Week 13

New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons – 8:20 p.m ET. Thanksgiving Day

This game is an exact rematch of last year’s battle between the Saints and the Falcons on Thanksgiving day. In a game that effectively eliminated any chance the Falcons had at making the postseason, the Saints continued their dominance en route to wrapping up the NFC South division. Not only is this game between two high powered teams, but it’s also the nightcap game on what is not only an amazing day of football, but an amazing day of celebrating family and friends that we are thankful for. This game is a wonderful conclusion to Thanksgiving 2019.

Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs @ New England Patriots – 4:25 p.m ET. 

How did this fantastic matchup not make it on primetime TV? Not only is this by far the best game of the week, but this could be the best game of the regular season. A rematch of last year’s epic AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and the Patriots is every football fans dream. This late in the season could mean playoff seeding for both of these teams and possibly a chance to take control of home-field advantage throughout the rest of the playoffs. This is a fantastic game that gives the Chiefs their third shot with Patrick Mahomes to dethrone Tom Brady and the Pats.

Week 15

Indianapolis Colts @ New Orleans Saints – 8:15 p.m ET. Monday Night Football

Both of these teams are legitimate contenders, and both of them will probably look to this game as a chance to really put their stamp on the season. With Andrew Luck leading the way for the Colts and Drew Brees doing so for the Saints, this could be a game to remember. Under the bright lights of Monday Night Football, we will see an intense and offensive firepower display between two strong AFC-NFC contenders. Keep this game marked on your calendar.

Week 16

Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings – 8:15 p.m ET. Monday Night Football

I have to hand it to whoever created the Monday Night Football schedule. They have some absolutely fantastic matchups this year, and they conclude their regular season schedule with a game that could perhaps decide who wins the NFC North. With both these teams seeking to live up to their full potential, the Packers and Vikings will most likely be either fighting to win the NFC North or trying to squeeze in one more important win to qualify for a wild card spot. While Monday Night Football might have not done too well last year, they certainly are setting themselves up for great success this year.

Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs – 1:00 p.m ET. 

Out of all the games scheduled on week 17, this game is probably the most likely to be flexed to Sunday night in order to see who will win the AFC West. Much like last year, both the Chargers and the Chiefs will most likely be fighting each other to see who will not only win the division, but possibly gain home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. It would only be fitting if NFL fans got to see the Chargers and the Chiefs battle it out in the final game of the regular season.
