The NFL’s schedule has now been out for a full week, and Green Bay Packers fans are still coming to terms with the gauntlet that their team will face over the second half of the season. However, it’s not much easier in week one, when the Packers will host the two-time defending NFC North champion Detroit Lions.
This is the Packers’ first home game in week one since 2018, making this a welcome change. But seeing the Lions as their first opponent results in even this being a tough draw. Indeed, sportsbooks currently have the Packers as home underdogs for that first matchup of the season.
