Helping you follow all of the action
After a couple of weeks of bouncing around the calendar a bit, the Minnesota Vikings are back into a regular schedule this week as they face the Jacksonville Jaguars. We want to make sure that everyone who wants to follow the action knows exactly how to do that, so here is everything you need to know in one place.
Television Info
The Vikings are once again back at the time that four out of every five dentists agree is best for NFL football, that being noon Central time. (I wouldn’t trust that fifth dentist if I were you.) This game will be aired on the FOX family of networks, including KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities, with Adam Amin and Mark Sanchez in the booth. If you’re not sure if you’re in the local broadcast area, below is the map from the folks at 506 Sports. The Vikings/Jaguars game is represented by the yellow area.
If you’re not in the local broadcast area, you’ll have to get your coverage from YouTube TV Sunday Ticket.
For our men and women serving in uniform overseas, the American Forces Network will. . .not be showing this one live on Sunday. You’ll have to catch a replay on Monday at 0700Z. That works out to 0800L for viewers in Central Europe, 1000L for those on Arabian time, and 1600L for fans in Japan and Korea.
Radio Info
If you have a Vikings Radio Network affiliate in your area, most of them will probably be carrying the game. We’ve provided you with the full list of affiliates for this season, so use our page to find the affiliate nearest to you.
Those of you who will use satellite radio to listen to this one can find the feed from the Vikings Radio Network on SiriusXM Channel 383. You can listen to the Jaguars’ feed on Channel 229 if you feel so compelled. If you use the SiriusXM app, the Vikings’ permanent home is on Channel 820.
Referee Info
According to the folks who run Football Zebras, the officiating crew for this week’s game will be led by (Yo) Adrian Hill. The last time the Vikings saw Hill’s crew was in November of last year, as his team handled the Vikings’ 27-19 victory over New Orleans at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Weather Info
Everbank Stadium does not have a roof on it, which means that this one will be played in the elements. According to our friends at WeatherNation, that could potentially be an issue. The weather for Duval County for Sunday shows scattered rain showers all day long with temperatures in the low 80s and winds out of the southeast at around 15 miles/hour. We’ll have to see if the rain holds off.
Betting Info
According to FanDuel, the betting line for this game has moved from Vikings -4.5 to Vikings -6.5, thanks in large part to the rumors that Trevor Lawrence will not play. The over/under for this game is currently at 43.5 points, which is down about three points from the opening line.
Streaming Info
If your local affiliate is not carrying the game, remember that the Sunday Ticket package now rests with YouTube TV. If you’re in the local area and have cut the cord, you should be able to find it on a service such as Fubo TV or Sling TV.
I’ll say the same thing about illegal streams that I always say: don’t. Or damn sure don’t go advertising them here. You’ll be banned and that will be the end of it.
Post-Game Info
As is usually the case, we will be back with a LIVE post-game show after this one from Vikings Report with Drew and Ted. We’ll have a separate post for the game, or you can head over to the Vikings Report YouTube page and catch the show there.
That should be everything you need in order to follow along with all of the action of today’s clash between your Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars. As always, we’ll have Open Threads for each quarter, with the first one dropping approximately half an hour before kickoff.
