5 Best NFL games to watch on Sunday in Week 3
By Lucas Schuh
1. Las Vegas Raiders vs. New England Patriots
The Raiders and Patriots were two teams that seemed to have tepid expectations to begin the 2020 season. Most thought that they wouldn’t have a great impact on the playoff race. After two weeks, it appears that we might need to recalibrate with both clubs.
Though New England sits at just 1-1 to start the year, they opened their season by destroying the Jets as new quarterback Cam Newton hit the ground running. Last week, they found themselves in a primetime showdown with Seattle. And while the Pats came up short on their final drive, they proved they can hang with one of the best teams in the league.
More shockingly though, the Raiders come into this game at 2-0 on the season. The newest Las Vegas residents went off on offense to beat the Panthers in Week 1, controlling the game when they had to. Surprisingly, though, they carried that into Week 2 as they went on the road and knocked off the Saints with another terrific offensive performance.

For the Patriots, they’re looking to stay competitive in the playoff picture, particularly in the AFC East as they’re a game behind the Bills. As for the Raiders, they would love a 3-0 start to the year as games against the aforementioned Bills, the Chiefs and the Bucs are all looming. On top of that, these are two fun, quality teams that should provide fans with entertainment.
