All kinds of juicy matchups have been pieced together for the upcoming regular season, so see some of my favorites and some of the game's most enticing here.

Everything gets kicked off on Thursday, September 10, as the New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers. Monday night games from week one include Philly visiting Atlanta early on the east coast and Minnesota visiting San Francisco on the west coast later on that night.

Week two has a nice battle between two reigning foes, as the Packers host the Seahawks on Sunday night. Week three has a old school battle between Kansas City and Green Bay as well.

Week four gets exciting early as Baltimore visits Pittsburgh on Thursday night, as week five  boasts a big boxing match between New England and Dallas at AT&T Stadium. New England stays on an interesting course, as they'll visit Indy on Sunday night.

A divisional weekend of football headlines week 7 as the Seahawks square off in San Fran on Thursday night, and the Giants host the 'Boys. Week 8 holds a heavyweight bout between gunslingers, as Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and Denver's Peyton Manning will duke it out on Sunday night primetime TV. Sunday night continues with another great game in week 9, as the Eagles dive down to Dallas.

Arizona jumps into the spotlight week 10, as they'll visit Seattle, and a defensive matchup ensues on Monday night as the Texans visit Cincinnati. Week 11 has a matchup with (my favorite) Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars scrounging around for the scraps at the bottom of the barrel. The Chiefs and Chargers also make week 11 a little more exciting.

Week 12 has a matchup we have come to know all too well, as Brady's Patriots take charge against Manning's Broncos. Thanksgiving has some good games as well, with Philly visiting Detroit, Dallas hosting Carolina, and Chicago going north to Green Bay.

Week 13 has a New York sized match-up between the Jets and the Giants, as week 14 holds a possible divisional-deciding game between the Steelers and Bengals. Week 15 has the Colts' Andre Johnson hosting his former Texans.

Week 16 holds some Christmas time battles, and maybe Miami is thinking a Christmas miracle? They'll host the Colts. Finally, week 17 holds one of the storyline-type games, as Rex Ryan's former team comes to play in Ryan's new house. The Jets will try to steal one away from the Bills.
