The 2025 NFL Schedule Release is on May 14th. Let's look at three regular season games that would be stellar Super Bowl matchups. With just one week away from seeing the entire NFL schedule, the top regular season games will become center-focus.
There are always high-end matchups that usually make it into the primetime slots. Well, that won't change this year, as there are a slew of games that not only will likely be in primetime, but could also be some ultra-competitive Super Bowl 60 matchups.
Let's get into three regular season games we'd love to see as the Super Bowl.
2025 NFL Schedule Release: Regular season games we'd love as the Super Bowl
Bengals @ Packers
The Cincinnati Bengals are playing at the Green Bay Packers in the 2025 NFL Season. Joe Burrow and Jordan Love should be center focus in this game. And frankly, this game would be awesome just for the sake of it being a different Super Bowl matchup.
The Bengals went on a magical run four years ago and made the Super Bowl in the 2021 NFL Season, losing to the Los Angeles Rams. At that time, Joe Burrow was only in his second year, and Ja'Marr Chase was just a rookie.
Cincy has only been to the postseason one time since then - in the 2022 NFL Season. It's actually quite embarrassing for the franchise that they aren't playing the postseason each year, but this team is poorly-managed at the top.
The Bengals getting back to the Super Bowl in 2025 would be a miracle, frankly. As for the Green Bay Packers; this team does feel on the cusp of greatness. They went 11-6 in the 2024 NFL Season and might have an 'in' to win the NFC North given the Minnesota Vikings iffy QB situation and the Detroit Lions losing both of their coordinators.
The Bengals and Packers meeting in the Super Bowl in 2025 would be an outstanding game and great for the league.
Bills @ Eagles
The Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles was almost this year's Super Bowl, and I do believe that most of the NFL world wanted to see the Bills instead of the Kansas City Chiefs, who has made the Super Bowl three years in a row. Buffalo and Philly are two of the most devoted football towns in the league, and each fanbase is a bit crazy if you ask me.
It would be a total slug-fest, as both squads are properly built from the inside, out. The Buffalo Bills did have the best OL in the NFL in 2024 depending on who you ask, but the Eagles may also have held that honor in the eyes of some.
Given how close Buffalo has come to getting to the big time over the last half-decade, you have to wonder if they are legitimately on the cusp of doing it in 2025. Can they slay the dragon and get past the Kansas City Chiefs, and can the Eagles avoid a Super Bowl hangover in the 2025 NFL Season?
Lions @ Ravens
Both the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens were in the NFL Divisional Round in the 2024 NFL Season but lost. The Lions have Ravens have really been desperate for legitimate playoff success. Heck, both teams were in their respective conference championship games in 2023, so they have gotten close.
The Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens are a lot different in that Jared Goff is a pure pocket passer, and Lamar Jackson is the best dual-threat QB in the history of the NFL. It would be a clash of different offenses and different cultures.
Jared Goff was in the Super Bowl all the way back in the 2018 NFL Season, but Lamar Jackson has never been able to lead the Ravens to the big game. Would this be an appealing Super Bowl in the 2025 NFL Season?
