3. Win at home

Here’s a fun fact, the Packers have eight games they get to play in the friendly confines of Lambeau Field. And it’s never more important than this season that they protect their house.

No matter which way you look at it, Green Bay has one of the most difficult projected schedules this season. This includes games on the road against the Minnesota Vikings, Washington Redskins, Los Angels Rams, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Any or all of those could easily be conceived as losses.

In order to make up some of that ground, the Packers must go 8-0 at home. This will help negate their tough schedule and give them a solid foundation to build upon. If they can get those eight wins at Lambeau, this makes a 2-6 or 3-5 road record much more feasible.
