I think the Browns are an intriguing and interesting choice. Old vs Young, Mayfield vs Brady, Belichik old team..etc...
I think that opener gets high ratings no matter who the opponent is. Any of the games listed would be great but would also be highly rated Sunday Night game.

It's at NE again next year. I think that'll be the choice, though it was also the season opener in 2017.
