NFL Rankings - 2016 Preseason

The NFL season starts on Thursday, so I have analyzed each team's roster and schedule to determine which teams have improved and which have regressed, and used that to determine which teams will make the playoffs. Below I have included my projections for each team's final record and playoff seeding, along with my picks for which teams will win in the playoffs:
