Alright, let's talk Packers' 2024 schedule, folks! We already knew who they were gonna face, but now we've got the full scoop on when and where the action's going down.
First off, let's talk strength of schedule. According to the stats wizards at Sharp Football, the Pack's got a pretty solid 14th ranking based on their opponents' projected win totals. Another metric puts them fourth toughest, considering their opponents' 2023 win percentages. But hey, it's not just about who they're playing; there are some other juicy factors in the mix.
So, kicking things off in Brazil for Week 1 against the Eagles, then a quick turnaround for a home game against the Colts in Week 2. Talk about a rest advantage for that one, thanks to the Friday game in Brazil. But those long flights could still throw a wrench in the works.
Now, let's talk schedule perks. A mid-season bye? LaFleur's probably doing a happy dance. Plus, with more home games than away, and just one stretch of back-to-back road games (shoutout to Detroit), things are looking pretty good for the Packers' travel plans.
Rest-wise, the Pack's mostly sitting pretty. Only two games where they're at a disadvantage, but four where they've got the edge. And check this out: lots of noon games in the first half of the season, then it's prime-time city from Weeks 12 to 15.
Speaking of Week 12, 13, and 14? Whew, that's gonna be a ride. Three tough games in 12 days, but at least two of 'em are at Lambeau. And hey, if they need to rack up some wins late in the season, they've got home field advantage for two of the last three games.
Oh, and don't sleep on those NFC North matchups. Four of the last nine games are in the division, so plenty of chances to make a statement.
But seriously, who dropped the ball on not making Green Bay vs. Houston a prime-time showdown? That's gonna be one to watch, mark my words.
And as for predictions? Let's call it early: 12-5 sounds about right. But hey, in the NFL, anything can happen, right?
