Teams to watch: The Super Bowl-winning Seahawks and runner-up Patriots start the season with a rematch on September 9 as the teams to beat this season, with the Broncos, Jaguars, Bills, Rams, and 49ers as strong contenders. The Bears, Texans, and Chargers are also expected to play well.

Big questions: Can the Patriots stay on top of the AFC East? Will the Broncos repeat their dominance in the AFC West? Can the Seahawks hold off the Rams and 49ers in the NFL’s toughest division? And which veteran and young quarterbacks will have the biggest year?

To find those answers, I’ll be watching all season and hope international games in Australia, Brazil, England (3), France, Spain, Mexico, and Germany are as fun as I imagine they’ll be.

Let’s goooooooo!
