It’s that time of the year again people — as the NFL’s opening weekend kickoff is just 24-hours away, as the Carolina Panthers will travel to Denver to battle the Broncos in a not-so rematch of the 2016 Super Bowl.
The 2016 NFL season brings just as many questions as it does excitement — will Sam Bradford be able to offset the loss of Teddy Bridgewater for a loaded Vikings team?
How will the NFL look without Peyton Manning from here on out, and Tom Brady for the first month of the season?
Will the Patriots cave to distractions — can Seattle’s new pass happy offense compliment a nasty defense on a journey back to the Super Bowl? Can Carson Palmer get over his nightmare NFC title game performance — and who between Ezekiel Elliott or Todd Gurley will come closest to 2,000 yards?
Every NFL team enters the season with a reason to be optimistic — while most teams learn pretty early that only a handful of teams are truly within the grasp of a Super Bowl title. Before I break down each division the BSO Staff gave their Super Bowl predictions for the 2016 season and a few of their predictions may shock you — while some play it close to the vest.
