The 2024 NFL Football schedule was released last week. Everyone knows what each game will be every week. The NFL season kicks off with a re-match of the AFC championship on September 5 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens. There are almost 300 regular season games throughout the year. here are my top five games on the 2024 NFL schedule.
Top NFL Game #5- Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys (Week 10)

The Eagles and the Cowboys have been two of the top teams in the NFL for a few years. Philadelphia is coming off a brutal end the last season. A road game against of their rivals with the NFC East potentially on the line always makes for good television ratings.
Dallas will be looking to bounce back after a tough lost in the NFC Wild Card game to Green Bay. This is a game Dallas needs if they are going to repeat as NFC East champions. It has the makings for a great game at an important time in the NFL season.
Game #4- Detroit Lions at San Francisco 49ers (Week 17)

This game won’t take place until late December or early January. This game could mean nothing if both teams have nothing to play for. However, it is a re-match of of the NFC Championship game from last year. It was a thrilling end the 49ers ended up winning. On the other hand, it was a brutal loss for the Lions, who appeared to be on their way to the Super Bowl.
This is a game I’m sure Detroit has circled in their minds. Now seen as one the best teams in the NFL, I assume the Lions will want to make a statement on the road against arguably the top team in the NFC.
Game #3- Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills (Week 11)

Similar to Detroit, the Bills are looking to avenge their postseason loss a season ago. Buffalo lost to the Chiefs on their home field. It was a perfect opportunity they let slip by.
The AFC is the better conference. These are two of the four best teams the AFC. I would also include Cincinnati (with a healthy Joe Burrow) and Baltimore. This could have home field advantage implications as well.
Game #2- Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs (Week 1)

What a great way to start the NFL season than a re-match of the AFC Championship. It was a low-scoring game last year, but the Chiefs were able to pull out a 17-10 win in Baltimore.
It feels like the Ravens are knocking on the door of a Super Bowl run. A win this early would go a long with when we talk about playoff seeding later in the year. Detroit stunned Kansas City last season in the regular season opener and carried that momentum to the NFC Championship last year.
Game #1- Kansas City Chiefs at San Francisco 49ers (Week 7)

You can’t have a Super Bowl re-match from the prior year as one of, if not, the top game on the schedule the following year. It should be an incredible game an atmosphere.
Going into this season, these are the top two teams in the league as well. It will be a tough test for Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City, but they have also won a ton of road games in the regular season and now the post-season.
