Green Bay Packers opponents for the 2023 NFL season: Reclaiming the NFC North hinges on AFC West powerhouses

The Green Bay Packers had a rather underwhelming 2022 season as they failed to qualify for the postseason. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the team to an 8-9 record as they finished third in the NFC North division.

As the 2022 regular season is done and dusted, the Packers' opponents for the 2023 campaign have been revealed. Matt LaFluer's side will certainly be fancying their chances of reaching the postseason next time around.

Green Bay Packers home games

While the schedule for the fixtures has not been released, the teams Green Bay will face at home are:

• Chicago Bears
• Detroit Lions
• Minnesota Vikings
• Kansas City Chiefs
• Los Angeles Chargers
• Los Angeles Rams
• New Orleans Saints
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Green Bay Packers away games

The Packers will travel to face the following sides on the road:

• Chicago Bears
• Detroit Lions
• Minnesota Vikings
• Atlanta Falcons
• Carolina Panthers
• Denver Broncos
• Las Vegas Raiders
• New York Giants
• Pittsburgh Steelers

The overall winning percentage of the Packers' opponents in 2023 is 47.3 percent. This is is is nearly the same as the winning percentage their opponents had last season at 47.8 percent.

In total, Green Bay's 2023 opponents had a collective 112-125-1 regular season record in 2022. However, past performances do not guarantee positive future results in the NFL.

Moreover, the Packers beat four of their opponents that made the postseason this term.

Which 2023 Green Bay Packers game is the most anticipated clash?

Detroit Lions v Green Bay Packers

While the 2023 season is a long way from commencing, Green Bay fans will be eagerly awaiting their two matchups against divisional rivals the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings clinched the NFC North divisional title with an impressive 13-4 record before falling in the first round of the playoffs.

The Packers will be desperate to get back the bragging rights in their division. That includes defeating the Detroit Lions, who defeated them twice in the 2022 season and eliminated Green Bay from playoff contention in Week 18. With the Lions trending in the right direction, this will be a statement series for the Packers.

If they are to reclaim the NFC North, Green Bay will have to deal with the AFC West. With the West boasting a lot of talent and some wounded vanity, there will be some very intriguing matchups between these divisions. If the Packers can deal with these powerhouses (at least better than their division rivals do), they could find themselves atop the North come the end of the season.

Much of their success will depend on whether quarterback Aaron Rodgers continues playing for the team. The 39-year-old racked up a total of 3,695 yards on 350 passes with 26 touchdowns in the 2022 regular season. Rodgers remains the talisman for the Packers and it's important that they build a team around the 10-time Pro Bowler.
