GREEN BAY — They've known who they're playing and where they're playing them, but on Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers will know when they'll be playing each of their 16 regular-season games.

The NFL announced Tuesday afternoon that the 2014 regular-season schedule will officially be released on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Central time. Their opponents have been set since the regular season ended on Dec. 29.

In addition to their home-and-home meetings with their NFC North-rival Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, the Packers will also face the defending Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks, as well as four other playoff participants from a year ago: The Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints.

Here's the full rundown of the Packers' 2014 opponents:

Home: Chicago Bears (8-8), Detroit Lions (7-9), Minnesota Vikings (5-10-1), Atlanta Falcons (4-12), Carolina Panthers (12-4), Philadelphia Eagles (10-6), New England Patriots (12-4), New York Jets (8-8).

Away: Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, New Orleans Saints (11-5), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-12), Seattle Seahawks (13-3), Buffalo Bills (6-10), Miami Dolphins (8-8).

The Packers could be chosen as the Seahawks' opponent for the NFL Kickoff game on Thursday, Sept. 4, at Century Link Field in Seattle, as the champs will open the season at home. The Seahawks also have the San Francisco 49ers, their NFC West rival and NFC Championship Game opponent, on their 2014 schedule, as well as the Denver Broncos, whom they defeated in Super Bowl XLVIII in February.

The Packers won't play in Detroit on Thanksgiving, as the Lions are set to face an AFC team this year in a game to be broadcast on CBS. The Packers have played at Detroit in 2001, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013. They don't have the Dallas Cowboys on their schedule, meaning the only way they'd play on Thanksgiving would be if they were picked to play in the nighttime game.

The Packers do figure to get their share of prime-time games, even coming off an 8-7-1 season, given their nationwide popularity. They figure to extend their streak of 21 consecutive seasons with a Monday Night Football appearance on ESPN, the second-longest active streak in the league behind Denver. They also figure to be picked for multiple Sunday Night Football games on NBC, although last year the Packers had two of their three Sunday night games flexed out of prime time after quarterback Aaron Rodgers' fractured collarbone.

I see the Packers having 4 prime-time games. 1 Chicago game, home vs. New England, at New Orleans and at Seattle.

I don't see the Packers having the opening night game. I think that will be reserved for Denver at Seattle. Besides, the NFL may not want the opening night game to be a rematch of the Fail Mary game, which was an embarrassment for the NFL.

Isn't the game vs Buffalo a MNF game? I thought the Bills inadvertently let slip that it was.

Denver/Seattle won't happen.

They played the Super Bowl, they play in Pre season opener,

I doubt they would have that matchup so close to each other.

Praying for a decent BYE WEEK date.

So important... Especially to this team who tend to turn into an episode of Marcus Welby MD by week 3.

Week 6, 7, or 8 would be nice.

Beating them down on their turf is going to be awesome. Green Bay WILL win this game. We are that last team to really beat them on their home turf, but this time we see it in the W column.

Zero2Cool (27m) : Who? What?

beast (9h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (13h) : meh

Zero2Cool (17h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (17h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (17h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (20h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (20h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (23h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
