Who’s Playing MNF? Week-by-Week Preview
New York Jets @ San Francisco 49ers — September 9, 2024
How to Watch: ESPN, ABC, ESPN+
Must-watch Score: 10/10
We’re looking forward to…
Ideally, Aaron Rodgers staying on the field for an entire game... plus his connection with Garrett Wilson. Also, Mike Williams make his debut in a Jets jersey. It would be a prime spot for a Jets upset, though it’s very far-fetched.
Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles — September 16, 2024
How to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 7/10
We’re looking forward to…
Kirk Cousins fitting in in Atlanta, and the Falcons’ new look offense. Also, DeVonta Smith has been crushing in camp — does he start to emerge as the WR1 in Philly?
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Buffalo Bills — September 23, 2024
How to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 8/10
We’re looking forward to…
A top-tier AFC QB battle. Can Trevor Lawrence live up to the money he was paid in the offseason vs one of the NFL’s best QBs?
Washington Commanders @ Cincinnati Bengals — September 23, 2024
How to Watch: ABC, ESPN+
Must-watch Score: 6/10
We’re looking forward to…
Watching first-round rookie QB Jayden Daniels on primetime. Plus, seeing how Joe Burrow returns to form after a disappointing 2023.
Tennessee Titans @ Miami Dolphins — September 30, 2024
How to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 7/10
We’re looking forward to…
Tyreek Hill vs L’Jarius Sneed will be fun, as Sneed is incredibly physical, which is the only type of corner that can keep Hill in check. Also, a check-in on how Will Levis is progressing in his sophomore campaign vs a high-flying Dolphins offense.
Seattle Seahawks @ Detroit Lions — September 30, 2024
Where to Watch: ABC, ESPN+
Must-watch Score: 7/10
We’re looking forward to…
Any chance we get to watch the Lions offense in Detroit, on Monday Night Football, that is one to look forward to. Really excited to see this offense with Jahmyr Gibbs likely to get more volume, and Jameson Williams as one of my favorite breakout WRs in 2024.
New Orleans Saints @ Kansas City Chiefs — October 7, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 6/10
We’re looking forward to…
Patrick Mahomes in Arrowhead Stadium for a primetime game. What else is there to say? Also looking forward to Xavier Worthy and how he’s used in this offense.
Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets — October 14, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 7/10
We’re looking forward to…
The Jets chance to prove themselves on primetime against a top-tier defense. A first-half indicator for whether Aaron Rodgers’ can lead this team to the playoffs.
Baltimore Ravens @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers — October 21, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN, ESPN+
Must-watch Score: 8/10
We’re looking forward to…
Lamar Jackson is always a delight to watch, and this Ravens offense is going to be interesting with Derrick Henry in the fold. For the Bucs, how will Baker Mayfield perform after crushing all expectations in 2023.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Arizona Cardinals — October 21, 2024 (9 p.m. ET)
Where to Watch: ESPN+
Must-watch Score: 5/10
We’re looking forward to…
Finding out if the Chargers offense can function with a new offensive coordinator and missing all of their top weapons from last year. The team is on Justin Hebert’s back. Plus, rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. on primetime vs a bad Chargers secondary.
New York Giants @ Pittsburgh Steelers — October 28, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN, ABC, ESPN+
Must-watch Score: 4/10
We’re looking forward to…
The worst MNF game of the year on paper. Expect a low-scoring affair. And pray for Daniel Jones’ (or Drew Lock’s) health against this front seven.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Kansas City Chiefs — November 4, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 7/10
We’re looking forward to…
Two similarly built teams, besides the fact that one has one of the best quarterbacks of all-time. See previous Chiefs and Bucs games above.
Miami Dolphins @ Los Angeles Rams — November 11, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 7/10
We’re looking forward to…
Jalen Ramsey against Puka Nacua and/or Cooper Kupp. De’Von Achane should be the clear lead back by this point in the year. Plus, how the Rams backfield is shaking out.
Houston Texans @ Dallas Cowboys — November 18, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 9/10
We’re looking forward to…
The amount of times that the commentators say, “Everything’s bigger in Texas,” or some similar phrase. But really, this game should have a ton of points. You can’t ask for a more high-scoring MNF game than this.
Baltimore Ravens @ Los Angeles Chargers — November 25, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 7/10
We’re looking forward to…
The Harbaugh showdown. Jim in Los Angeles. John in Baltimore. Should make for a great narrative. Plus, while I have my doubts about the Chargers, especially in this matchup, it’s always great to get two competent quarterbacks in a primetime game.
Cleveland Browns @ Denver Broncos — December 2, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 6/10
We’re looking forward to…
Rookie QB Bo Nix in Denver, assuming he can hold onto the starting job. He gets a tough matchup here, so temper expectations.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Dallas Cowboys — December 9, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN, ABC, ESPN+
Must-watch Score: 8/10
We’re looking forward to…
Another primetime game with two elite quarterbacks — these MNF games are really great this year. Again, like the previous MNF game in Dallas, expect a lot of offense from two offenses that should be heavily pass-first.
Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings — December 16, 2024 (8 p.m. ET)
Where to Watch: ABC, ESPN+
Must-watch Score: 5/10
We’re looking forward to…
Caleb Williams chopping up the Vikings defense with rookie counterpart Rome Odunze & Co. I have really low expectations for the Vikings this year, and expect the Bears to be solid favorites.
Atlanta Falcons @ Las Vegas Raiders — December 16, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 5/10
We’re looking forward to…
Another brutal game where the home team’s QB spot is pretty gross. Raiders have some hope with Gardner Minshew, but not a lot. Kirk Cousins should air it out with ease in this game, then let Bijan Robinson put it on ice in the second half.
New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers — December 23, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN
Must-watch Score: 7/10
We’re looking forward to…
Should be a blistering one in Green Bay, which generally leads to lower-scoring affairs. Likely to be a must-win for the Packers in Week 16.
Detroit Lions @ San Francisco 49ers — December 30, 2024
Where to Watch: ESPN, ABC, ESPN+
Must-watch Score: 10/10
We’re looking forward to…
Two of the top teams in the NFC going head-to-head. This game has a chance to be a preview of the NFC Championship. The Lions are on the rise, while the 49ers should be Super Bowl contenders again. Couldn’t ask for a better finish to MNF in 2024.
