The 0-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers will look for their first win of the season and should get it when they host the 2-0 Minnesota Vikings this afternoon at Raymond James Stadium. Kyler Murray is expected to be back behind center for the Vikes, but so what. Murray is mediocre at best, throws a lot of picks, makes bad decisions, and that is why the Arizona Cardinals sent him packing. Baker Mayfield will be the signal caller for the Bucs, and why the Browns let him go is head scratching. Mayfield is entering his 4th season in Tampa and over his first 3 years he has thrown for 12,237 yards with 95 touchdowns. Impressive. The Bucs are currently getting 1.5 points, are much better than their record reflects, and Raymond James Stadium will be electric.
