Bucs Wire and Vikings Wire predictions for Week 1

The Buccaneers are in the middle of a minor rebuild, headlined by a new offensive coordinator (Dave Canales) and quarterback (Baker Mayfield). While that significantly weakens the Buccaneers, they still have talent on both sides of the ball. Wide receiver Mike Evans, defensive tackle Vita Vea, and linebacker Lavonte David are among the best players at their respective position, and stopping them will be a challenge for the Vikings. However, the Vikings offense should do enough to keep them on the front foot for most of this game. It won’t be easy, but the Vikings should come away with a win.
