The last region for round 1 is the Rivera Region. This is the region where everybody should know everybody else. In some ways that should make it the most competitive region out there. Yet no region has been able to escape the allure of chalk for many of these early matchups.

The Rivera Region highlights the ongoing Rivera coaching period. The legacies of many of the guys in the region have not been decided yet. This region might look completely different just five years from now. It is safe to say though that this region mighht have the most star power at the top ass any Panthers team has ever had. That includes Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly.
