This is the Pack a Day podcast.

What is up Packers fans? Happy schedule release Day. Welcome into an all new episode of the Packet Day podcast. I'm your host, Andy Herman. You can follow me on Twitter at Andy Herman NFL. And of course, the podcast at Packaday Podcast. It is, in fact, schedule release day. We made it to this. Only the NFL could find a way to release a schedule in which everybody knows who they play

already, but make it some sort of event.

Yet here we are.

The NFL is king when it comes to this stuff.

And it sort of is proof that sometimes less is more.

In an NBA season, that's what what 82 games, Major League Baseball,

162, I don't even know what hockey is. When you have a schedule that's 17 games,

probably going to be 18 in the near future, just shrinks everything down, makes everything

a little bit more important, and it just has that weight to it. So even though we've had, we, we know the opponents already and we know that they're going to

play who they're going to play at home, who they're going to play away, getting actually

the schedule released to know when they're playing each game, do they have prime time games,

what's the buy week look like and everything like that?

It still has this, you know, just sort of pulling gravity to it that it doesn't have in any other league.

So looking forward to it, we'll see what the outcome is for Green Bay and what that schedule looks like.

We do know, as we talked about yesterday, the Packers will not have any international games.

They will actually have that extra home game this year.

So nine home games, eight away games, and their travel is insanely minimal.

In fact, that first game in Australia, both teams will be traveling to and from Australia more in that trip alone than Green Bay will travel the entirety of the season

on their road trips, which is pretty crazy to think about overall.

So we'll break it all down.
