1. Seattle Seahawks
Week 1 opponent: at St. Louis Rams
What's good: The Seahawks re-signed Russell Wilson and picked up TE Jimmy Graham in the off-season. The Hawks look primed for another deep run.
What's bad: There's still no end in sight to all-world safety Kam Chancellor's holdout. Neither side is budging, and it's looking now like Chancellor will miss the regular season, if the Seahawks don't trade him first.
2. New England Patriots
Week 1 opponent: at Pittsburgh Steelers
What's good: Tom Brady's four-game suspension was overturned, giving the entire Patriots offense a huge boost and improving their outlook for the first month of the season.
What's bad: The defense remains a concern, particularly in the secondary where they lost Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner.
3. Indianapolis Colts
Week 1 opponent: at Buffalo Bills
What's good: The Colts' two biggest offensive additions, Frank Gore and Andre Johnson, rave about Andrew Luck and seem to have already built a strong rapport with him.
What's bad: While improved, there are still lingering questions about whether the Colts offensive line can give Luck enough protection.
4. Green Bay Packers
Week 1 opponent: at Chicago Bears
What's good: Aaron Rodgers, coming off an MVP year, is still in Green Bay, which means the Packers' offense will be a force each week.
What's bad: Jordy Nelson — Rodgers' top WR — tore his ACL in a meaningless preseason game, leading to Rodgers bashing the NFL preseason.
5. Baltimore Ravens
Week 1 opponent: at Denver Broncos
What's good: The Ravens defense once again looks scary, led by Terrell Suggs, Timmy Jernigan, and Brandon Williams.
What's bad: With a new pass-heavy offensive coordinator in Marc Trestman, the Ravens lack any go-to receivers outside of 36-year-old Steve Smith, who's in his last year, for Joe Flacco to throw to.
6. Dallas Cowboys
Week 1 opponent: vs. New York Giants
What's good: The Cowboys re-signed Dez Bryant before things got ugly, and the alleged Dez Bryant video tape still hasn't surfaced.
What's bad: DeMarco Murray left for Philly after the Cowboys wouldn't give him the big contract he wanted. The committee of running backs currently in Dallas — Joseph Randle, Darren McFadden, and Lance Dunbar — is one of the biggest mysteries in the NFL.
7. Denver Broncos
Week 1 opponent: vs. Baltimore Ravens
What's good: Peyton Manning is ready to unleash a new offense under Gary Kubiak, and he has an improved run game with plenty of receivers to still throw to.
What's bad: The line protecting 39-year-old Peyton is suspect, with a lot of first-time starters.
8. Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 1 opponent: at New England Patriots
What's good: The Steelers are aiming to have the NFL's most dynamic offense, and they have the tools to do so.
What's bad: Many of those weapons, including Le'Veon Bell and Martvis Bryant, are suspended to start the season.
9. Philadelphia Eagles
Week 1 opponent: at Atlanta Falcons
What's good: Sam Bradford, Kiko Alonso, and DeMarco Murray are all part of Chip Kelly's completely overhauled team.
What's bad: Nick Foles, Jeremy Maclin, and LeSean McCoy are among the many players that landed elsewhere as Kelly blew up his team. Who knows what to make of the Eagles? Only time will tell when we can assess Kelly's hyperactive summer.
10. Cincinnati Bengals
Week 1 opponent: at Oakland Raiders
What's good: The Bengals have a new run-heavy offense that figures to lean on impressive second-year running back Jeremy Hill.
What's bad: It seems as though the Bengals will still rely on internal improvement from Andy Dalton, who hasn't made the strides everyone hoped for in the last few seasons.
11. Kansas City Chiefs
Week 1 opponent: at Houston Texans
What's good: The Chiefs added Jeremy Maclin to an offense that didn't have a single receiving touchdown all year!
What's bad: There are still a lot of doubts about Alex Smith getting the ball to the end zone, Andy Reid's play-calling, and 28-year-old Jamaal Charles' ability to carry the offense for another season.
12. Arizona Cardinals
Week 1 opponent: vs. New Orleans Saints
What's good: Carson Palmer is back from last year's ACL tear.
What's bad: The offensive line that will protect Palmer is a mess. Left guard Mike Iupati, Arizona's biggest off-season acquisition, will be sidelined with a knee injury for three to eight weeks.
13. San Diego Chargers
Week 1 opponent: vs. Detroit Lions
What's good: The Chargers beefed up their offense with first-round-pick running back Melvin Gordon and guard Orlando Franklin, giving Philip Rivers some needed help.
What's bad: They might not be in San Diego very long!
14. Miami Dolphins
Week 1 opponent: at Washington Redskins
What's good: The Dolphins have a soft opening to the season, with their first six games coming against teams that didn't make the playoffs last year. It could be a nice transition for a team with several new pieces.
What's bad: The Dolphins are an improved team in a widely improved AFC East. They could play well and still finish behind the Patriots, Jets, or Bills.
15. Detroit Lions
Week 1 opponent: at San Diego Chargers
What's good: Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford are as dangerous as ever, and rookie RB Ameer Abdullah (a fantasy sleeper) has lit up the preseason.
What's bad: Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley are gone. Haloti Ngata won't be able to replace both of these guys up front.
16. Minnesota Vikings
Week 1 opponent: at San Francisco 49ers
What's good: Teddy Bridgewater is coming off a strong rookie season, and Adrian Peterson is back. This team is young and talented — a favorite sleeper pick to make the playoffs.
What's bad: Youth doesn't always translate to success, and the line protecting Bridgewater could compromise his talents.
17. New York Jets
Week 1 opponent: vs. Cleveland Browns
What's good: The Jets are stacked on both sides of the ball. Additions include: Brandon Marshall (WR), Zac Stacy (RB), Stevan Ridley (RB), Darrelle Revis (CB), Antonio Cromartie (CB), and Leonard Williams (DE).
What's bad: Off-field incidents have put a damper on the excitement, with Sheldon Richardson getting suspended for violating the substance-abuse policy before getting arrested for driving 143 mph, and Geno Smith getting punched in the face and breaking his jaw.
18. Buffalo Bills
Week 1 opponent: vs. Indianapolis Colts
What's good: Like the Dolphins and Jets, the Bills had a busy off-season that saw them bring in many new, talented faces, like LeSean McCoy for Rex Ryan's run-heavy offense.
What's bad: The quarterback competition ended with Tyrod Taylor, a four-year veteran with 35 passes to his name, beating out 2013 first-round pick E.J. Manuel for the starting job.
19. St. Louis Rams
Week 1 opponent: vs. Seattle Seahawks
What's good: The scary defensive line got scarier with the off-season addition of Nick Fairley.
What's bad: Rookie RB Todd Gurley isn't expected to play until Week 4, and cornerback EJ Gaines is out for the season. The offense could really struggle behind Nick Foles, especially when you factor in two games against both the Seahawks and Cardinals. They could be in LA before we know it!
20. New Orleans Saints
Week 1 opponent: at Arizona Cardinals
What's good: Drew Brees is still one of the best quarterbacks in football, and Brandon Browner is a solid pickup on the other side of the ball.
What's bad: Kenny Stills and Jimmy Graham are both gone, and the Junior Galette fallout was a nightmare. As in the past, the defense is biggest mystery in New Orleans and what'll likely keep them from the playoffs, even in a weak division.
21. New York Giants
Week 1 opponent: at Dallas Cowboys
What's good: Shane Vereen is in town as the new running back, and Odell Beckham Jr. is already one of the most dangerous receivers in the league.
What's bad: Injuries, as usual, are plaguing the Giants. Jason Pierre-Paul will miss at least the first month of the season, and the secondary is a shell of itself. The Victor Cruz situation doesn't sound promising, either.
22. Atlanta Falcons
Week 1 opponent: vs. Philadelphia Eagles
What's good: The Falcons spent their summer trying to improve their league-worst defense. They fired head coach Mike Smith and replaced him with Dan Quinn, the former Seattle defensive coordinator. They used their first pick on Clemson pass rusher Vic Beasley.
What's bad: Their running game is a question mark, too, as second-year Davonta Freeman and rookie Tevin Coleman are both untested and unproven.
23. Houston Texans
Week 1 opponent: vs. Kansas City Chiefs
What's good: With 2014 No. 1 pick Jadeveon Clowney healthy and playing alongside J.J. Watt, the Texans' defense figures to win them some more games.
What's bad: The offense will struggle mightily after Andre Johnson demanded out; Arian Foster got injured, and Brian Hoyer won the starting QB job.
24. Carolina Panthers
Week 1 opponent: at Jacksonville Jaguars
What's good: Luke Kuechly remains one of the best linebackers in football, and the Panthers nabbed another good one in first-round pick Shaq Thompson.
What's bad: Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL in the preseason, leaving Cam Newton with an even smaller set of receivers. Newton and the defense will have to carry this team.
25. Chicago Bears
Week 1 opponent: vs. Green Bay Packers
What's good: Mark Trestman is out as head coach. New head coach John Fox is a major upgrade. There's basically nowhere to go but up after last season, which is good!
What's bad: Brandon Marshall is out of town, and who knows what to make of Jay Cutler. The Bears won't get any divisional help, either, with the Packers, Vikings, and Lions all playoff contenders.
26. San Francisco 49ers
Week 1 opponent: vs. Minnesota Vikings
What's good: Colin Kaepernick hasn't left yet? They've got a fun Australian former rugby star returning punts? Honestly, not much.
What's bad: Basically everyone important from the past few seasons is gone, including Jim Harbaugh. Things are shaping up to be ugly in San Francisco this season.
27. Oakland Raiders
Week 1 opponent: vs. Cincinnati Bengals
What's good: A second year for Derek Carr and the additions of Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree should provide some excitement on the offensive end.
What's bad: As Grantland's Bill Barnwell notes, the Raiders scored at an elite rate last year. That number that figures to come down, even with offensive improvements, and put a damper on some of the feel-good vibes coming from Oakland.
28. Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 1 opponent: vs. Carolina Panthers
What's good: Some people are optimistic that Blake Bortles, after a rough rookie year, can start improving and build off what was an OK finish to the 2014 season.
What's bad: Tight end Julius Thomas is out one month with a finger injury, and rookie Dante Fowler is out for the season with a torn ACL, taking away two of the biggest off-season additions to the team.
29. Tennessee Titans
Week 1 opponent: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
What's good: There are a lot of good feelings about Marcus Mariota, who went most of training camp without an interception and stood strong in the pocket — his perceived biggest weakness — in the preseason.
What's bad: The problems come on the defensive side with players who can't stay healthy, like pass-rusher Brian Orakpo and cornerback Jason McCourty, and players who haven't lived up to expectations, like Derrick Morgan.
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 1 opponent: at Tennessee Titans
What's good: Jameis Winston is a serious upgrade at quarterback from Mike Glennon and Josh McCown. The NFC South is the worst conference in football, which should help Winston in his first year as a pro.
What's bad: Pretty much everything else!
31. Cleveland Browns
Week 1 opponent: at New York Jets
What's good: They beefed up their defensive line, which ranked 31st against the rush last year, to help out their elite pass defense, which ranked second last year. They should be good defensively.
What's bad: Josh McCown is the starting quarterback over Johnny Manziel, who is dealing with some elbow problems.
32. Washington Redskins
Week 1 opponent: vs. Miami Dolphins
What's good: The run game will be strong behind Alfred Morris and a bolstered offensive line.
What's bad: How much time you got? Robert Griffin III was kept in a meaningless preseason game until he had to leave with a concussion; an anonymous head coach suggested that Jay Gruden did this on purpose; Gruden yelled at the media for calling him fat; Kirk Cousins was named the starting quarterback, and the Redskins still owe Griffin $15.8 million next season.
