Previewing who we might host for opening night

The defending Superbowl champions will have the honor of hosting the first game of the year. Given that we only have 8 opponents to face at home we can figure out who we night face off against.

We can probably rule out the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills. Heck, we could probably rule out the Miami Dolphins while we're at it. We beat them twice at home last year and once with not just our 2nd QB but our 3rd QB, too. It also looks like we'll host the Houston Texans again. Them, the San Diego Chargers can probably be ruled out. So who's left?

How about the Atlanta Falcons. A Superbowl rematch? The NFL has done it before.

The Kansas City Chiefs? That also looks like a strong possibility. They've at least been competitive against us before.

The Carolina Panthers? They weren't very impressive opening night last year.

I got to think we'll open against either the Chiefs or the Falcons. But let's poll it. Why not?!
