Three of four Pioneer Press staffers predict the Vikings will beat Tampa Bay in Sunday's game in Tampa, with scores of 27-20, 17-10 and 20-17. The fourth picks the Buccaneers 23-17, citing their 0-2 start.
Dane Mizutani says Kyler Murray's return will recharge Minnesota's offense, with Brian Flores' defense helping secure the win. John Shipley says Murray looked out of sorts in two series against Green Bay but doubts Baker Mayfield will fare better against the Vikings. Charley Walters predicts Murray will outshine Mayfield, citing Mayfield's $55 million average annual contract and the $1.3 million Minnesota is paying Murray.
