Football Ranking the TNF, SNF, and MNF Matchups

Thursday Night Football

  1. Chiefs vs. Rams
  2. Broncos vs. Seahawks
  3. Patriots vs. Bears
  4. Chiefs vs. Bills
  5. Jaguars vs. Ravens
  6. Lions vs. Bills
  7. Ravens vs. Bengals
  8. 49ers vs. Chargers
  9. Texans vs. Eagles
  10. Buccaneers vs. Cowboys
  11. Vikings vs. Patriots
  12. Panthers vs. Packers
  13. Commanders vs. Giants
  14. Colts vs. Texans
  15. Falcons vs. Packers
  16. Steelers vs. Browns

Among the Thursday Night Football games, the Chiefs’ matchup against the Rams in Week 13 is the standout.

The Rams are one of the best teams in the NFL, and with the return of Patrick Mahomes for the Chiefs, this could be one of the best games of the year.

Sunday Night Football

  1. Chiefs vs. Seahawks
  2. Rams vs. Broncos
  3. Bills vs. Packers
  4. Patriots vs. Chargers
  5. Eagles vs. 49ers
  6. Cowboys vs. Packers
  7. Buccaneers vs. Bears
  8. Eagles vs. Commanders
  9. Texans vs. Eagles
  10. Lions vs. Panthers
  11. Cowboys vs. Giants
  12. Colts vs. Chiefs
  13. Vikings vs. 49ers
  14. Texans vs. Steelers
  15. Lions vs. Vikings
  16. Steelers vs. Bengals
  17. Ravens vs. Falcons

Sticking with the Chiefs, they are in another top matchup of the season, this time, against the Super Bowl defending Seahawks in Week 7.

The Chiefs need to prove that last year was a fluke and that championship aspirations are right back in Kansas City. The perfect time to make that happen is against the Seahawks, who are aiming to repeat.

Monday Night Football

  1. Bears vs. Seahawks
  2. Bills vs. Rams
  3. Patriots vs. Chiefs
  4. Broncos vs. Chiefs
  5. Eagles vs. Bears
  6. Texans vs. Packers
  7. Chargers vs. Ravens
  8. Cowboys vs. Eagles
  9. Bengals vs. Commanders
  10. Giants vs. Rams
  11. Commanders vs. 49ers
  12. Cowboys vs. Seahawks
  13. Bills vs. Vikings
  14. Falcons vs. Saints
  15. Panthers vs. Buccaneers
  16. Giants vs. Lions
  17. Steelers vs. Jaguars

Last, but certainly not least, the Bears-Seahawks clash in Week 8 leads the way for Monday Night Football. The Bears were very close to playing against the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, and this could end up being a preview of the 2027 NFC Title Game.

This will be a great test for Chicago to see if they can make yet another step forward in 2026, while the Seahawks try to remain one of the best teams in the NFL.
