While fans won’t know the specific order they will face their opponents in, most opponents are known because of how the NFL creates its schedule. In 2017, the NFC North will face the AFC North and NFC South, along with one team from the NFC West and one team from the NFC East. Here’s a look at the NFC North team’s opponents during the 2017 season.
