We want to make sure that as many people as possible are able to follow along with all of today’s action, so we’re going to put all of the information you need right here.

Referee Info

The gang at Football Zebras informs us that the officiating crew for this week’s game is led by the one, the only. . .Jerome Boger. It’s actually been quite a while since the Vikings have seen Boger’s crew. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 2019 to find the last time his crew handled a Vikings game, as they did the purple’s 34-14 victory over the Oakland Raiders at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Weather Info

This game will be played in the elements, and according to our friends at WeatherNation, the elements look like they could get involved. Temperatures for this one are forecast to be in the mid-70s at kickoff with winds out of the south at around 10 miles an hour, and the forecast is calling for scattered rain showers starting at around 7 AM and persisting for most of the afternoon.

Betting Info

According to our friends at the DraftKings Sportsbook, the Vikings are a 3-point favorite going into today’s game, which is basically the same as the opening line for the week. The over/under for this one is now at 43.5, which is one point lower than it was when the week started. Be sure to keep an eye on DraftKings for any changes between now and kickoff.

Streaming Info

Since this is a FOX game, you can watch this one on FOX Sports online by logging in with your TV provider credentials. You can also get the game on NFL GamePass, or by checking out a service such as Fubo TV or Sling TV.

As far as illegal streams are concerned, I’ll just say the same thing I say every year: don’t. You’ll be banned and I won’t care how hard you cry about it.

Post-Game Info

Following the game, we will be offering not one, but two live post-game shows. Vikings Report with Drew and Ted will be offering up their live show with Drew, Ted, and Chris, while our friends from Climbing the Pocket will have a live post-game show for your viewing pleasure as well. The Vikings Report show will be on their YouTube channel and getting a post here with a video embed, while the Climbing the Pocket show will be on their YouTube channel as well as the Daily Norseman FaceBook page.
