We’ve got the coverage maps for this week’s matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, and for most of the folks in the Midwestern part of the country, it looks like you should be covered by the folks from CBS.
Here is the map from the folks at 506 Sports, with the Colts/Vikings game being represented by the blue areas on the map.
As you can see, the broadcast area covers Minnesota, most of the Dakotas and Iowa, as well as pretty much all of Wisconsin, Michigan,
Indiana, and Illinois. There are also portions of Nebraska and Missouri that are covered, along with what appears to be the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas, the Pacific Northwest, and folks in Alaska will be getting the game this week as well.
As far as the other colors, the red area is the Cincinnati at Baltimore game, yellow is Cleveland at Tennessee, and Orange is Miami at the New York Jets. The green area is for the Denver/Arizona game, which is a part of the late window as FOX has the doubleheader this week.
We’re also getting one of the better broadcast teams in the business for this one, as the booth will be manned by the duo of Ian Eagle and Ross Tucker. I’m not sure how the hierarchy works at CBS beyond Jim Nantz and J.J. Watt being considered the #1 team, but Eagle and Tucker are very good. The Vikings are only scheduled to be on CBS twice more this season as it stands right now, and their next appearance on CBS isn’t until Week 13.
That’s your map for this week, folks. It might change over the course of the week, though changes are generally unlikely. If there are any drastic changes, we’ll pass the updated map along to you.
