As customary, six of the Packers’ 17 games will come against NFC North teams, one apiece at home and on the road.
The NFC North’s intraconference rotation features the NFC South. The Packers will play the Falcons and Panthers at home, and Saints and Buccaneers on the road.
The NFC North’s interconference rotation features the AFC East. The Packers will play the Bills and Dolphins at home, and the Patriots and Jets on the road.
The remaining games were determined by their divisional finish (second) last year. They’ll play other teams that finished second: Cowboys (NFC East), Rams (NFC West), and Texans (AFC South). Because it’s the NFC’s turn for nine home games — each NFC team has nine home games in even-numbered seasons — the Packers game against the Texans is at home.
