The Green Bay Packers schedule was released last week along
with the rest of the NFL. The Packers open up the 2016 regular season with a noon game
in Jacksonville. That will be a nice change of pace for this team from their
usual prime time or marquee opponent week one match ups. The Jaguars will be
improved, but this one should be a win for the Packers. After that they will
have the honor of being the Vikings first opponent in their new stadium. That should
be an interesting game. If the league went according to normal rotation, the
Packers wouldn't play in Minnesota first, but we think the league wanted the
Packers for this first game. After that, they come home for the Detroit Lions,
and play another noon game. After the Lions game is when things get unusual.
The Packers will get a very early week four bye. Following
the bye week they three straight home games, against the Giants, Cowboys and
Bears. The game against the Bears will be the Packers Thursday Night game this
season. Also in November, the Packers will have a three game road trip,
although it doesn't look too bad. The three opponents are the Titans, Redskins,
and Eagles. The Packers will then finish the season with three straight
divisional games, at Chicago, home against Minnesota, and at Detroit to finish
the season. Overall, we believe this to be one of the better schedules in the
league. Not ideal, but still not too bad.
