IF we win the Super Bowl, I assume we open the season on Thursday Night?

Like the other guy said Atlanta is a more likely option because it's Divisional and they were the only team to beat us the year before.

They don't usually do divisional or non-conference games for the opener though. It's typically a conference game so I would suspect it would be either Arizona or Minnesota.

Nah they wouldn't do a Superbowl rematch Week 1 AND bend the rules to make it a home game for Carolina.  My money is on Arizona or Minnesota.  Heavy on Minnesota because we didn't play them in 2015.

It's not that they don't do divisional but that they do the most appealing matchups. But you could be right 

IIRC they did giants v Cowboys to kick off the 2012 season and every year since hasn't been but it's been some form of a rematch or compelling Matchup

Looking at the history they've done divisional twice which were NFC East(zero surprise there) and non conference once with Saints vs Colts. They did do a Redskins vs Jets matchup but that was prior to the SB champ being the host.

The home and away games are already set,  so look at the home games and probably the best nfc opponent and there's your opener.
