Contents
Wondering what’s on the NFL schedule this weekend? We’ve got you covered with a complete rundown of all the games taking place.
Thursday Night Football
The NFL schedule this weekend features a full slate of games, including Thursday Night Football. The Thursday night game features the New Orleans Saints at the Carolina Panthers. Both teams are coming off of losses and will be looking for a win.
Houston Texans vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Houston Texans will be on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals this Thursday night. The game is set to kickoff at 8:20 PM EST and will be televised nationally on NFL Network.
This is a matchup of two teams that have had very different seasons thus far. The Texans have one of the best records in the league at 9-3, while the Bengals are just 2-10. However, the Bengals have played much better lately, winning two of their last three games.
The Texans are led by their defense, which is ranked second in the NFL in points allowed per game. They will need to be at their best against a Bengals offense that has struggled for much of the season, but has shown some improvement lately.
The Bengals are playing for pride at this point, but they will also be looking to play spoiler against a division rival in the Texans. This should be a good game between two evenly matched teams.
New England Patriots vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The New England Patriots will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Thursday night matchup. This will be the first time these two teams have met since 2017, when the Patriots won 19-14. The Buccaneers are led by quarterback Jameis Winston, who has thrown for 2,525 yards and 17 touchdowns this season. The Patriots are led by quarterback Tom Brady, who has thrown for 3,015 yards and 25 touchdowns this season.
Sunday Night Football
It’s time for some Sunday night football! This weekend’s game is between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. The Patriots are coming off of a loss, so they’ll be looking to bounce back. Who will come out on top?
Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Baltimore Ravens travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers on Sunday Night Football in Week 9 of the 2020 NFL season. This AFC North rivalry game is always one of the most physical and hard-fought games of the year, and this meeting will be no different.
Both teams come into this game with 6-2 records and are tied for first place in the division. The Ravens are coming off a tough loss to the New England Patriots, while the Steelers are coming off a big win over the Indianapolis Colts.
This game will be a battle of two of the best defenses in the NFL. The Ravens have the No. 1 defense in the league, while the Steelers are No. 2. Both teams are also top 10 in scoring defense, so points will be at a premium in this one.
Offensively, the Ravens have been struggling lately, but they still have one of the best runners in the league in Mark Ingram. The Steelers have been relying heavily on their passing game, led by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but they also have a talented group of receivers, led by JuJu Smith-Schuster.
This should be a great game between two evenly matched teams. It’s sure to be a physical battle that comes down to who can make more plays on offense.
Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings
The Green Bay Packers will take on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football this weekend. This will be a rematch of their Week 2 game, which the Packers won by a score of 21-16. The Packers are currently in first place in the NFC North with a record of 10-3, while the Vikings are in second place with a record of 9-4.
Both teams have been playing well as of late, but the Packers seem to have the edge going into this game. They have won four out of their last five games, while the Vikings have only won two out of their last five games. Furthermore, the Packers have a better points per game differential than the Vikings (-0.8 vs 1.1).
Given all this, it is not surprising that the Packers are currently 3-point favorites over the Vikings. However, anything can happen in a rivalry game like this one, so be sure to tune in to catch all the action!
Monday Night Football
The NFL schedule for this weekend has some great match-ups. On Monday night, the New England Patriots will take on the Miami Dolphins. This should be a great game to watch.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Rams
The Monday Night Football game this week is a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are coming off a disappointing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Chiefs are coming off a win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This should be a great game between two NFC powerhouses.
