PHOENIX, Ariz. -- With the New England Patriots winning Super Bowl XLIX, recent NFL tradition is that they will now be part of the league's 2015 kickoff game.

So whom might they play?

Those games are usually at home and the Patriots' home schedule in '15 doesn't have many marquee offerings. Here's how we'd rank the possibilities:

1. Steelers

2. Eagles

3. Bills

4. Jets

5. Washington

6. Dolphins

7. Jaguars

8. Titans

There is also the outside possibility that the game could be played on the road (e.g. Ravens in 2013), and if that's the case, how about the Colts?

No love lost there between New England and Indianapolis.
