Top “Monday Night Football” games 

1. Jets at 49ers, Week 1

I’m not going to over-think this one. This is a great game to start the  for the Monday night slate, with Rodgers returning to the Bay Area to face his childhood team. Rest assured that both teams will be highly motivated to play well in front of a nationally televised audience.
