10 Best NFL Tickets 2017
10. Philadelphia Eagles at Los Angeles Rams, Sunday December 10. Okay, okay, before you freak out and close out this list it, think about it. This game holds serious intrigue for one reason: the QB matchup. Week 14 will be the first time we get to directly compare Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, the respective numbers 1 and 2 in the 2016 NFL Draft.
9. Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans, Sunday December 3. It's no secret: the AFC South is a complete joke. But these two teams are intriguing on paper and it easily makes our list for best NFL games of 2017. Marcus Mariota has serious weapons on the Titans offense and the Texans defense promises to be Top 3 status again come Week 16. This late season matchup will have a lot of impact on the outcome in the troubled AFC South. Get NFL team gear cheap with our Amazon promo codes and rep your team every single Sunday!
8. New England Patriots at Oakland Raiders (kind of), Sunday November 19. This top NFL matchup of 2017 holds intrigue for a couple reasons. One, it's in Mexico City. Two, it features the all-time greatest quarterback, Tom Brady, and one of the most promising young stars at the position, Derek Carr. The NFL did a great job in selecting these two high-flying AFC juggernauts to expand the NFL into the Mexican market this season.
7. Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers, Sunday December 10. While the Steelers can boast playing later into the winter in recent years, the Ravens have actually beaten the Steelers in 4 out of their last 5 meetings. This matchup is always one of the best division rivalries of the year and in Week 14, we're positive this will have playoff implications, making Ravens at Steelers one of our best NFL tickets in 2017.
6. Miami Dolphins at Los Angeles Chargers, Sunday September 17. The first 2017 home game for the newly minted Los Angeles Chargers will come against the hobbling Miami Dolphins. The reason this game scores so highly on our list of best NFL tickets in 2017 is because of that first sentence: it's the Chargers first home game in LA. And it's at a 30,000 seat soccer stadium, significantly smaller than all other operating NFL stadiums. This first game will be a great indicator of how the intimately-billed sporting experience in LA will pan out.
5. Chicago Bears at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sunday September 17. Mike Glennon, once-Buccaneer-now-Bear, signed a lucrative deal to quarterback the Chicago Bears and then the Chicago Bears signed one of the most promising young slingers in the 2017 NFL draft. They will face off in Week 2 and Glennon will have a chance not only to defeat his former team, but also to strengthen his hold as starting QB over the promising rookie.
4. Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers, Sunday September 10. Two NFC stalwarts face off in this intriguing Week 1 matchup. Both of these teams have won a Super Bowl in the past decade and each feature a future Hall of Fame quarterback, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers. What makes this game even more intriguing is Eddie Lacy. Once a backfield bruiser for the green and gold, Lacy now laces them up for the NFC rival Seahawks and reportedly has looked great in camp. How about a side of fries with that heaping pile of NFL drama?
3. Dallas Cowboys at Atlanta Falcons, Sunday November 12. Cowboys versus Falcons was the matchup many NFL fans wanted to see in the NFC Championship game last year. This year, we only have to wait until Week 10 to finally get it. Ezekiel Elliot will be done serving his suspension by that time and barring any unforeseen injuries, both of these teams should be sitting atop their conferences in mid-November. Will the upstart QB Dak Prescott be able to take down the 2016 MVP Matt Ryan? Why not travel to Atlanta and find out for yourself?

2. Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday October 15. The 2017 NFL season schedule is rife with postseason undertones and this is our (second) favorite. The 2016 AFC Divisional game between the Steelers and the Chiefs ended in a dramatic 18-16 finish that had the boys in black and gold advancing. The Steelers are poised to make a serious run at the Super Bowl this year and the Chiefs are one of the main teams in their way. This potential playoff preview is a must-watch and nearly tops our list of best NFL games in 2017.
1. Atlanta Falcons at New England Patriots, Sunday October 22. For only the 7th time out of 51 Super Bowls ever played, we will be treated to a rematch of the previous seasons Super Bowl. The Atlanta Falcons will look to redeem themselves after allowing the largest comeback in Super Bowl history to happen against them. This time around however, Atlanta won't have the advantage of a neutral playing field and will have to win this game in the lion's den.
