Green Bay Packers schedule 2020: 3 Toughest, 3 easiest games
By Lucas Schuh
The Green Bay Packers schedule for 2020 is out but what are the toughest games and the easiest games to help them repeat their 13-3 season?
The Green Bay Packers schedule for the 2020 season was released on Thursday, May 7 and many are wondering whether or not the team can repeat their efforts from this past season. Green Bay finished the regular season at 13-3 and was one game away from the Super Bowl. Of course, the 49ers handled the Packers in the NFC Championship Game.
So far in the 2020 offseason, the Packers have been among the more polarizing NFL teams. They’ve looked to help their cause for the upcoming season in some spots but have planned for the future in others.
Drafting Jordan Love in the first round won’t help them now but is a move that plans for their long-term options at quarterback. Meanwhile, tight end Josiah Deguara, running back A.J. Dillon and linebacker Kamal Martin were all drafted as well and should all play critical roles in Green Bay this season.
Green Bay was also somewhat active in free agency. While the Packers didn’t spend as big as they did in the 2019 offseason, the moves will make an impact. The franchise replaced linebacker Blake Martinez and right tackle Bryan Bulaga by signing linebacker Christian Kirksey and tackle Rick Wagner, formerly of the Browns and Lions, respectively. They aren’t big deals but both are quality additions.
As the Packers aim to replicate last season’s success, a big part of regular-season wins simply comes from matchups. Getting favorable stretches, having home games against the better opponents and so on can all contribute to a team having a favorable record. So let’s break down the easiest and toughest matchups on the Packers schedule for 2020.
