Green Bay has just one West Coast trip -- Week 9 at the Chargers -- and mercifully it comes in the wake of our bye week. And it is a perfectly-placed bye at that, coming smack in the middle of the season.
Meanwhile, two other road games (Week 2 at the Panthers and Week 13 at the Giants) also follow more than the standard one week in between.
Only the Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans, and Indianapolis Colts are scheduled to travel fewer miles than the Packers this season.
We play each of our three Division rivals on the road before hosting them in our second match-up with each.
Green Bay plays on all three major holidays during this coming football season -- Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. Not very family friendly! The first is on the road; the latter two are both at home. Don Banks (SI.com) reports that the Packers are the first team ever to play on all three holidays in the same season.
Three of our final four games are on the Frozen Tundra -- a stretch which includes visits from the West Coast Raiders and the home-in-a-dome Lions.
In addition to 4 prime time games, we also have a nationally televised game on Thanksgiving Day, and 5 ‘late games’ on Sunday afternoons.
It’s a good-looking schedule -- the road to a repeat championship!
