Week 10 of the NFL Season includes the final International Game as the Panthers and Giants meet in Germany. While that matchup might not get your heart racing, there are plenty of interesting games in Week 10. Below are the five on the Sunday slate that I am most excited to see.

Early Games:

Buffalo Bills (7-2) at Indianapolis Colts (4-5)
About
: The Bills are one of the best and hottest teams in the AFC. They’re sitting on seven wins and have aims toward the post-season. The Colts would like to get to the post-season, too. They’ve turned things over to Joe Flacco and that wasn’t great in Week 9, as the team slipped below .500 with a tough loss to the Vikings. Now, they’re desperate for a home win against the Bills, who want to keep on rolling toward a high seed in the playoffs.

Denver Broncos (5-4) at Kansas City Chiefs (8-0)
About
: The league’s only unbeaten team is rolling toward the post-season. The Broncos, meanwhile, I trying to build a winning team and a winning culture for the long-term. They’re 5-4 but failed a tough road test in Week 9 in Baltimore. They get another this week in Kansas City. Can the Chiefs stay unbeaten? Can the Broncos get a crucial road win? This game has some big stakes for the AFC West and the AFC in general.

Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) at Washington Commanders (7-2)
About
: The Steelers have had a solid season and sit at 6-2, in the midst of the playoff race. The Commanders have been one of the biggest surprises in the league, sitting at 7-2 and on top in the NFC East. This game has big stakes for the playoff picture and should be a heck of a matchup, maybe the best of the Week 10 slate.

Late Games:

New York Jets (3-6) at Arizona Cardinals (5-4)
About
: The Jets showed a spark of life in Week 9, winning over the Texans to remain in the playoff hunt, however slim their shot. The Cardinals, meanwhile, are quietly in First Place in the NFC West. This is a game with big stakes feature two teams who’ve had an uneven go through the first nine weeks of the season. Who will get the win and move closer to the post-season?

Sunday Night Football:

Detroit Lions (7-1) at Houston Texans (6-3)
About
: The Lions come in red-hot and looking like possibly the best team in the NFL. The Texans come in a bit beat up, off a tough loss to the Jets, and looking to keep winning to secure their position atop the AFC. This should be a stout, physical matchup. Can the Lions keep on rolling? Can the Texans earn a huge win that shows their potential this season? There’s plenty on the line Sunday night in Houston.
