Opening night will have a huge draw already just because it is the first game of the season on prime time, as well as featuring the reigning champ
The Patriots-Broncos games always draw great ratings
The "Super bowl rematch" will draw great ratings as well
I doubt they schedule either of those teams against the Broncos since my guess is they would rather save those matchups
In terms of ratings it would be a waste to use up a guaranteed ratings matchup on a night that would already draw a bunch of views regardless of the opponent
They also don't want to schedule a matchup that could result in a blowout
My guess is it is going to come down to the Chiefs, Raiders, and Texans
With the Texans being the one I would think to be the most likely
I don't think the Texans draw a ton of interest on a national level, but Brock returning to face his former team would add a bit of intrigue to this matchup
