It’s game day, ladies and gentlemen! For the first time in almost a month, our Minnesota Vikings will be taking to the field at U.S. Bank Stadium as they host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7 NFL action. We want as many people as possible to be able to follow along with the action, so let’s make sure everyone has the information they need to do just that.
Television Info
For just the second time this season, the Vikings will be playing at the best possible time for NFL games to kick off, which is noon Central time on Sunday. This game will be handled by the FOX family of network, including KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities, with Adam Amin and Greg Olsen on the call. If you’re wondering whether or not the game is going to be shown in your area, here is the map from the folks at 506 Sports. The Eagles/Vikings game is represented by the red area.
If you are outside of the red areas, you’ll have to find the game via YouTube NFL Sunday Ticket.
For our men and women serving overseas. . .I’ve gotta be honest, I have no idea what the American Forces Network is doing right now. Because of the government shutdown, AFN Is down to three channels (AFN News, AFN Now, and AFN Sports), and they’re not putting out their schedules at the moment, so I’m not sure if AFN Sports will be showing the game or not. You’ll have to check on your own.
Radio Info
If you’re going to be traveling or just prefer to listen to things through the magic of radio, we have updated our list of Vikings Radio Network affiliates for this season. Wherever you are in the upper Midwest, you should be covered.
If you have satellite radio, you can catch the Vikings feed on Channel 228. If you’re utilizing the SiriusXM app, you can listen on the Vikings’ permanent home there, which is Channel 820.
Referee Info
According to the folks from Football Zebras, the officiating crew for this game will be led by Bill Vinovich. The last time the Vikings saw Vinovich’s crew was last December at U.S. Bank Stadium, when his crew handled the Vikings’ 23-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
Weather Info
With this game taking place at U.S. Bank Stadium, the weather obviously won’t have any effect on the game play itself. If you’re traveling to the game or you’re planning on tailgating, it’s going to be a pretty perfect fall morning in the Twin Cities according to our friends at WeatherNation. Temperatures will be in the mid-50s at kickoff with winds out of the northwest at around 10 miles/hour, and those conditions will persist until it’s time to make your way home.
Betting Info
According to Fanduel, the Vikings remain a 2.5-point underdog going into this one, and the over/under is still at 43.5 points.
Streaming Info
With this game being on FOX, I don’t believe there’s another legal way of streaming this one, outside of Sunday Ticket. If I’m incorrect, someone can correct me in the comments.
Do not, however, link illegal streams in the comments. That’s bad, mmm-kay?
That should be all of the information you need to follow along with all of the action of this afternoon’s game at U.S. Bank Stadium between the Philadelphia Eagles and your Minnesota Vikings. We’ll have our first Open Thread of the day dropping half an hour before kickoff at around 11:30 AM Central, and we hope that you’ll join us!
