Welcome to game day, everybody! We are now just hours away from the first installment of the Border Battle for 2025 as our Minnesota Vikings head to deepest, darkest Wisconsin to do battle with the Green Bay Packers. We want everyone to be able to keep track of today’s action through whichever means they feel most comfortable with, so we’re providing all of that information right here for you.
Television Info
This game will be kicking off at the best possible time for NFL action to get started, that being noon Central time on Sunday. It will be carried on the FOX family of networks, including KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities, with Joe Davis and Greg Olsen handling the call from the booth. If you’re not sure whether or not you’re in the local area. . .well, based on this week’s map from the folks at 506 Sports, you probably are. The Vikings/Packers game is represented by the red area.
If you’re outside of the red areas on the map, you’ll have to find the game on YouTube TV NFL Sunday Ticket.
For our men and women serving in uniform overseas, this game is going to be shown LIVE on the American Forces Network, specifically on AFN Prime Atlantic. Kickoff is slated for 1800Z, which works out to 1900L for viewers in Central Europe, 2100L for everyone on Arabian time, and 0300L on Monday morning for fans in Japan and Korea.
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 385. 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 one will be led by Carl Cheffers. Ironically enough, the last Vikings game that Cheffers’ crew officiated was also against the Packers, as his crew handled last year’s 27-25 Vikings victory at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Weather Info
Hey, it’s an outdoor game for the Vikings! And, if the forecast from our friends at WeatherNation holds up, the weather for this one will be about as good as we can hope for in Wisconsin in late November. Temperatures at kickoff are forecast to be in the mid 40s with no chance of precipitation and winds coming out of the west at around 10 miles an hour.
Betting Info
Not a whole lot of change in the betting lines for this one since they opened earlier in the week. The Packers remain a 6.5-point favorite, according to FanDuel, and the over/under in this one is sitting at 41.5 points.
Streaming Info
This is a FOX game, so I don’t believe there are any other legal streaming means outside of YouTube NFL Sunday Ticket. I don’t care about illegal streams, but if you happen to share them here you’re going to get banned, so keep that in mind.
That should be everything you need to know to be caught up before kickoff today, ladies and gentlemen. We’ll have our first discussion thread of the day dropping about half an hour before kickoff, at around 11:30 AM Central time, and we hope that you’ll join us there for this one.
