Here's the teams again. It is the Rams, Bucs and Titans are confirmed.

The twist is Pats in London? GB has the extra "home" game that they have never had before so they probably won't complain about losing it to London. I will complain. I don't know how the Packers were going to break up the Green & Gold packages. Since Green already has 6 games and Gold only 2 I had hoped the Gold package would get the bonus game. If it goes overseas then it will be 2 years before I get a chance at another extra game. That's a shame because 3 games would work out well. My wife and I go to the first one. My son and I use to go to the second game. Things changed and he and his wife were going to the second game so I lost spending time with him. A third game would have solved the problem.

Oh well. I can console myself with watching their boys when they take MY tickets to go to the second game. I still win.

I know the Packers are the other team that have not played in London.

That being said, I wonder why this guy is guessing the Patriots game?

I don't know if this streak is still in place, but for the longest team, the London games did not have two winning record teams facing off against each other.

My random guess is IF the Packers have a London game, then schedule makers (for whatever reason) decided to have the (Matt and Mike) LaFleur reunion in London as the Mike LeFleur Jets face the Matt LeFleur Packers. Backup guess is Giants...

OR the Packers 9th game goes to the Gold package and the Packers have a London Away Game! Against whatever the WFT is called next year.

Speaking of the Bills, they're sporting quite a boner for the playoff game today.

This is why the New Orleans Saints had to play in an NFL stadium week 1 against the Packers, instead of using one of the many Texas college stadiums (since the Saints were practicing at TCU) in Fort Worth, TX as they got out of the way of the Hurricane. But the college stadiums weren't designed or set up to have the great high standard of video internet speed technology that the NFL now demands at all NFL games.

And they couldn't play in Dallas because the Cowboys had already rented it out for a mega Spanish band (I think some have said it was the Spanish version of The Beatles). And I believe Houston had a home game the same day.

NFL has announced the five home teams for the 2022 International Series.
• London (Tottenham): Packers, Saints.
• London (Wembley): Jaguars.
• Munich: Buccaneers.
• Mexico City: Cardinals.

Jets or Giants.
It won't be any of the NFC North teams. Also no to the Rams and Cowboys.
Pats and Titans are only maybes.

A large percentage of the recent London games have seemed to be AFC vs NFC games.

Looks like since 2017, 75% of the games in London have been different conference teams going at it. And considering they only played those type games 25% of the time before expanding the season to 17 games, that would suggest the schedule makers are probably targeting those type games, probably thinking home fans won't mind missing non-conference games as much.

So the betting favorites should be Patriots, Jets and/or Titans.

Also, I think London games have an really long history of never having two teams with winning records face off against each other.

NFL to play 29th and 30th London games, has still never matched two winning teams

Considering Patriots and Titans made the playoffs last year, I think the betting odds (based on history, which is random selection history but still a pattern) should favor the Jets.

Zero2Cool (1h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

Zero2Cool (2h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (2h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (2h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (2h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (2h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (2h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (2h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (2h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (2h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (3h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (3h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (3h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (3h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (3h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (3h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (3h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (3h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (3h) : Packers will get in

beast (3h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (3h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (3h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (5h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (6h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (7h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (16h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (17h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (20h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks
