Last three home games are December and they are all dome or warm weather teams.

They also try to go divisional the last weeks to build some excitement if there is a good playoff race.

Was thinking that too - Arizona, Atlanta and Detroit (a dome team) in GB in December.

Unreal. However, no idea if this is confirmed or someone's guess in Excel.
Apparently there are two games mixed up on this. Rams game and one other.

I'm sure there will be the "What Will The Packers' Record Be?" prediction thread, but I'll jump the shark and predict after week one, we'll be 0 - 1. Why you ask? Because the past four consecutive Bears head coaches all won at Lambeau in their first visit - Dick Jauron, Lovie Smith, Marc Trestman ( f'in Marc Trestman) and John Fox. Now we have the soon-to-be legendary Mat Nagy bringing the frickin' Bears to town. On Sunday night no less.
Oh, woe is us.

Spoon beat the deadline release by nearly an hour. Great work.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
#Packers will face the #Seahawks in a Thursday night game on Nov. 15 in Seattle.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
Contrary to what has been reported, the #Packers are in Detroit in Week 5.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
By process of elimination I believe that leaves the #Packers at #Vikings in Week 12.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
Have just been told that the #Vikings game in Week 12 is Nov. 25 and on SNF.

pre-draft W/L guess...8-8 (maybe 9-7). lots of noon games (i like that). december will be cold (no indoor or warm games). lots of travel in the middle games.

So this season rest differential losers are IND with -11, JAX -9, DET NYG & WAS -7, NO -6. Rest differential winners are ARI +12, PIT & HOU +10, and GB +9.

Or ...
Bill Bardwell @billbarnwell
Two things regarding schedules in general. One is that a team’s bye week doesn’t mean anything, early or late
Bill Bardwell @billbarnwell
Two is that there’s no relationship between winning and the cumulative rest advantage a team enjoys over their opponents on schedule alone. Correlation between rest difference and win percentage since 1989 is -0.03.

I haven't had a chance to dig into the backstory. But I find it fascinating that Burke and Bardwell can't agree. Burke is an mathematical wizard, but Bardwell is no slouch.
My guess is that those are net days.

Off hand, I like the ending 3 games, even if 2 are on the road. If we need to win to get in, those are the opponents to have.

Not a bad schedule. No three-road-games-in-a-row. Short week to prep for Seattle, which sucks, but it doesn't look overwhelming. But as always, who knows how these teams will shake out?
The home schedule, from an entertainment perspective, does not look that sexy.
