NFL Nation reporters preview the 2026 season, highlighting strengths, concerns, and bold predictions for all 32 teams. The season kicks off with a Super Bowl rematch between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots on Wednesday, followed by Thursday night's first-ever regular-season game in Australia featuring the Los Angeles Rams versus San Francisco 49ers.

ESPN's Matt Bowen provides fantasy insights while Seth Walder delivers 32 bold predictions using analytics. The Football Power Index projects win probabilities, division titles, and playoff chances based on thousands of simulations, offering best- and worst-case scenarios from 90th- to 10th-percentile outcomes.

For the Los Angeles Rams, the passing game leads with MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford connected to star receivers Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Their biggest concern is offensive tackle depth following Alaric Jackson's domestic violence investigation and preseason injury to Keagen Trost. Stafford seeks to avoid historical regression after his career-high 46 passing touchdowns last season.

The season culminates February 14 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California for Super Bowl LXI.
