Guesses on 2018 opening opponent

Who do we believe the Panthers will open with in 2018? The Belk College Kickoff is on Thursday September 1.

I'm assuming we'll open on the road again based on recent history. I don't believe they'll pair us against a division opponent, which would leave either Washington, Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Detroit (since Philly gets opener).

If we got a home game to start week 1, I say we would open against Cincy or Baltimore.

I guess it would be Cleveland or Detroit. For @RoaringRiot trip purposes, I would love to hit Cleveland in September or October.

I could see up to four primetime games this year out of these five (Pittsburgh/Dallas/ATL/NO/SEA).

Thoughts? Guesses?

Please give us Cleveland before October 15th. 

Labor Day is the 3rd so opening weekend is the 9th. So the Sept 1 game shouldn't affect whether we're home or away week one. The NFL hating the Panthers has more of an affect on that (amirite, guys?)

I actually don't have a very good guess. So I'll go.....home against Seattle.

Opening week usually playoff teams from the year before are good matchups for ratings I could see us vs Pitt, I hope for Cleveland I'd like to start with a win while we make sure we are functioning the right way. Cam starts slow games seasons etc. last year San Fran was the perfect start especially with that shoulder.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
