How many wins will the Green Bay Packers finish on in 2017? The Lombardi Ave staff make their predictions.

It’s that time of year again. The 2017 regular season schedule has been released, and we now know the order in which the Packers will play their opponents. Let’s have some fun and make some way-too-early predictions.

Green Bay has finished 10-6 in each of the past two seasons. It was enough to secure the NFC North title last season, but only a wild-card berth in 2015. With the division continuing to strengthen, one has to assume the Packers may require an 11th victory to guarantee another crown. Here’s the opponents standing in the way this year.

Home: Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Seattle

Away: Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, Atlanta, Carolina, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Dallas

There will be no shortage of storylines this year. How about those 2016 playoff rematches at Dallas and Atlanta? A showdown of Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. A Super Bowl rematch between the Packers and Steelers. And the game of the century: Green Bay at Cleveland.

Maybe not so much the last one. Let’s get predicting.
