When the NFL schedule is released, fans race to predict each game, they gobble hotel rooms for road trips and then start counting the days until the ball kicks off for real (sorry, preseason doesn't count).It's become a holiday of sorts, this NFL schedule release. But as we scan through the games, and coaches complain about their schedules and fans scream that the league wasn't fair, just remember most of the time what we think will be big games sometimes aren't.Teams change. Seasons change. Winners become losers and losers become winners.Even so, that won't impact my top 10 games for 2016. All 10 feature teams that were in the postseason in 2015, and only one team I mention -- the -- wasn't in the 2015 postseason party.You see how much I think things will change?That's because the NFL is top-heavy right now and there are a lot of marquee games pitting the top teams in 2016. I love that. Of course, come December, when we look back at the schedule, some of those big games might end up being duds.That's the great thing about the NFL. It's April, everybody thinks they are good, which is why schedule release day is so
Alexei Kovalev Kids Jersey much fun.Here are my 10 Must-See Games for 2016:Week 1at at Thursday, Sept. 8 8:30 p.m. ET (NBC) Super Bowl rematches always have to be here somewhere, even if they don't include one of the two starting quarterbacks from that game. It's even better it's the opening game of the season. The Broncos hit a bunch in their victory in Super Bowl 50, and then
Charlie Lindgren Men Jersey had some not-so-nice things to say about him. He will be ready to exact his revenge -- if he can. Question for Denver: Who is the quarterback? Week 2atCincinnati Bengals at Sunday, Sept. 18 1 p.m. ET (CBS) When we last saw these two on the same field, the Steelers rallied to defeat the Bengals in the wild-card round behind a meltdown of epic proportions by the Bengals. It was a game marred by controversy, late hits, penalties, and plenty of pushing and shoving. So we can't wait to see it again, right? Let's just hope these two teams curtail the after-the-whistle crap this time around. They are two good teams who don't need it. Just play football.Week 6atCincinnati Bengals at Sunday, October 16, 1 p.m. ET (CBS) The Bengals really think they would have won the AFC if didn't get hurt. As it was, they lost in the first round, meaning they still haven't won a playoff game with Marvin Lewis as coach. This will be a chance to show the Patriots that they are again a factor in the AFC race. Go to New England and win, and people will believe they have a Super Bowl chance.Week 7 at Houston Texans at Denver Broncos Monday, Oct. 24, 8 8:30 p.m. ET (ESPN) This is the Bowl. He left Denver to sign with the Texans as a free agent for $18 million a year. The Broncos wouldn't go higher than $16 million, so now they are left with a quarterback me s. is the quarterback -- for now. So will Osweiler rub it in John Elway's face? Or will Elway come out looking good for drawing a line at the salary and letting him leave? One game won't decide that, but you know the Denver defense can't wait to get after him. Oh, and it's on Monday night. Week 8at Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers Sunday, Oct. 30, 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX) The Cardinals, and especially , were awful in getting blown out by the Panthers in the NFC Championship Game. It was Palmer's worst game of the year, and one of the worst,
Doug Harvey Jersey if not the worst, of his career. He was picked off four times as the Panthers went to the Super Bowl. Now he gets a chance at redemption on the same field.Week 9at Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders Sunday, Nov. 6, 8:30 p.m. ET (NBC) The Raiders are the trendy team heading into 2016. They added a lot of pieces in free agency and their young players are maturing, led by quarterback and pa s rusher . But to truly show if they are a real contender, they have to beat Denver, the champs of the league and the division. Do that and people will believe. It's a Sunday Night Game as well, which will add to the intrigue.Week 10at Seattle Seahawks at New England Patriots Sunday, Nov. 13, 8:30 p.m. ET (NBC) This was the game many expected to see in the Super Bowl again last season. After the 2014
Maurice Richard Women Jersey season, the Patriots won on a dramatic interception in the end zone by to win Super Bowl XLIX. This will be the first meeting between the teams since then. It's always great to see a dynamic offense against a great defense. And it's fun to watch Bill Belichick match defensive strategy against . Week 13at Carolina Panthers at Seattle Seahawks Sunday, Dec. 4, 8:30 p.m. ET (NBC) The Panthers won at Seattle last year with a fourth-quarter rally, and then withstood a big rally by the Seahawks in the NFC Playoffs. It's always fun to watch the next-gen quarterbacks in Cam Newton and Ru
Jeff Petry Kids Jersey sell Wilson go at it. It's never easy to win in Seattle, but Newton showed he could get it done last year against the Legion of Boom. Can he do it again?Week 14at Seattle Seahawks at Sunday, Dec. 11, 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX) When faces the Seattle defense it's a game that has to be on this list. It's great theater to see Rodgers do his stuff at the line against that defense. The Packers won 27-17 at home last year in Week 2, the first time they beat Seattle in four tries. You know Seattle can't wait to get back to Lambeau for another shot.Week 15at New England Patriots at Denver Broncos Sunday, Dec. 18, 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS) This isn't against Peyton Manning since Manning retired. But it's still Brady against that Denver defense. That's the defense that beat him up in the AFC Championship Game last year, throwing him around and making him look human. The Broncos have quarterback i sues now, but they still have and to get after Brady. The New England line can't be any worse than it was that day in January.
