Purchase your cheese grinders.

As we all anticipate the NFL's schedule release this Tuesday at 4 p.m., there have been rumblings suggesting that the San Francisco 49ers will be traveling to Lambeau Field.

Chris Myers of Fox Sports tweeted that the 2010 World Champions could be hosting the 49ers on opening night, September 4th.

#NFLexpected to release regular season schedule this week...possibility the fox big game kickoff weekend will be 49ers at packers..

If true, this will be an exciting Sunday night game, televised on none other than Fox. 

Though mere speculation at the moment, one has to render the source highly credible. In addition, defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois posted on his personal Twitter account that the Pack would host the 49ers on opening night. 

I for one, could not choose a better game to open the season with. What better way to start the season off than with an away victory over the "unstoppable" Green Bay Packers?
