The Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers are set to face off in a Super Bowl rematch on Thursday night. We preview the big time matchup right here.

Football is almost back Broncos Country. And boy did the NFL pick quite a game for the opening kickoff.

The Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers open up the season with the same opponent they ended their season against. This has not happened in the NFL since the Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings faced off in 1970 after both teams ended the year in the Super Bowl.

There will be a lot of questions that will go into this game. How do the Panthers play after losing the Super Bowl right out of the gate? How will new starting quarterback Trevor Siemian do in his first NFL start?

So many questions. But for now, we are going to take a look at this game, starting with the general information.
