Packers Playoff Schedule

UPDATE With the Packers win over the Seahawks on Saturday, they advance to the NFC Championship game. They will play Sunday, January 20th at 5:30pm on FOX.
They will play either the Cowboys or Giants, I will update after that game.

I have gone over the Packers Playoffs scenario a few times, so what happens when they make it? When do the Packers play in the playoffs?

According to CBS, the 2007 NFL playoffs wildcard games are January 5th-6th, the Divisional playoffs are the next week January 12th - 13th, and the Conference Championship is January 20th. Super Bowl XLII is February 3rd in Arizona.

So look for the Packers to play in the playoffs Saturday January 12th and then the big rematch at Dallas on January 20th.

Exact times and dates are not yet available from the NFL yet, but I will keep looking.

Update: The first round playoff games are set, and the schedule is available on the NFL site.

For the first week in the NFC it is Washington at Seattle 3:30 on Saturday January 5th and then the Giants at Tampa Bay at noon on Sunday January 6th.

The Packers opponent is not determined yet, but it will be the highest seed of either Seattle, Giants, Washington, or Tampa Bay, with the teams seeded in that order.

Edit: It was pointed out by Marie in the comments that the Packers will play Saturday, January 12th at 3:30 CT. I updated this post to reflect the new information.

I also confirmed at the FOX Sports site.

I’m pretty sure that the NFL won’t announce the times until they know what teams are playing.

I Hope The Redskins or Tampa get matched up with the Cowgirls those teams could walk all over them

Willy,

Thank you for the comment.

I would hope more for Tampa, I don't think the Redskins will win a rematch with Dallas. Last game Dallas just had nothing to play for, and the Redskins will run out of steam sooner or later.
