Here’s a look at the map, brought to you (as always) by the folks from 506 Sports. The Vikings/Lions game is represented by the red area. As you can see, most of the northern half of the United States is going to be getting this one, save for a few spots for reasons I’m not sure of. The splotches of green that are inside the red area represent the late game (because CBS has the doubleheader this week) between the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams.
