By the way, I'm far from a Vikings fan. I'm a fan of good football.

I was just looking it up because I thought I might be wrong. Yup, inter-conference games go to the network of the away team. S/b on CBS.

One advantage of living in NW Iowa (at least today) - the Fox station in Sioux City is carrying the Da Bears vs. Carolina.

I always thought it was that why too, CBS = AFC and FOX = NFC.
The site I use as my NFL TV guide list Colts at Vikes as a CBS game. NFL TV Distribution Maps - CBS Week 2 Early
The FOX game is GB at DET and was switched on Friday from CHI at CAR talk about switching from a decent matchup to possible blow out. There are alot of Vikes, Chiefs, Bears, Pack and some Rams fans in Iowa, from experience there are more Bear fans than any others. I am not a fan of any of these teams GO BRONCOS

There probably are more Bronco fans, but there are way more Favre fans than anything and that is what they want to see.

And how is that a **** game? They are rivals. Both 1-0. Brady is out and Cassell is making his first start since high school. The coaches hate each other. Spygate. Etc etc

If I had a choice b/w getting kicked in the nuts or watching the Chiefs/Oakland game, I might think hard about the kick in the nuts. The pain would go away in an hour or so but the pain of having to watching that horse**** game would stick w/ me forever.

Look at the QB's that are playing in that game. Russell/Huard/Thigpen. The best RB is Fargas. Chiefs can't score on a team that got torched last week

Its going to be a blow out . Patriots almost lost to the chiefs!!!!! Cassell is going to have like 2 ints and farve is going to have 3 td in the first half.

There are probably just as many farve haters as there are lovers now.

Yes the rivalry is interesting but that doesnt make the game fun to watch.

I would much rather watch Colts/Vikings but I think it's hard to argue there are more of any given team's fans in central Iowa. I think there have been more and more Vikings, Packers, Bears and Colts fans in the metro area than KC fans recently, but I don't know that an official census has ever been completed

Let's all agree on one thing - KC/Oakland is one of the most boring matchups of the year and shouldn't even be played in front of an audience, let alone cameras

Does Tom Brady play defense? Last I checked the Patriots have one of the better defenses in the league. This game will not be a blowout and I am hoping that Cassell plays great.

shh, don't tell the 80,000 people who bought tickets!

On another note, they're expanding Arrowhead after the season, and I just found out I get to work on a bid package for the concrete forming next week.

They do have a decent defense but the Jets have a solid offense. They have to many weapons for the aging defense. Cotchery is going to eat up the secondary.

Besides Cotchery who do they have for a weapon? Coles is average and so is Thomas Jones. Bubba Franks is older than the Patriots defense
