NFL Schedule/Projections for 2020 National TV Games in Atlanta Metro Market
Ready for some (more) football? The matchups for Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football and Sunday Night Football (except for Week 17) are set. After seeing how the first three weeks of 2020 have played out, I wanted to make some educated guesses for the rest of the season. Get ready for a lot of games featuring the Tom Brady-led Bucs, Patriots, Saints, Packers, Cowboys and 49ers. As for the Falcons — they are still torturing my poor soul — their games are highlighted in bold. Going forward on this blog, I’ll preview the NFL’s national TV slate every Wednesday.
