The NFL is back, baby.
The bright lights, brash egos and box office over the topness is back for another season of thrills, spills and highlight reels.
But what if you’re a newbie? What if you don’t know your Belichicks from your Beckhams or your Bells from your Bradys.
Well we are here to help.
We have compared every Premier League team to their American football equivalent so you know just who to root for this coming year.
So without further ado, off we go:
Manchester United > New England Patriots
You like winning. You like having the best manager. You like getting favourable decisions from match officials. You like that every TV pundit likes you. And you really like that everyone else doesn’t like you.

Everton > Green Bay Packers
A people’s club proud of their family roots you are a founding member of the league who likes doing things the right way.
Hull > Washington Redskins
Despite green shoots of revival name changes (or the lack thereof) have too often been the real talking point in recent years with an owner who courts controversy to boot.
Chelsea > Seattle Seahawks
Taken over by a wealthy owner whose purchase brought with it an unheralded period of success. Loved by you, hated even more by everyone else you’re in the mix for the title every year.
Rex
Tottenham > Cincinnati Bengals
A team stacked top to bottom with talent who always threaten to win it all but never quite do. One day you’ll get the big one, but not yet.
Arsenal > Philadelphia Eagles
Do you hate your own team?
Swansea > San Diego Chargers
You have a team full of likeable players that play a aesthetically-pleasing brand of football. But, sadly, you ultimately don’t win enough matches year after year.
Southampton > Miami Dolphins
Still clinging on to the glories of the one really great player you had you’ve seen your best go on to other destinations to win things there instead of late.

Burnley > Detroit Lions
You’re a blue collar, working class, no nonsense team from a blue collar, working class, no nonsense place.
Leicester > Arizona Cardinals
A coming force who had never previously done anything of note. A small market team led by a lovable coach everyone has a soft spot for you, regardless of who they actually support.

Sunderland > Buffalo Bills
A frosty northern outpost starved of success for far too long.
Crystal Palace > Kansas City Chiefs
You like making a lot of noise at home matches and pride yourselves on being the loudest of all. Matters on the field appear to matter a lot less, however, where an awful lot of people dislike your coach with a passion.

Middlesbrough > Houston Texans
Always a big offseason player your success is now built on solid defence. You have a young coach primed to make the leap to the next level.
Bournemouth > Jacksonville Jaguars
A young team packed to the gills with potential you are everyone’s trendy pick for a better season in 2016.
Watford > Oakland Raiders
Firing coaches year after year has become something of a badge of honour. You have a snappy kit, mind.
West Ham > New York Jets
You were good way back when – and actually won something in the 70s – but despite having a nice shiny stadium and shouty fans you aren’t anywhere near as good any more.

West Brom > Los Angeles Rams
Very good defensively your performance going the other way leaves a lot to be desired. Your coach is never far away from the exit and is never the media’s favourite on press day either.
Stoke > Chicago Bears
Would you be able to do it on a wet and windy night at Soldier Field?

Manchester City > San Francisco 49ers
You have the hipster coach who is revolutionising the way football is played – it could see you win it all, it could see it all explode in your face in a ball of flames.
Liverpool > Dallas Cowboys
Were very good in the 80s when you had a raft household names and got a boatload of silverware to show for it. Nowadays you’re just not quite the same having been overtaken by your rivals. But hope springs eternal that one day you’ll climb back to the top.
