The Green Bay Packers’ matchup against the Minnesota Vikings is being set up to be the most-watched game from the early slate of the NFL’s Week 10 action. Outside of Eastern Pennsylvania, Ohio and pockets of the South, you’ll be able to get Packers-Vikings on FOX.
Below is the FOX early slate map from 506 Sports:
Look what happens when the AFC South is basically already decided and the NFC South is crap. Hell, half of Tennessee isn’t going to get the Titans game this week.
Just know that most of the
country’s attention will be on the matchup between the 6-2 Vikings and 6-3 Packers. With a little luck — Go Patriots! — Green Bay can end Sunday in the second spot in the NFC North, only a half-game behind the Chicago Bears. The Bears have a bye this week, so they can’t drop from their 7-2 record, but it should be noted that the Packers have a head-to-head tie-breaker over them right now.
If everything goes right, the North will look like this after Week 10:
- Bears: 7-2
- Packers: 7-3
- Lions: 6-3
- Vikings: 6-3
Yes, a three-game skid for Minnesota would mean that they dropped all the way from the top spot in the NFC North race to the bottom in about a half-month’s time. That’s life in the toughest division in football.
