The Green Bay Packers won't know their 2017 schedule until April, but they might have a good idea of who their first opponent will be to start the season. The Packers will face the Atlanta Falcons in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2017 and if the Falcons win the Super Bowl on Sunday, the Packers could help the Falcons open the new stadium in September.

Here's what Mike Spofford of Packers.com had to say about the matchup.

I think a Falcons’ victory Sunday would make an NFC Championship rematch in the kickoff opener a distinct possibility, and I don’t think the schedule-maker would care about Green Bay’s current Week 1 streak, which is actually at three straight on the road right now. The Packers opened at home four years in a row from 2006-09. On another note, the Falcons are scheduled to play at New England in 2017, so if the Patriots win, the opener could be a Super Bowl rematch, as it was this past year.

The Packers would probably love nothing more to get revenge on the Falcons after losing to them twice in 2016. And being the first team to beat the Falcons in the new stadium would make the win more sweeter.

However, if the Falcons lose on Sunday, they will likely face the Patriots in New England to open the season and the Packers could ether open at home vs. the Seahawks or be in Dallas to face the Cowboys.
