I saw other predictions that had broncos open with Kansas City, but I figured league could not resist the urge to have Super Bowls rematch as opener as just having the possibility of that happening is so very rare.

Might also be the first time it has been possible since 1970.

Remember, has to line up that the conferences play each other the following year and that the team that won the Super Bowl is home.
