Almost every week is a gem, but there are a few particularly juicy matchups that I’m going to be watching with heightened interest, if possible.
The Chiefs game will provide an opportunity to see Watkins vs Peters/Talib. Will the “real” Watkins show up? The All World Watkins that we had all hoped to see last year? Or will our new CB’s sorta shut him down? Can’t wait for the board posts the week before that game.
The Eagles game will be a huge measuring stick. Depending on how the Rams matchup vs the defending SB champions will tell us where we are on the playoff pecking order. Can’t wait.
The Vikings with Cousins is probably the other most stern test. Vikes are another complete team and a win would be a HUGE confidence builder. This looks like a real knock down, drag out contest much like these two teams had many times back in the day.
Finally, that Saint game in their dome should be a tremendous game. Yet another complete Saint team and with that overwhelming hfa? Whew! Our O and our D will both be stressed to their limits, no doubt.
I was gonna leave it at 4 games but I’m human and I’ve gotta be honest. I want to see the Rams CRUSH the Niners. Twice. I would be exhilarated to see the Niners and their fans humiliated by the Rams. Enough with the Garoppolo worship, already. Lol.
Those are my biggest “can’t wait” games. What are yours?
