Week 8 TV Coverage Map for Packers-Vikings
The Green Bay Packers will host the Minnesota Vikings on FOX at 12:00 p.m. CST.

The Green Bay Packers will host the only NFC North foe they have yet to play this season, the Minnesota Vikings, on Sunday. While the Packers suffered yet another disappointing loss in Week 7, the Vikings are coming off an upset of the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. Quarterback Kirk Cousins was 35-of-45 for 378 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception, in the 22-17 victory.
Kickoff for the Week 8 tilt is set for 12:00 p.m. CST on FOX. Kenny Albert will serve as the play-by-play announcer, and Jonathan Vilma will serve as the color analyst. The duo were in the booth for the Packers’ games against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2 and the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Most of the Midwest will be able to watch the national broadcast, including all of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The full map (in yellow) is below.
One of the keys to the game will be how well quarterback Jordan Love and the offensive line execute against the blitz. Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores blitzes at the highest clip in the NFL, and the second-place team isn’t particularly close.
The Vikings have blitzed 50 more times than any other team in the NFL.
Jordan Love ranks 29th among qualified QBs in completion percentage when blitzed.

"Jordan Love ranks 29th among qualified QBs in completion percentage when blitzed."
How many does he rank behind that don't have an O-line blocking for them?

How can MN not be favored by more than 1?

I usually have 5-6 games on at one time between regular TV and the use of multiple monitors for Internet streaming. I have always had the Packers on a monitor of their own, but have now put them on the shared monitor/corner as like a sports bar does, depending on the interest of the crowd. Doing such hurts, but they simply aren't a value to watch on the big screen, and I have no expectation of that changing. Hopefully, (though I put little stock in hope) it does sooner than later.
Go Pack Go, just on a smaller screen for now.

I’d rather watch the sound of music on mute than the Vikings beating the Packers at Lambeau .

Yeah but that’s the easy choice. Would you rather watch the Sound of Music unmuted?

Especially this year.

A win against the Vikings, would be a good start.

I like to watch broadcasts of games and, in a calm atmosphere, immerse myself in the emotions of the players on the field of play. Besides, at the same time, I can scroll through https://thexofactor.com/eagle-tattoo-ideas/ and study current tattoo trends and choose a new idea for myself. Combine business with pleasure, so to speak.
