Peacock to Add 172 New Titles This Week – Here’s the 3 Most Interesting

By Phillip Swann
The TV Answer Man –Follow me on X.

Peacock this week (September 1-7, 2024) plans to add 172 new movies, TV shows and sporting events to its streaming lineup. Here are the three most interesting, in my humble opinion:

Thursday Night Football: Ravens at Chiefs
Peacock and NBC have the exclusive rights to the first NFL Thursday Night Football game this season (Amazon takes over next week) and it’s starting off with a banger: The Baltimore Ravens led by the multi-dangerous QB Lamar Jackson visit the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs led by an equally lethal QB, Patrick Mahomes, and his globe-trotting, superstar singer dating TE, Travis Kelce. Will Taylor Swift be in the audience? Can the Ravens finally figure out the Chiefs’ offense? Stream in on Thursday, September 5 at 8 p.m. ET.

NFL Exclusive – Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles (Peacock Exclusive)
This is the NFL week one game that will get everyone crazy. Peacock has the exclusive rights to the Packers-Eagles opener and it’s guaranteed to generate outrage from fans, politicians and sports talk shows. ‘Why should we have to pay just to watch a single game?!!” However, if you want to watch, you will need a Peacock sub and they start at $7.99 a month.

Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist (Peacock Original)
Kevin Hart and Terrence Howard star in this eight-episode retelling of a brazen armed robbery (and murder) that occurred in Atlanta the night of Muhammad Ali’s comeback fight in 1970 against Jerry Quarry. The eye-popping supporting cast includes Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Lori Harvey and Taraji P. Henson and the trailer looks great. I’m all in.
