We're about four hours away from kickoff between the Arizona Cardinals and the Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome in Week 7. As usual, we will have the first quarter Game Thread up at about an hour and a half before kickoff, along with the inactive lists, but first we need to let everyone know where to find all of this afternoon's action.
Kickoff Time: We're back to the standard noon Central time start for Vikings football as Minnesota returns home. The next couple of weeks will give us a few different kickoff times, but today we're back to the same kickoff time we had for the first four games of the season.
Broadcast Info: All of the festivities will be handled by FOX again this week. In fact, it appears that all of the Vikings' games the rest of the way, save for their game this Thursday on the NFL Network, will be on FOX. The folks from FOX apparently don't expect many folks to be watching this one, so they've assigned the announce team of Chris Myers and Tim Ryan to call the game. That info comes from the good folks at The 506. If you're watching via the DirecTV Sunday Ticket package, flip the dial to Channel 705.
It appears that our friends in Canada will be able to catch the game on CTV/FOX north of the border. In the UK, you'll be able to see this one if you have the NFL Game Pass.
Radio Info: Once again, you'll have to find your local Vikings Radio Network affiliate, with the flagship station being KFAN-FM 100.3. On the satellite radio side of things, you'll be able to find the game on XM Channel 231. If you have a Sirius radio, the Vikings' feed is on Channel 112, with the Cardinals feed on Channel 139.
Weather: Well, the Vikings are back home in the Dome. Hence, weather is not going to be a factor.
Again, the Game Thread and inactives will both be up by about 10:30 AM Central time.
