Looks like we'll get to see Rodgers throw early and often... (Though they ran the ball well against the Vikings with Grant last year at Lambeau...)

Have the full schedules come out yet?

Word is that the full sched will be released on April 3rd (this Thursday) though nothing official has been said yet. They are announcing the national games for opening weekend today at the owners meetings.

So we get to wax nostalgic for Brett Favre for an extra day?

:confetti:

looks like by the start time they are doing the double header thing again on the first monday. ADP gets a prime time game the first week of the year, look out.

That's a good choice for a MNF game. I'd suspect that would have to be the early game, though. What was it.....7 and 10:30 last year? That's either 6PM or 9:30PM in Green Bay. Maybe they'll put in an AFC team in the other one? I think San Diego could host an interesting team in the early game. Wouldn't put it past the NFL to throw New England or Indy in that one. I doubt the Raiders would host the other MNF game, which means SD is probably a lock.

It's gonna be fun to watch Rodgers coming out party against the hated Vikings. Hopefully ADP doesn't spoil the fun.
