Week 3 of the NFL gave us some of the best games we’ll see all season, which means Week 4 has a lot to live up to. Here are the five best games you’ll see this week.

What a week of football. Week 3 gave us everything from high scoring games and thrilling finishes to controversy on and off the field. Week 4 has a lot to live up to, but we see another great slate of games as things begin to get more and more meaningful.

At this point, it’s still too early to really get a good grasp on teams. We thought we knew last week but just about every undefeated or one loss team lost. Now, it’s hard to know what to think.

This week we’ve got important divisional games and everything in between. Here are the top five games you’ll come across in Week 4.

5. Buffalo Bills at Atlanta Falcons

This is a game that could really go one of two ways. The Bills looked average to start the season, but rattled off an impressive 26-16 win over the Broncos at home in Week 3. On the other side, the Falcons are playing like the best team in the NFL right now and sit at 3-0.

The Falcons are on a roll and no one seems to be able to stop them. They narrowly escaped with a victory in Detroit on a last-second call, but a win is a win. Matt Ryan looks to be playing MVP caliber football again this season and the Falcons offense is one of the most potent units in the league.

This game isn’t a must-win for the Bills, but a win would put them in the playoff conversation. They would be at 3-1 and at least tied with the Patriots atop the AFC East. With the Patriots pretty much guaranteed to win the division, the Bills only real shot at making the playoffs comes through a Wild Card spot. They’d be in a perfect position this early in the season if they can pull off the upset.

Undefeated and at home, the Falcons are certainly the favorites, but this game will be closer than most expect. The Bills always seem to be a pesky team to come up against and should keep things interesting.
