It is hard not to get excited for Week 8 of NFL football.
There are a handful of games that are great matchups on paper.
Also, seeing the best players is always a draw for football fans.
Here are the three must-watch games of Week 8.
Arizona Cardinals at Minnesota Vikings
This game has all the makings of a high-scoring affair.
Both teams are led by good quarterbacks, Kyler Murray and Kirk Cousins.
Also, this game features DeAndre Hopkins, Zach Ertz, Justin Jefferson, and Dalvin Cook.
With that many weapons on the field, it is going to be a long day for both defenses.
The Cardinals (3-4) visit the Vikings (5-1) on Sunday. Arizona has lost the last 10 meetings in Minnesota.
Their last win as the visiting team was November 6th, 1977.— Chuck Harris (@chuckh3) October 24, 2022
The Cardinals are more desperate for a win entering the game at 3-4.
While the Vikings sit atop the NFC North at 5-1.
This should be a very exciting game and it should not surprise anyone if it comes down to the final possession.
New England Patriots at New York Jets
These two AFC East rivals should give us a competitive showing on Sunday.
Not only are the Jets 5-2, but they find themselves out of the cellar of the division race.
For now, that spot is being held by the New England Patriots who sit at 3-4.
This game will be a defensive battle, the Jets’ defense has been a bright spot this season.
But, New York is looking for some revenge after getting stomped 54-13 by the Pats last season.
“I remember the score … I remember a lot of things … I remember it being 40-plus and them still taking shots”

“We’re looking forward to this one.”

The Patriots are coming off an embarrassing home loss and it will be interesting to see how they respond.
The difference in this game will be what team can generate more offense or turn the ball over less.
Plenty of pressure will be on Jets QB, Zach Wilson, in this game.
How he responds to that could make all the difference.
San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams
These two teams met earlier in the season and the 49ers won 24-9.
Also, taking away last year’s NFC Championship game, the 49ers have owned the Rams in recent matchups.
Including seven straight regular season wins for San Francisco.

So will the Rams finally put an end to their drought?
It all starts with Matthew Stafford.
The Rams QB is second in the NFL in interceptions with eight and has looked awful this season.
The Niners will be without star WR Deebo Samuel for this game.
Luckily newly acquired Christian McCaffrey should be full-go this week.
Both teams have playoff aspirations this year, with the winner of this game in a good spot to lead the NFC West.
