The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings look to get on the winning side of the AFC North ledger as the Baltimore Ravens descend on Historic US Bank Stadium (watch out for the glass). To help us preview the Purple Bowl, we brought in friend of the program Ron Johnson (@3RonJohnson) of Vikings Gameday to get some insight on the Ravens (his former flock) and how the Vikings matchup across the Also let's make some money this weekend with Joe Duffy (@OffshoreInsider) and we revisit Episode 0001 of Purple FTW, born via the last time we played the Ravens...

The NFC North is wide open. Do the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings have the fortitude to ascend to the summit and plant their flag? Darren "Doogie" Wolfson (@DWolfsonKSTP) of The Scoop Podcast stops in for his weekly spot to discuss just that. Later on in the show, friend of the program Dr. Eric Eager (@PFF_EricEager) chimes in with some Vikings takes and grades from the good people at Pro Football Focus.

Optimism is a weird feeling, isn't it? The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings are in first place, the offensive line isn't a sieve, the Zimmer Hellfire Defense is playing at a Top-5 level, and Teddy Dave Bridgewater is set to return to practice today. I'm not comfortable with this level of good vibes. To help comfort me, I brought in 1500 ESPN Boss Daniel House (@DanielHouseNFL) to discuss the current Vikings outlook, preview the Baltimore Ravens (The Chester Taylor Bowl), and if we can bury the Green Bay Packers (spoiler: no).

Teddy Dave Bridgewater has been medically cleared to return to practice and will do so Wednesday as the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings prepare for the Baltimore Ravens. We Tell The Truth Tuesday and drop some honest bombs about Riley Reiff, Harrison Smith, and the aforementioned Numero Cinco. Plus Jordan Reid (@JReidDraftScout) stops by for his weekly spot to talk about his amazing Teddy piece, the upcoming Ravens, how the Green Bay Packers will fare without Aaron Rodgers, plus more.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings picked up a statement win Sunday at Historic US Bank Stadium 23-10 over the bitter rival Green Bay Packers. The game was essentially decided after Aaron Rodgers went down early in the game with a broken collarbone, but the Vikings are not the team to complain to about injuries to starting quarterbacks..... The NFC North is suddenly wide open. Like Laquon Treadwell was all day on Sunday.

It's happening. The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings welcome in the Green Bay Packers for the first of two Border Battles this season. Will the Zimmer Hellfire Defense be able to shut down Aaron Rodgers? Will the Vikings offense be able to put points on the board despite the myriad of injuries? All those questions will be answered on Sunday. To help us make an entertaining game even MORE entertaining, we welcomed in Joe Duffy (@OffshoreInsider) for his weekly spot to talk about the MIN (+3.5) line and other games he likes for Week 6. Later on Jordan Reid (@JReidDraftScout) of the Climbing the Pocket Podcast swings in to help forecast the upcoming tilt against the jabroni Packers.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings look to make a statement and plant their flag firmly toward the front of the NFC North race as the Green Bay Packers timidly tip-toe into Historic US Bank Stadium on Sunday. To help us look ahead to the showdown, we brought in friend of the program Alex Gelhar (@AlexGelhar) of NFL.com Fantasy to give us the 411 on his Packers squadron. Plus Josh Pelto (@JoshPelto) swings by for another Vikes Over Beers as we plot how the Vikings can stay in the hunt until Teddy Bridgewater is ready to roll. And we close it out with Darren "Doogie" Wolfson (@DWolfsonKSTP) with the latest Purple SCOOPS.

Random controversy always seems to follow the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings as the Purple accidentally caused a civil war over "Duck-Duck-Grey Duck" and "Duck-Duck-Goose" as Kyle Rudolph and company's touchdown celebration further divided an already schism'd nation. To help heal said fracture and talk some Vikes, we brought in friend of the show Manny Hill (@MannyHill84). Manny and I talked about Sam Bradford's injury, life without Dalvin Cook, if it's Teddy Time soon, and looked ahead to the Green Bay Packers rolling into Historic US Bank Stadium. Later on I'm joined by Packers apologist Ivory Hecker (@IvoryHecker), formerly of KARE11, to talk about her new gig for FOX26 in Houston and even make a friendly wager on the game.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings gutted out a much need win Monday Night in Chicago 20-17, spoiling the rookie debut of the latest Bears savior Mitchell Jerome Trubisky. Starting quarterback Sam Bradford returned, was clearly not healthy or ready, but Case Keenum sprinted in from the bullpen and saved the day with some help from Jerick McKinnon, Adam Thielen, and of course the Zimmer Hellfire Defense.
