Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Say what you want about Brett Favre, but Sunday's game between his 6-1 Vikings and the 4-2 Packers -- his first return to Lambeau Field -- should be a good one (Vegas agrees, making Green Bay three-point favorites, which is essentially a pick 'em). And that is fortunate, since just about everyone in the United State will be getting the game.
The area in red will be getting Fox's broadcast of Vikings-Packers, or as The506.com puts it, "Favre's new team @ Favre's old team," called by "guy who's familiar with QB man-crushes, guy who beat Favre in the 1995 NFC Championship."
According to Sports Illustrated's Ricard Deitsch, that game is going out to "approx 91% of the nation -- the highest % this season."
UPDATE: In all of our Favre-excitement, we forgot to mention: for the 9% of the country without the game, worry not, because there will be a "Favre-Cam." Streaming live on both NFL.com and Foxsports.com, the camera will be "isolated on Favre from the second he takes the field against his former team until the moment he runs back into the locker room." Fantastic.

Yeah, it’s gonna be quite painful to watch that Panthers-Cardinals game instead. But hey, it’s not like there won’t be an internet stream of it available for the people like me in those markets.
