tampa has to win this game to avoid dropping to 0-3, while the Vikings can move to 3-0 with a win. Kyler Murray will start at QB for Minnesota, which helps with the watchability.

9. Raiders/Saints (-3) – Sunday, Sept. 27 4:25 p.m.

I can’t wait for this game. Which team is for real? The 2-0 Raiders or the 1-1 Saints, who could be 2-0 if not for a missed two-point play in overtime in Week 1 at Detroit?

10. Titans/Giants (-3) – Sunday, Sept. 27 1:00 p.m.

Brian Daboll is looking for revenge against his former team, and that former team — the Giants — will be starting Jameis Winston at quarterback. If the Giants lose, the New York tabloids will be must-see on Monday morning.

11. Jets/Lions (-6.5) – Sunday, Sept. 27 1:00 p.m.

The Aaron Glenn Bowl! We’ll see just how bad the Lions defense is against a Jets offense quarterbacked by Geno Smith. And… can Aaron Glenn actually manage the clock?

12. Falcons/Packers (-6.5) – Thursday, Sept. 24 8:15 p.m.

Michael Penix will start at QB for the Falcons, which is a massive upgrade over the horror show of the first two games. Green Bay can somehow move to 2-1 with a win despite how poorly it has played to start the season.

13. Panthers(-2.5)/Browns – Sunday, Sept. 27 1:00 p.m.

Two QBs left for dead at points in their careers (Bryce Young and Deshaun Watson) both balled out in Week 2. Which one will play better on Sunday in Cleveland?

14. Cardinals/49ers (-8.5) – Sunday, Sept. 27 4:05 p.m.

Arizona disappointed last week against Seattle, and the competition doesn’t lessen as they travel to San Francisco. I’m excited to see if the Niners can win in blowout fashion for the third straight game.

15. Chiefs (-11)/Dolphins – Sunday, Sept. 27 1:00 p.m.

Let’s be real, this game won’t be competitive. I just want to see how many touchdowns and yards Patrick Mahomes throws for.

16. Seahawks(-7)/Commaders – Sunday. Sept. 27 1:00 p.m.

If this were played at the Roman Colosseum thousands of years ago, Marcus Mariota would be playing the role of the human, and the Seahawks defense the lions.
