Week 7 (Vikings Bye Week) NFL Discussion

No game for the purple, but there’s still a lot happening

We all know that the Minnesota Vikings aren’t playing this week, but that doesn’t mean that the NFL comes to a halt. To the contrary, there’s going to be a lot of great NFL action for everyone to keep an eye on this Sunday afternoon. That can only mean one thing.

Yes, it’s time for our first full-on RED ZONE SUNDAY of the 2021 season (as opposed to the limited, modified Red Zone Sundays we’ve had when the Vikings were playing in the late window this season). We get to just kick back, relax, and watch all of the NFL action without the Vikings trying to give us all cardiac issues with a last-second victory. . .or loss. You know, whatever your perspective is.

Here are all of the broadcast maps from the folks at 506 Sports. CBS has the doubleheader this week, so you’ll get two CBS maps and one FOX map. Each of these games also has the latest odds (for those of you that are interested in that kind of thing) courtesy of our friends at DraftKings.
