The 2023 NFL Schedule is officially out. Here’s an early breakdown of who will win every game from Opening Night until the Super Bowl.
A busy NFL offseason has reached its latest milestone with the release of the 2023 NFL Schedule. There has been a lot of drama and player movement, including Lamar Jackson’s mega-deal with the Baltimore Ravens and a potentially seismic trade sending Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets.
The draft also introduced some potential new stars to the league as the Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts hope they have found their franchise quarterbacks in Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson. The Kansas City Chiefs are still the team to beat in the NFL while a slew of worthy challengers like the Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins, Ravens and Jets seek to take them down in the AFC.
The NFC looks to be Philadelphia’s world as the Eagles have a stacked roster but the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants appear ready to push them for the top spot in the conference.
Rosters are pretty much locked in at this point so let’s take a look at predicting every NFL game in the 2023 season, going from Week 1 all the way to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.

Game Of The Week – Buffalo Bills at New York Jets
Week 1 is stacked but the unquestioned highlight of the weekend comes on Monday night as the Bills travel to New York to take on the Jets in Aaron Rodgers’ debut. Emotions will be high as the game will be played on the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks but the football is going to be very important.
Buffalo and New York figure to be locked into a battle for first place in the AFC East all season long and these teams have explosive offenses headlined by top quarterbacks. The bitter rivals split their season series a year ago with the Jets pulling a massive upset over the Bills at home before Buffalo returned the favor with a tight win in Orchard Park.
Rodgers is no stranger to the primetime spotlight and often plays at his best when the eyes of the nation are on him. Expect the Jets to make a big statement in this one.
