The Green Bay Packers will open up the 2026 season September 13th in Minnesota, and they hope to finish their season February 14th, 2027 in Los Angeles in Super Bowl LXI.

With the first-ever NFL Game on Thanksgiving Eve, a Christmas Day showdown in Chicago, and seven total standalone games, the Packers' schedule is certainly unique. But overall, it looks pretty manageable on paper ... for whatever that's worth in the month of May.

Vikings beat reporter Andrew Krammer joins the show to talk about the Minnesota Vikings, as the Packers will open up the season against Kyler Murray & Co. in Week One.

The NFL will release the full 2026 regular-season schedule Thursday, but we already know who the Green Bay Packers will play and where they'll play. (With one exception...)

Marques breaks down the Packers' 2026 opponents, and all the discussion about "strength-of-schedule," which doesn't really matter during the offseason.

Andy Herman of the Pack-a-Day Podcast joins the show to talk about the decision to release Brandon McManus, what it means for rookie kicker Trey Smack, as well as the key questions the Packers face on the offensive line.

The Green Bay Packers traded two draft picks to move up and select Florida kicker Trey Smack in the 2026 NFL Draft. Less than two weeks later, the team released Brandon McManus.

Which is interesting, considering the Packers preached the importance of "competition," after making the move for Smack, and suddenly, it looks less like a competition, and more like Smack's job. (with all due respect to Lucas Havrisik.)

So, WHAT'S GOING ON?!
