NFL Tickets - Must-Watch Games of the 2009 Regular Season by Brent Warnken
Rosters are full, schedules are set and NFL tickets have been sold, marking the beginning of the 2009 regular season of the NFL. With Brett Favre suiting up in Minnesota purple, Michael Vick in Eagles green and Tom Brady back at the helm, anything could happen this fall and winter as football takes over Sunday and Monday night television, and we've got the top five must-see games for the season for football fans who haven't yet gotten season tickets online.
Week 2, New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys open their new Cowboys Stadium in Week 2 of NFL action with a game against NFC East rivals the New York Giants, and Tony Romo has to prove his worth against Giants QB Eli Manning for the Cowboys to post a win in this battle of the NFC East. In 2008, the Giants won the division before losing in the NFC divisional playoffs, making for one must-watch game this year when New York travels to Dallas in this Week 2 matchup.
Week 3, Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles: Now that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has reinstated Michael Vick starting in Week 3, this home game for the Eagles will be one to pack the house at Lincoln Financial Field. While Vick, the former Falcons star QB, looked a bit rusty on the field during the Eagles' preseason game against the Jets, it will be interesting to see where (and if) Vick plays in the regular season, starting in Week 3 against the Matt Cassel and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Week 4, Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings and Week 8, Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers: Combining Weeks 4 and 8, the Packers/Vikings rivalry within the NFC North will be even more extreme this year thanks to Brett Favre joining the ranks of the Vikings. It will be interesting in Week 4 to see Favre face off against his old team in the Monday Night Football game of the week, but it will be even more intense when the Vikings travel to the rowdy Lambeau Field in Week 8. The Vikings topped the NFC North last year, and now with Brett Favre leading the offense the Vikes are expected to be the team to beat in the division this season, making it even more important for the Packers to give it their all when they meet Minnesota in the regular season.
Week 5, Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans: The Sunday Night Football game of the week in Week 5 of regular season play, AFC South rivals the Colts and Titans meet at Nashville's LP Field in a game where the Colts are looking for revenge on 2008. Last year, the Titans ended the Colts' five-year winning streak as AFC South champs, and Tennessee is looking to make a repeat performance in '09.
Week 16, Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers: The reigning Super Bowl champs the Steelers will host division rivals the Ravens at home in Week 16 of the regular season, and this game might just determine who will take the AFC North this year. The Steelers and Ravens have been battling for AFC North honors for the last several years, as Pittsburgh took over Baltimore's 2006 division win by posting the winningest AFC North record in '07 and '08, and it could all come down to the end of the regular season to determine who will take top honors this year.
