College football is going to dominate the action on Friday and Saturday, but then it is all about the NFL again on Sunday. There are just two weeks remaining in the regular season, and a bunch of playoff spots are still up for grabs.
There are only a handful of games that don’t have some big storylines attached to them, and it’s going to make Week 17 a great weekend to watch. Here are five Week 17 NFL games that you should be watching this weekend:
Kansas City Chiefs at Cincinnati Bengals
The 11-4 Chiefs head to Cincinnati to take on the 9-6 Bengals, and this could be a potential playoff preview. Kansas City was supposed to be really good this year, but the Bengals have been a major surprise.
Patrick Mahomes has the Chiefs offense cruising once again, but it has been the Kansas City defense that has turned things around. Kansas City looked beatable early in the year, but they have been dominating teams of late.
The Cincinnati Bengals just put up 41 points in a win over Baltimore, but now it’s time for them to prove they can compete with one of the best in football. This game should feature a ton of points which will make it even more exciting.
Miami Dolphins at Tennessee Titans
The 8-7 Dolphins visit the 10-5 Titans, and both teams are hoping to pick up a playoff spot in the AFC. Miami has been on a remarkable run while Tennessee is trying to hang on and win the AFC South Division.
Both teams have really struggled to find offense this season, and points could be pretty hard to come by. Since both teams have a great chance of making the playoffs, these teams could meet up again soon.
This will be a game to watch this weekend.
Las Vegas Raiders at Indianapolis Colts
The Raiders head into Indianapolis needing a win, and they are catching a massive break. The Colts will be without quarterback Carson Wentz, and that could potentially shut down the Colts’ offensive attack.
Stopping the run will be a major key for the Raiders as Jonathan Taylor is one of the best in football. The Colts will be running the ball a ton in this game, and Las Vegas has to find a way to get stops at the line of scrimmage.
Both teams are desperate for a win, and that should make this a fun game to watch in Week 17.
Arizona Cardinals at Dallas Cowboys
The reeling Cardinals head to Dallas to take on the surging Cowboys. Both of these teams have spent time near the top of the betting favorites list to win the Super Bowl.
Arizona just can’t seem to snap this losing streak, and playing in Dallas isn’t going to help things. The Cowboys just continue to get better, and they look like a threat to win the NFC.
This game will have a playoff feel to it as each team will be trying to prove their worth in this matchup.
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers
AFC North rivals meet up on Monday Night Football to wrap up Week 17. Both teams still have an outside chance at reaching the postseason, but this game will be important for an entirely different reason.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is nearing the end of his career, and this could be his final start in Pittsburgh. It has been a Hall of Fame career for Roethlisberger under center, but it hasn’t gone well this season.
Cleveland will need two straight wins to have any chance of making the playoffs. The Browns were in a great position before injuries, and COVID-19 really derailed their run over the last few weeks.
