NFL 2024 Schedule: 5 International Games in 3 Different Countries

15th May 2024 | Category: Sports

The NFL is in the offseason, but the break is not stopping fans from questioning what games will be the season opener in September. And even though training camp is yet to begin in August, both the teams and the fans are eager to see when their favorites are going to be on the program.

While we eagerly await the highly-anticipated NFL schedule for the 2024/2025 season, the NFL did announce their international games. And luckily for us, there is more than a few to look forward to.

International Games in 2024

With the Chiefs announcing their plan for a three-peat, both the organization and other teams are eager to create a challenge for the recently crowned champions. Rumors of the schedule flooded social media, and with some of them already confirmed, it’s clear that this season is not going to be easy for the Chiefs. But hey, they are not going to make it easy for the challengers, right?

Still, there had been a rumour that the Kansas City team is going to meet up with its opponent in Week 1 abroad. However, with the official announcement of the 2024 International Games schedule, that rumor was quickly dispelled.

Here is the full schedule for the 2024/2025 International Games in the NFL.

Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The first international game announced for the upcoming season is the Packers vs. Eagles. The two teams are set to meet up in São Paulo, Brazil! This is not just the first time either team is setting foot in South America, but actually the first-ever South America NFL game for the league. And what a way to kick it off!

This historically important match is taking place in the Corinthians Arena is São Paulo in Week 1. The exact date is September 6, 2024 (8:15 PM ET). Here’s another fun fact for the match: it’s the first Friday night game for the opening weekend in 50 years. A landmark event, for sure. Grab the tickets HERE.

New York Jets vs. Minnesota Vikings

A month after NFL enthusiasts set their eyes on South America, we pack our bags again.  The Jets headed by Aaron Rodgers are jetting off to London, UK, for a match with J.J. McCarthy-led Vikings.

It’s a big game for both teams. Rodgers is returning to the league after a season-ending injury in 2023. His injury undoubtedly affected the team, which suffered a lot while Rodgers was forced to watch from the sidelines. Could the 4-time NFL MVP turn this season into a better one?

The Vikings will certainly give their best. The match is set to take place in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, UK, in Week 5. The exact date is October 9, 2024 (9:30 AM ET). You can get tickets for the event HERE.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bulls

A week after the Jets and Vikings face off against each other, the Jaguars and Bulls are up. Same place, same stadium – the Tottenham Hotspur New Stadium. While Jaguars are well-versed in travelling overseas – they’ve been to London 12 times – the Bears are travelling for the third time. Moreover, the Bears have not had an international game since 2019. Does that complicate things? We’ll see on October 13, 2024 at 9:30 AM (ET).

The expectations are high for Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence. The team expects to have a strong comeback and hopefully regain the title of AFC South champions again. Caleb Williams leading the Bears might have a thing or two against that. Get the front-row seats for the spectacle HERE.

New England Patriots vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

A week after they meet the Bulls in London, the Jaguars are packing their bags and moving to another stadium. Thankfully, they are not going far – they’re staying in the same city, in fact! This time, they are facing off with New England Patriots at Wembley Stadium on October 20. The time is the same as always, 9:30 AM (ET).

But what does this Week 7 matchup look like? Well, it’s clear that lots of things will depend on the result from the week before that. The Jaguars are facing a back-to-back international game appearance,                 which might stump some teams, but there’s no doubt the Jags are built to withstand it. But the Patriots are eager to prove themselves, especially with the departure of Bill Belichick during the offseason. Could Patriots and Drake Maye defeat the Jaguars? Check it out HERE.

New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers

In the last season, we got to see two fantastic games in Germany. Both were played in Frankfurt, but this year, the NFL decided to give other German cities a chance. As a result, the fifth and final International Game for 2024 is taking place in Munich. This marks the second time the NFL is hosting a game in the city, returning after 2 years.

The teams are New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers. The Giants are at a bit of an advantage as their current record stands at 3-0 in international games. Sure, the 2023 season was abysmal for both teams, but the 2022 season proved to be quite fruitful for the Giants. And Bryce Young, the young Panther, is testing the international waters for the first time ever. Visit the Week 10 game on November 10 by purchasing a ticket HERE.

Conclusion

That’s a wrap, dear readers. Check out our other NFL updates and stay tuned for more info about the NFL schedule and the upcoming season.

The result surprised no one – the winner of the race was Max Verstappen for Red Bull, followed by Sergio Perez on P2, and Carlos Sainz on P3. It was an absolute domination from Red Bull the entire weekend, and we’re excited to see where the rest of the season will take us. One thing is for sure, though – it is a great start for Red Bull and Verstappen.

Will Verstappen manage to end this season as a four-time world champion? Moreover, will it be the fourth consecutive title? We shall see. Whatever it is, be sure to watch the races on race weekends!

NFL Playoffs: Chiefs vs Ravens, Lions vs 49ers for a Shot at Super Bowl

23rd January 2024 | Category: Sports

If only it weren’t for the Bass’ miss, Bills could have had hope to meet the NFC champ in Las Vegas on February 11th. However, Tyler Bass did sink it – and even if he didn’t, Chiefs would have probably found a way – and Kansas City is meeting Baltimore next Sunday.

Who’s Who

We are one game away from seeing the biggest event in football in all of America. That game – technically two games – will decide the NFC and AFC Conference champions, and if you think that’s less important than the actual Super Bowl, you are wrong.

In the upcoming AFC Championship game, Ravens meet the Kansas City Chiefs, while NFC Championship title game is a meetup between Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers. Although it might be easy to pick favorites, all four teams have very strong chances of hitting the desired result and landing a spot in Las Vegas (and even earning the trophy). Let’s see where both games will take place and how you can watch them.

AFC Conference Title Game

In the next AFC Conference title game, competing for the championship title we have Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens.

Although the two teams have had a completely different experience this season – the Ravens were the first seed while Chiefs were said to be falling off – both teams reached the championship game in hopes of lifting the trophy. Once they lift that one, they fully intend to head into Las Vegas with the same goal.

Ravens have a slight edge over Chiefs when it comes to picking the winner. Understandable, really, when we consider how put-together the Ravens team is. Simply put, they’re the full package, as they possess an All-Pro quarterback and an unmatched defense. Well, matched only by Chiefs.

On the other hand, Chiefs have been here before. They’ve been the underdog, they’ve been the favorite, and more importantly, they’ve been to the championship game. In fact, this is their sixth straight AFC championship game (and Mahomes has been here for six years). While we are on the topic of quarterbacks, let’s not fool ourselves – Mahomes is a beast. He is not going down without a hell of a fight, and this season, he refuses to give up. Plus, he’s well protected, with the best defense his team has seen so far. But the question still stands – is Chiefs best defense enough for Ravens’ offense? We’ll see on Sunday. You can buy tickets for the AFC Championship game HERE.

When: Sunday, Jan 28, 2024 at 3 PM

Where: M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD

NFC Conference Title Game

On the other side of the fence is a whole new different game. Lions and 49ers, two budding rivals, are competing for a chance to lift the trophy and get the title of NFC champions. However, unlike Ravens and Chiefs who do this almost every year, these teams haven’t had it easy. Even though the 49ers have appeared in the NFC championship games six times in the last 13 years, they haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1994. On the other hand, Lions haven’t had two playoff wins since 1957. We really don’t want to count the years, so let’s just say it’s a lot. The fans are beside themselves with each win, and rightfully so, as they are witnessing history.

So, who has the better chance of winning the game and advancing to the Super Bowl? Well, that’s a bit hard to say right now. Brock Purdy is on a mission to go all the way to the Super Bowl, and his previous performances put him at the top of the list of most successful quarterbacks today. Moreover, the 49ers offense is excellent – and Lions have a shaky defense, so that gives the Niners an advantage. On the other hand, Purdy has not had a steady performance, and Lions will definitely try to destabilize his plays further. Another thing that plays into Lions’ hands is the run track. Lions can outrun the Niners easily, which gives them an advantage over the San Francisco team. But which one will land at the Super Bowl? Again, remains to be seen on Sunday. You can buy tickets for the NFC Championship game HERE.

When: Sunday, Jan 28, 2024 at 6:30 PM

Where: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, CA

NFL Playoffs 2023/2024 & Potential Super Bowl LVIII Picks

15th November 2023 | Category: Sports

This season of football is slowly picking up, with several teams breaking serious records and changing standings each week.

For the most part, former finalists and current champions Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs remain among the favourites for this season’s Super Bowl, but it’s too early to make predictions as we aren’t near the playoffs.

Moreover, as the season progresses, there’s a plethora of games to look forward to – and matches you simply should not miss. The schedule for NFL 2023/2024 season is known, but as we move past Week 11, it’s time to start thinking about the potential teams who are going into playoffs this year.

Here are some of the most common predictions for 2023 NFL playoffs – and matches you can watch once playoffs begin.

Who’s Going into Playoffs 2023

Let’s start with AFC.

Kansas City Chiefs are leading the AFC seeding chances as the number one pick. There is also a 99% chance the Chiefs will make the playoffs – as they are currently standing at 7-2, closely followed by Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens (6-3 and 7-3, respectively).  The Dolphins again have a 95% chance of getting into playoffs, with Ravens being positioned third with a 91% chance.

The Jaguars are the fourth team in the conference that might get a chance to enter the 2023 playoffs with an 83% chance – which is pretty high chance, honestly. They also have a 64% chance to clinch the division. Houston Texans surprised everyone by going from a surefire number one pick to the bottom section of the list.

To sum up, the Chiefs, Dolphins, Jaguars, Browns, and the Steelers have chances to become seedings.

On the other hand, the NFC has strong standings too.

The Eagles are the absolute favorite both for the playoffs, to clinch the division and the bye week, and make it to the main event – the Super Bowl.

They are closely followed by San Francisco 49ers, who have secured their place in the playoffs with a 99% chance. Right behind the 49ers are Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys, with both teams having a 97% chance of entering the playoffs. In other words, a safe bet for sure.

The Vikings are another sure bet for entering playoffs, while Seahawks and Saints have a slightly lower but still pretty solid chance of making the playoffs. Sadly, their chance of getting all the way to the Super Bowl are very low (only 2%).

However, we would not be surprised to see Bucaneers and Los Angeles Rams enter the seeding in the conference, as they might join the wild-card race too.

Super Bowl LVIII: Surprise on the Horizon or a Repeat of 2023?

While we can easily make predictions regarding playoffs, it’s still too early to say things about the final event.

Super Bowl LVIII is months away, and we are still in the Week 10 of 18 – there’s still two months before we get to the final match.

Also, for context, Super Bowl LVIII will take place on Sunday February 11, 2024, in the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.

For now, the top 5 teams whose chances of getting to Super Bowl LVIII are the Philadelphia Eagles, the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens. These five teams all have chances over 20%, while remaining teams are less likely to be seen at kickoff in February in Nevada.

Important Games to Watch

If you want to feel the pulse of the season and enjoy premium-quality football – and see where things might go in the coming weeks, here are some of the game you should not miss.

Certainly one of the biggest and most anticipated games in week 11 is the Philadelphia Eagles – Kansas City Chiefs match taking place on November 20, 2023. You cah purchase the tickets for this game HERE.

This is the first time the two teams are meeting up after the Super Bowl 2023, when Chefs beat Eagles 38-35 and took the ring.

For now, odds and predictions for this match are hard to tell as they re quite balanced. The Eagles have one more win than the Chiefs, as Chiefs lost their debut season game against the Lions and the second game in the season against the Broncos.

Stay tuned for more predictions and news about Super Bowl LVIII.

Best Teams to Watch in MLB 2023 – Top 5 Most Watchable Teams

26th May 2023 | Category: Sports

If you’re buying tickets for any MLB 2023 series, you never quite know what you’re going to get. “Like a box of chocolates”, as one movie famously put it. You may be in for the show of a lifetime, or you may just bear witness to a slow-burn drag of a game in which the hot dogs are the most interesting part. It’s part of the charm of baseball, we suppose.

But what if there was a way to game the system? What if you could find MLB matches in 2023 that have the biggest shot at being interesting, exciting, or otherwise a treat to watch?

That’s our mission today. We initially considered listing must-watch series for the season, but that may just be too unpredictable. Instead, we’ll rely on our knowledge of team lineups, results, and playstyles to bring you a list of the best baseball teams to watch in 2023.

Obviously, the rankings are based on “watchability”, which is obviously not an exact science. We’re not ranking teams in terms of form, quality, or the chances of success – merely how exciting we believe they’ll be to watch in the season going forward.

If that’s clear, we can finally move on to the list itself!

New York Mets

We’ll kick things off with an obvious pick. Not only are the Mets one of the favorites to take the World Series, but the ridiculous amount of funding paints them as rather desperate to bring the title back to Queens. Moreover, they’re facing huge expectations – for better or worse. Chairman Steve Cohen made sure that the massive $336 million bankroll goes towards a star-studded roster that is sure to catch a lot of attention.

Despite losing Diaz and deGrom, the path for the Mets going forward is going to be explosive one – one way or another. They’ll either shine brighter than they have in years or crash and burn spectacularly. Either way, we’re in for a show!

Philadelphia Phillies

Where the Mets are seen as favorites, the Phillies are just widely considered to be fun to watch. Plain and simple.

This has a lot to do with an eclectic lineup made up of players like T. Realmuto, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner. The good news is that all three will still be with the fightin’ fills. The bad news is that their performance in the season so far has been rather lacking.

Still, win or lose, the Phillies always seem to put up a good fight, which is what this list is all about. Beloved by fans and valued by tipsters, the Phillies are a must-watch squad for any true baseball fan.

San Diego Padres

The Padres and their ongoing rivalry with the Dodgers are always some of the most-discussed topics among baseball fans. The ball seems to be firmly in LA’s court with a 5-win streak, so most tipsters doubt the Padres will be able to finish ahead. However, in our opinion (and the opinion of many other fans of analysts) they tend to put on a much better show than their more successful counterparts.

Putting aside the divisional rut, the Padres played around with their lineup quite a bit this year. The management made some unexpected calls, limiting their choice of pitchers but investing in picks like Soto and Bogaerts. It will be interesting to see how it will all play out, and we have no doubts the fans are in for a grand old show.

Atlanta Braves

We don’t want this list to just be a rundown of MLB 2023 favorites, but we wouldn’t be doing anyone any favors by omitting the Braves. The fact is that the amount of talent behind the current lineup is simply insane. Would we say Atlanta is more watchable then the Mets? Probably not. But they’re also a uniquely talented squad thanks to big shake-ups in the runup to the season.

We won’t spend too much time analyzing the team’s performance – the divisional success or the World Series slumps. We will just say to keep an eye on Atlanta, the several rising starts in its roster, and the player-driven approach to strategy.

Seattle Mariners

Despite what the previous entries on this list may have you believe, we’re not ranking the best-performing teams here. Our excuse is that better play is better to watch.

Still, we’ll round things off with a team that shines through on sheer likeability. Sure, the M’s aren’t exactly in strong form, boasting the longest drought in World Series appearances in recent memory. Despite all of that, the Mariners regularly appear in some of the most-acclaimed matches in any given MLB season. If you need evidence, we’ll point you towards the closing game of the 2022 post-season. Despite losing to Houston, the bout was a 6-hour spectacle that had the whole house on their feet.

In short, the Mariners have always been a crowd darling, and you need only visit a single game to find out why.
