The Packers' preseason schedule includes games against the Cincinnati Bengals, the New England Patriots, and the Seattle Seahawks, as well. The matchup with the Bengals will be played at Paycor Stadium and the other two matchups will be played at Lambeau Field.
Per Sharp Football Analysis, the Packers have the 12th-easiest schedule based off Vegas win totals for the 2023 season. Vegas also has their win total at 7.5, currently, which is obviously in large part to the Aaron Rodgers trade.
The team opens and closes its season against the Bears, which just feels right in all sorts of different ways. These two fanbases hate the opposing team, so, to set the tone and finish the season with the Bears is just a chef's kiss from the NFL.
The Packers also get the down-trodden NFC South and the underwhelming AFC West. Then throw in matchups against a rebuilding Rams squad and scrappy, yet still growing Steelers squad and there's a small reason to be a slightly excited about how 2023 could play out. Especially if Jordan Love proves to be a capable quarterback in his first full year as a starter.
