The Complete Guide to NFL Preseason Games to Watch « PREV9 of 10NEXT » Ted S. Warren/Associated Press While its not exactly the regular season or the postseason (thats the biggest understatement since my ex-girlfriend described Kate Upton as cute), the preseason is still capable of delivering quality entertainment and juicy storylines. Here are 10 preseason games sure to wet the whistle of football fans across the country: Week 1 Thursday, August 7, Indianapolis at N.Y. Jets: Smith gets first crack at claiming the Jets starting quarterback job. Thursday, August 7, Seattle at Denver: A Super Bowl XLVIII rematch! Im most excited for Denvers opening snap, which surely wont go as poorly as it did this past February. Itll be fun to watch Manning go against the Seahawks defense again, if only for a possession or two. The two clubs will meet again in Week 3 of the regular season at Seattle Thursday, August 7, Dallas at San Diego: The much-maligned Cowboys defense draws the Chargers and quarterback Philip Rivers. Good luck with that, Dallas. Saturday, August 9, Cleveland at Detroit: The preseason debut of Manziel. Need I say more? Week 2 Thursday, August 14, Jacksonville at Chicago: Bortles will likely get a long look against the Bears revamped defense. Saturday, August 16, Arizona at Minnesota: Bridgewater will probably start this contest, and if so, hell face a major test in Arizonas swarming defense. Week 3 Saturday, August 23, Tampa Bay at Buffalo: As noted earlier, Manuel is the most important player in the entire preseason. Week 3s contest against the Buccaneers provides his dress rehearsal for the regular campaign. Saturday, August 23, New Orleans at Indianapolis: Drew Brees against Andrew Luck? Sign me up. With both quarterbacks likely to play into the second half, this one has serious point-scoring potential. Saturday, August 23, Houston at Denver: Manning could be running for his life against Texans pass-rushers Watt and Clowney. Week 4 Thursday, August 28, Seattle at Oakland: With Raiders presumed starting quarterback Schaub likely to only play a series or two, Carr will see the bulk of the action.
