The Week 10 NFL slate, particularly the primetime lineup, will test the fandom of many football viewers. Of the three night contests, only one features a team with a winning record.

Many on social media are noting that less than stellar schedule as they prepare themselves for some potentially unentertaining matchups.

On Thursday, we’ll see the Panthers and Bears, a pair of teams boasting a combined 3-14 overall record.

It doesn’t get much better on Sunday night with the Zach Wilson-led Jets taking on the Raiders, who just ditched their head coach and starting quarterback.

We’ll finish things up with the Bills and Broncos, with Buffalo’s 5-4 record being the only above .500 in the group.

In total, that’s six teams with 19 wins and 32 defeats.

Digging deeper, the numbers get worse.

For those looking forward to high flying action and points on the scoreboard, this won’t be your week.

The Panthers, Jets, and Raiders rank 28th, 30th, and 31st, respectively, in total offense while the Bears and Broncos both rank in the bottom half of the league.

Only the Bills are scoring at a clip above 22 points per game.

Now, it would be easy to nod off early and catch a few extra ZZZs, especially given the recent daylight savings time change, but the true weekend warriors will be determined in the coming days.

“The NFL should pay us to watch those.”

“Harder to watch those games than actually play in one.”

“Why are they putting us through this?”

If you throw in an early kick between the Patriots (2-7) and Colts (4-5) in Germany, and that Week 10 NFL slate looks even less attractive.

This weekend will test you. How strong is your fandom?
