The Green Bay Packers already knew their opponents, but now they know when they play each team for the 2022 NFL season.
The NFL released the entire schedule on Thursday, meaning we are one another step closer to the start of the regular season. Overall, Green Bay has 17 games–eight home, eight away, and one “home” game in London.
They begin the season with two straight divisional games against the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears in Weeks 1 and 2 respectively and finish it in the same fashion against the Vikings and Detroit Lions in Weeks 17 and 18 respectively. With a lot to break down, let’s get to the game-by-game and final record predictions.
With the Green Bay Packers’ 2022 schedule being released, let’s go game by game to make predictions on their overall record.
The #Packers 2022 schedule includes a Week 5 game in London, a bye during Week 14 & concludes with back-to-back home games. 📰#GoPackGo https://t.co/mBFd9doiOp

Week 1: at Minnesota Vikings
The Packers will play the Vikings to open the season for the second time in three seasons. This time, they’ll be kicking off a new era for the Vikings who are desperate to make a strong playoff push. Minnesota has re-tooled in a number of ways and will throw a lot of unscouted looks at Green Bay, giving them a slight edge in the season-opener.
Prediction: loss
Record: 0-1
