This year the Packers play (Carr and The Raiders in Oakland on Sunday Dec 20) Note: The Raiders will not be a push over this year at all.

Then.. realistically... 6 days later play the Cards in Arizona.

That is 2 lost days traveling. 2 lost days for Christmas activities.

Make me head coach and this is what I do... We have Christmas on the road.
