When looking at the Green Bay Packers‘ opening seven games, there are some tough challenges on the schedule but overall, it looks OK.

The game at San Francisco looks to be the hardest but matchups with New Orleans and Pittsburgh might not be as difficult as they appear on paper. Drew Brees is no longer QB for the Saints, while the Steelers’ late-season form showed a serious decline in 2020.

The Packers will need to get off to a good start because a daunting five-game stretch awaits them, starting in Week 8 and ending in Week 13, just before their bye.
