Early Home Cooking

Green Bay would benefit from a hot start to kickoff the 2019 season with five of their first seven games coming at home. This should give Matt LaFleur a chance to get his feet under him in his first season as a head coach. It should also allow the Packers offense to establish an early rhythm that they can hopefully carry into the ladder part of the season. Green Bay hosting the 2018 Super Champion Eagles on Thursday Night Football will be a highly anticipated matchup. No one will want to miss Carson Wentz face-off against Aaron Rodgers.T

Tough Middle of the Road

Much like last year, the Packers will have a tough stretch in the middle of the season. It may not get tougher than weeks eight and nine when the take on the Chiefs and Chargers in the back to back weeks. Both will be away games, but then they will host the Panthers who will be looking to rebound after missing the playoffs last season. Green Bay will face three potential playoff teams before limping into their week 11 bye.

Finishing Away From Home

Let’s hope the Packers’ fate is already decided by then, but they will play their final two games in 2019 away from Lambeau. Of course, they will be divisional games, one against the Vikings in primetime before wrapping things up against the Lions. This will actually mark the fourth consecutive year they face Detroit in the finale. It isn’t all bad though as Green Bay will play some very winnable games against the Giants and Redskins prior to three straight divisional matchups. It already feels like the regular season finale could have playoff implications.
