Wow, so the 2025 NFL schedule is out and it’s like looking at a buffet of football goodness. We’ve got these matchups that are, let’s be honest, just begging for our attention, especially those primetime ones. I mean, who doesn’t love a good nighttime game, right? Anyway, here’s my messy breakdown of the top 5 games I’m totally hyped about.
### 5. Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders (Thurs. 12/25 1pm EST) – Netflix
So, picture this: It’s Christmas, wrapping paper all over the place, and boom—it’s Cowboys vs. Commanders time. Can’t make this stuff up. The Commanders are like the cool kids this year with a bunch of standalone games.
These two teams, when they lock horns, it’s always like, what’s gonna happen next? Somehow, after dealing with all the leftover turkey, you get Jayden Daniels and Dak Prescott battling it out. Maybe the NFC East title is on the line? Who knows. Anyway, the Commanders in the title race, the Cowboys a wildcard—it’s like, if Prescott’s fit and George Pickens isn’t, uh, causing drama, they might just be lurking in the shadows. Kind of a big deal, right?
### 4. Kansas City Chiefs at Los Angeles Chargers (Fri. 9/5 8pm EST Brazil) – YouTube
Here’s a curveball: Football on a Friday night happening in Brazil (what!?) on YouTube of all places. Chiefs vs. Chargers—bam, week opener, AFC West style. The Chiefs, fresh off a 15-2 season and a Super Bowl bummer against the Eagles, are gonna try and start this one off right.
And then you’ve got Herbert and his Chargers who were like the surprise party nobody saw coming with an 11-6 finish. Thanks, Jim Harbaugh. Adding Omarion Hampton should spice things up a bit, yeah? I’ve got this feeling (don’t ask me why) that this one might go right down to the last second. Could be just me, though.
### 3. Detroit Lions at Baltimore Ravens (Mon. 9/25 8:15pm EST) – ABC/ESPN
Thinking out loud here, but this might just be the Monday night game that turns out to be a surprise hit. Lions vs. Ravens, a possible Super Bowl sneak peek? Maybe.
Baltimore’s been killing it in the regular season, but, like, seriously, do they just lose the script come playoff time? Lamar Jackson, bless him, gets the finger pointed at him, but honestly, the whole team seems to take a nap when they shouldn’t. Mark Andrews, remember that fumble? Anyway, everyone’s wondering if Detroit can dodge the injury bullet this time around and go the distance.
### 2. Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles (Thurs. 9/4 8:20pm EST) – NBC/Peacock
Speaking of questions, is the NFC East the best division? Well, even the NFL thinks so, given how many primetime slots these guys have snagged. And opening the season with Cowboys vs. Eagles? Talk about starting with a bang.
Watching the Cowboys this season could be anything from “wow” to “what just happened?” Dak Prescott’s well-being holds more power than I do over my caffeine addiction. Meanwhile, the Eagles? They’re in full beast mode, keeping the NFC crown warm, ready for whoever dares to challenge it.
### 1. Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills (Sun. 9/7 8:20pm EST) – NBC/Peacock
And the Ravens again, haha! Facing the Bills on a Sunday night, fresh from the bruises of their last playoff meeting in Buffalo. This AFC clash is a litmus test if I’ve ever seen one.
With the Chiefs reigning like the uninvited guests everyone secretly hopes won’t show up, the Bills and Ravens are both itching to break through that wall. Josh Allen, oh man, the dude comes so close it’s heartbreaking. Meanwhile, for the Ravens, it’s about keeping it together when the going gets tough. This game in week 1 could totally set the mood for what’s gonna happen later on in the season. Anyway, that’s enough rambling from me. Can’t wait!
