NFL Game Of The Year Betting Preview

Every single NFL season sees a matchup go far beyond their expectations, catapulting it into the Game of the Year conversation. This year, there are quite a few matchups that have the potential to be in that conversation by the end of the year. Here we go over a few potential Game of the Year candidates, and why they could end up being a fantastic game.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Baltimore Ravens

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens always end up having great matches against each other. Especially because they feature two of the league’s premier young quarterback with Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Each team boasts a very talented offense that can explode in any given game, as well as defenses that could end up locking down their opponent if they get hot. Assuming the Chiefs and Ravens are able to enter this game healthy, it may be one of the best shootouts of the year!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Los Angeles Rams

The reigning Super Bowl champions are marching into Los Angeles to take on the Rams in this matchup. Tampa Bay features arguably the greatest quarterback of all time in Tom Brady alongside a flurry of weapons offensively and young talent defensively. Meanwhile, the Rams grabbed Mathew Stafford from the Detroit Lions to pair up with a talented but struggling offense. Stafford’s experience in this league should be more than enough to make this one of the best games of the year. It should also be mentioned that both Brady and Stafford have terrific track records when it comes to game winning drives, making it even more enticing.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Tennessee Titans

As mentioned earlier, the Chiefs feature the best young quarterback in the league with Mahomes with a multitude of offensive weapons like Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill. The Tennessee Titans are not to be slept on this year either. Not only do they have a running back in Derrick Henry that ran for over 2,000 yards and a young, tough receiver with A.J. Brown, but they also traded for Julio Jones during the offseason. The Titans defense has been below average for the last few years, which could end up sparking a shootout between two ridiculously talented offensive units.

Buffalo Bills @ New Orleans Saints

The Buffalo Bills were just a game away from the Super Bowl last year and were able to see a vast improvement from their quarterback Josh Allen. When he was partnered up with Stefon Diggs their offense turned into one of the best groups in the league. Here they face a New Orleans Saints team that will be without Drew Brees for the first time in what feels like forever. Jameis Winston is expected to get the start, and he has shown flashes of tremendous potential during his years with the Buccaneers. If Winston can play to his full potential in this game, he could bait Allen and the Buffalo offense into a high scoring game.
