After an eventful offseason that saw some big names changing teams, massive contracts doled out to some of the league’s best players, and a whopping five quarterbacks drafted in the first round, there’s actual football to be played this week.

The reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles kick off the action on Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons, leading into the first full Sunday slate of the year.

So far, it looks like the NFC is stacked with teams ready to push for a championship, while the AFC remains wide open save for a few familiar faces.

Take a look below and see where every team stands heading into the 2018 campaign.

2017 record: 9-7, 2nd in AFC East

Week 1 opponent: at Baltimore Ravens

One thing to know: Nathan Peterman won the quarterback battle over rookie Josh Allen and A.J. McCarron, who was traded to Oakland this past weekend. With limited firepower, it’s worth wondering how long it’ll be until Allen takes over.

31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

2017 record: 5-11, 4th in NFC South

Week 1 opponent: at New Orleans Saints

One thing to know: After Jameis Winston’s latest suspension, the Buccaneers will be left to start the season with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center for their first three games. Wins won’t come easy, as they face the Saints, Eagles, and Steelers.

30. Miami Dolphins

2017 record: 6-10, 3rd in AFC East

Week 1 opponent: vs. Tennessee Titans

One thing to know: It’s hard to feel optimistic about the Dolphins after they let some big-name players go this past offseason. Can Ryan Tannehill’s return from an ACL tear give the team a needed boost?
