Packers on Monday Night

The Packers will host the Viqueens on the season's opening Monday night:

The NFL announced on Monday that the Green Bay Packers will begin the 2008 season against the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field in the first game of the opening weekend's Monday Night Football doubleheader.

Kickoff time is slated for 6 p.m. (CT) on Monday, Sept. 8.

Game’s on ESPN. The season actually kicks off with the Giants and Redskins the Thursday before.

The rest of the Packers' schedule hasn’t been released yet, I take it, but here’s a list of the Packers’ opponents. We get Dallas at Lambeau this year.
