The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to open the 2023 season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, and it will be a true test for both teams heading into the regular season.
The Bucs are set to enter their first game in the post-Tom Brady era behind quarterback Baker Mayfield while the Vikings look to prove to the NFL world that their 13-4 season last year wasn’t a fluke. Both teams have won their last home openers and will put that winning streak to the test. The Vikings are favored by six points via BetMGM odds.
