Football Schedule

I am so glad that the NFL football schedule comes out in April. With March Madness and the Masters over I need constant little reminders like this that football is coming and even though the baseball season and NBA & NHL postseasons seem to drag on FOREVER, football will eventually arrive.

So I'm looking at the Packer schedule and I'm very excited about it. The highlights:

Opening on a national Sunday night game at Lambeau against Chicago.

Playing on Thanksgiving at Detroit.

Playing at Tampa the first weekend in November. I am seeing a trip to Florida happening that weekend!

Playing at Arizona the first weekend in January. I am definitely seeing a trip to Phoenix happening that weekend!

A Monday nighter at Lambeau in December! The first ever in December. Against Baltimore.

The Packers travel outside the Midwest only twice: Arizona and Tampa. Could mean a lot of Packer fans at a lot of games. Should be no problem with being road weary.

I'm not one to project wins in April (although I do like to have fun with it and say we are going 15-1) since the NFL is very unpredictable, but I like this schedule. I think there are some fun and interesting games including playing both Super Bowl teams the last four weeks of the season. Nothing is guaranteed except we will beat Detroit at home. The Pack has done that every year since 1991. Quite a streak.
