The Green Bay Packers will take on the AFC North and NFC South divisions this upcoming season. Not really the greatest pairing, with a struggling secondary. Although, Ted Thompson could improve upon that in a few days.

Away games at Atlanta, Dallas and Pittsburgh will be very tough. Not to mention, the Packers never play well in Charlotte, having lost two of their past three games on the road against the Panthers. Throw in the division road games and it’s a tough schedule.

Seattle, Tampa Bay, Baltimore and Cincinnati make the home schedule equally as challenging. The Bengals are the only team Aaron Rodgers has failed to defeat in his career. Will that change in 2017?

Taking health for granted, the Packers will finish the season with a record of 11-5, their best record since finishing 12-4 in 2014.

Prediction: 11-5
