They probably have a 1:00 home game week 4 followed by the bye after London.
Although some teams in the past who have played overseas asked the league to not have the bye week after the London game. I seem to remember the Ravens or Colts doing this, can't be sure if it was them or not.
I hope it's a road game for the Giants. Don't wanna lose a home game. 8 more days I guess until the complete schedule is revealed I reckon, right mongos?

Colts did it but I believe it was the league experimenting with it. I guess with all the European games they want you can’t give a bye to everyone every time I guess
I live a 4 hour drive away from London so will go if I can grab a ticket. Will be very hard to get though - whilst Giants are relatively well supported here, the Packers are very very popular.
Also confusing as to why this one is at Tottenham’s stadium rather than Wembley, which can accommodate 90k, so an extra 30k people, considering this game will be the most popular one over here by far.
If UK games are to continue in the future I hope we get something elsewhere, maybe nearer to me in Manchester, or even Scotland. Nobody outside of London likes London!! And it would be great for people flying over to see the nicer parts of the UK.
Must be said though, I’m not a big fan of games taking place outside out a teams usual location. I would hate it if my football (soccer) team had to play outside of the usual home/away stadium. I feel for you US based fans who may have gone to Lambeau.
I don't see how anyone in here can be pissed with this. Getting them at a neutral site instead of Lambeau is a big plus,and be honest you old farts are up at 7 am every Sunday any way lol.
With a 17 game schedule (odd number) does any team really "lose" a home game?
What does the odd number of games have to do with it? Most NFC teams, including the entire rest of the Packers' division, will play 9 regular season games in their home stadium. The Packers (and Bucs, Saints and Cards) will play 8. Same thing in the AFC, with everyone playing 8 at home, except the Jags who will play 7. Presumably everyone will be the home team for an international game sooner or later, so what goes around comes around, but to the extent playing in your own building is a better home field advantage than playing at a neutral site, the Packers and other international "home" teams clearly lost a home game this year.

Last time I went they played in Twickenham, this is much better than that,
let's see what the wife says, lol. I assume STH will get a shot at tickets? I forget what happened last time. There are also Giants travel companies that you'll pay extra but all you do is swipe the card and show up.
Thought it alligned perfectly.....nope

I’m surprised Green Bay is okay with losing a home game.

Jim, good point. I think the NFC gets the extra home game this year so it makes sense.

Really doesn't seem that bad when you think about it. I'm guessing out bye week is going to follow as well?
I like the “away” part

We have been very fortunate with bye week placement over the past few seasons. It’s our turn in the barrel. This year is the year to have it early.
Where did you find this out?
Same. I guess it's Tennessee.

the bye in week 6. Way too early, imo

Teams usually get a bye after an overseas game.

Why’s nfc or afc opponent matter?
Oh well, it's a loss anyway.
