I think they do like to have certain marquee matchups later in the year, but with the way the balance of power can change from year to year, even that can be tricky. When the NFL is putting the schedule together they look at all kinds of factors, including potential conflicts with other sports teams that play in the same city.If you look at it just from a probability standpoint, the 16 game NFL regular season lasts approximately 4 full months (September-December), therefore you have about a 25% chance of the Packers playing in Miami sometime in the month of November. If you're looking at a specific weekend, the odds drop to approximately 6%.It would actually be a benefit to the Packers if the Miami game was scheduled in November or December. The heat and humidity is brutal down there early in the season. Hope it works out for you.</blockquote>
