Top Two NFL Match-Ups for the 2014 Season

The 2014 NFL season will shape up to be awesome as usual. That is no shocker for a league that has parity, a draft to give teams hope, and free agency that genuinely helps franchises get to the top quickly. The schedule was just released a few weeks ago and the draft will wrap up shortly, as the main rounds are now over. We have a clear picture of what games will be the ones to catch next year in the NFL.

There are always key divisional match ups that keep us interested. After all, these games are pivotal to the playoff set up. Then you have historic rivalries like the Bears versus the Packers or the Browns against the Steelers. Let us not forget all the modern day, hate filled contests like the Chargers v. the Raiders or the Ravens v. the Steelers. Each week there is a match up in the NFL that showcases games that have true importance, whether it is historic or a modern day playoff chase. The regular season matters in the NFL, which is obvious by the ticket sales and the TV ratings.

There are several match ups that I want to see this year. But I wanted to narrow those games down to only two. So if I were too busy to watch all the games I wanted to see in the NFL, I would choose only two. If I ever get that busy, I will very quickly quit doing some projects and go back to watching all the NFL I want. One of those matches in 2014 will happen in week three when Denver hosts the Seattle Seahawks. This may end up being the highest rated regular season game next season. Everyone wants to see if the Broncos can get back up after getting their faces mashed in by the Hawks in the big game last year. I want to see if Russell Wilson is going to keep getting better and better, which I think he will. I also want to see if Pete Carroll can keep his team motivated after winning the Super Bowl last year. He is a master at motivation, but it will be hard after being the champs already.

The other match up that is a must see in my book will happen in week 13. San Francisco will welcome Seattle to their new stadium to keep their hatred at a high level. These teams do not like each other, nor do their head coaches. I love it. I do like to see good sportsmanship, but I also don’t like all the hugging and smiling from players on the losing end of games. The losers should hate that they lost and frankly be pissed off. That is the feel I get when these two franchises go head to head. I love that Richard Sherman ran his mouth about Frisco’s Michael Crabtree after the NFC title game last year. That is not a good example for kids’ maybe, but it showed me how much these players wanted to win over their opponent. That is competition my friend. That is the NFL.
